True, that will get the whole image on one standard sheet, but it will shrink the image so it doesn't fit in the DVD case properly.

I can't say I've ever printed DVD inserts but what I do with my Neo Geo MVS inserts is design it in photoshop, and set the EXACT dimensions for the printout, then take it over to a printing place and have them put it on some nice paper. Then just cut it down, and I have a nice, professional insert for 2 bucks.

I use standard off the shelf paper and with print to fit it does indeed fill the entire dvd case.

I have to trim things the paper but the end result is a cover that is perfect and fits.

It all depends on what printer you're using. Most HP inkjets make the image far too small using the "shrink to fit" option.

Here are the exact dimensions of DVD inserts, in case anyone needs them:
