Printing CD album art inserts can be a headache if you're doing through trial and error, as you're bound to end up with an insert that is either too large or too small to fit the CD case. Once you know the proper dimensions, however, you can print perfectly-sized inserts whenever you need them. This process works whether you have the most bare-bones graphics software or the most elaborate.
