Hi Ely

You need to ensure you are not using any printer features such as borderless printing, or fit to page

Thanks everyone, I'm looking into buying Acoustica and the HP Photo paper. I think the major problem with my printer was the borderless option, like bluesnow mentioned.


Ahem :D

These are the settings i use with undercoverxp and print just fine.
you may need to edit as the default spec is slightly smaller.

I'm sure you are being trapped by the printer margins . . . how close the printer can get to the edge of the paper when using borders. If you look closely at a printed cover you might see that one edge is cut off a small amount. You can get around this by setting your printer to "borderless" printing. My printer (an Epson) has a setting for image expansion when borderless printing is selected. Normally this is used to enlarge the image to ensure there are no white borders around it. I have this set to "Retain Size" which means no expansion. This is under page layout in my printer dialog box. If your printer has no image enlargement setting to play with you can still use the borderless setting and then manually adjust your printout to about 98%. When printing from Photoshop you can do this in the print dialog box. I've never used UndercoverXP but it probably has a setting somewhere for adjusting the output size. You will have to play with the 98% setting to get it just right. I'm using 8 1/2 X 11 paper and it works out just fine.

im old fashioned but use publisher and really good glossy photo paper and print it as a photograph that way you get a cleaner sharper cover

Hi...

I'm in Canada and I use Acoustica to print my covers and labels. I use Letter 8 1/2 x 11 in as paper size.

Do not know the settings in undercoverxp but they must be the same.

Hope this helps.

Good luck
