Hi everyone,

I'm a recent ubuntu convert and after having a lot of hassle thanks to Vi$ta, I'm almost 100% ubuntu now, only games keeping windows on it's (ever smaller) partition. Anyway, one of the things I do a lot of is DVD creation, for which I like to use NEATO's line of DVD labels. NEATO are kind enough to provide downloadable templates on their website, which unfortunately are not suitable for me because:

- They're in M$ formats
- They are US Letter size
- They aren't well designed

So, I decided, with a ruler and some patience to create my own template for the amazing Inkscape.
To my amazement, it worked very well right off the bat!

I've included it here for anyone who uses the same paper or for those who want a general DVD cover template. There are included guidelines, which have been drawn over with a thick black line. If you are using the NEATO paper, print one copy first to test alignment (you might need to feed the paper backwards, I do on my HP).

For those of you using plain paper, leave the lines (thin them a bit) and use them as a guide for cutting. Enjoy!

James Martin.

This is exactly what I've been looking for but everytime I print it comes out portrait so half the image is missing. I've gone into Document properties and changed it to landscape but the same reult! Please help!
