Avoid the hassle and buy some A4 paper... July 5, 2006
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
These are simply too much trouble for no real benefit. The quick review is: "Don't buy these... just buy some A4 paper and use a paper cutter. You'll get better looking results in less time."
I purchased this pack of 20 thinking it would be easier, more professional-looking, and time-saving to use premade, fit-to-size inserts. How wrong I was...
For my project, I had designed a graphic in a photo editing program, and was using Nero Cover Designer to print. The program has a "NEATO DVD INSERT" template, which I assumed would work (especially since the NEATO website mentions that the correct template is already included in Nero's software, and doesn't provide a download for it). Of course, it didn't print in the correct position. The edges were way off from where they should be (and not a simple "off-center", they were just completely wrong).
So, that failed, I turn to NEATO's Microsoft Word template. It looks great on the screen--but printed, it's even worse than the Nero template. The top edge was aligned properly, but there was an enormous gap on the other side, and the sides weren't even close.
Next, I figure I'll design my own template in Nero. After a few tries, I get it very, very close to being accurate.
Now, with 8 of the 20 inserts used up, I have 2 with the edges (mostly) lined up with the perforations. So, I tear away the garbage--the long sides come off quite easily, while the top and bottom are a bit harder to tear off. Unfortunately, none of the edges are really "clean"...the perforations aren't that fine.
With the other 6 misaligned printouts, I use a paper cutter to trim the edges off, and get much nicer looking results. Which made me wonder... at nearly 50 cents a sheet, why did I buy these in the first place?
The weight of the paper is also way too heavy for what these are supposed to be designed for. For a nice fit between the thin plastic cover of a DVD case, the insert should be printed on a thin, flexible paper. This product, however, goes in the complete opposite direction with an incredibly heavy weight, almost card stock, paper. And, who thought this was a good idea?
One of the problems with the actual design is that none of the sides have equal-sized margins; all four sides are (slightly) different, making alignment in any program a headache.
So, let's see... impossible to line up, sloppy edges, far too heavy, and expensive.
Get the A4.
