trythat has used our Forum to tell us about an update to his CDCover printing software - Jacket Printer.

"JacketPrinter is still in Beta and Free, but I'm thinking of making it donationware. Latest version is V0.142 Beta. It's been tested on XP SP1, 2000 and 98SE with no problems. The zip is under 100KB.
JacketPrinter is a simple program for printing CD front and Back covers, DVD covers, and Labels.
There is one downside to it though, and that is that you need the .NET Redistributable (1.1), which is about a 20MB download. But you may already have it, MS recommends you go through 'Windows Update'. You can also try going here as well, for more information and links. "

So what makes JacketPrinter different to the other cover printing programs out there? Not much really :), They all basically do the same thing, but I've added a few things that I wanted in a cover printing program.

Choose border Colour
Choose border width
Rotate a cover automatically - try and get correct long side
Print multiple copies with one click
Define your own cover size
Define margins
Run from a folder and save it settings to the same folder

Usage:

To run JacketPrinter just unzip it to a folder and run. Left click on a cover to load a image in, try right clicking to see what options are available.

Changelog V0.156:

added tab for printing directly to printable discs.

Authors Notes:

What do you all think of the print quality? I can add some code which would allow you to change certain values when printing.

There is no help file, but you shouldn't need one,let me know if you need any help. As I've said JacketPrinter is a Beta program, so it may (Will) have bugs in it, but it shouldn't take down the whole PC, but be warned.
