PrintFirm’s CD booklets measure 4.75” X 9.5” and fold to fit the CD case. Page number options are 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24. These page numbers include the cover. CD booklets are printed in full color on quality 100 lb. gloss text. CD booklets give you extra space for lyrics, additional text, artwork, and photos.

These CD booklet printing tips should help you to achieve success with your booklet campaign.

1. For CD booklet printing, PrintFirm recommends a minimum resolution of 300 DPI (dots per inch). Lower resolutions may appear as good quality on your screen, but the printed result will be fuzzy or pixelated. Use caution when adapting images found online because they are typically low resolution. To check the DPI of an image file, open it in a reputable graphic design program and view the file details.
    
2. If you have any images that use RGB color, be certain to convert them to CMYK before proceeding with CD booklet printing. Since RGB is an additive color system and CMYK is a subtractive one, color differences may occur during the transition. If you convert to CMYK while using a good graphic design program, you can be certain the colors will be exactly how you desire.
    
3. PrintFirm will often use gang printing techniques with CD booklet printing. This saves you money because we can combine different types of orders in the same printing job without sacrificing quality. That being said, we still recommend that you order as many copies as you can afford as opposed to making several smaller orders. PrintFirm’s offset printing requires initial resources for job setup, but once your design is loaded and ready for CD booklet printing, the cost per copy decreases as the number of copies increases.
