I usually wait until I've got a bunch and then print 'em out six at a time to use a full sheet of paper.

Post by: jlykos on October 02, 2003, 05:33:24 PM: I have a homemade Word template (created by the one and only Me) that works great. I replace the J-cards with some stiff 65lb stock paper. Contact me if you want the file.

Post by: jlykos on October 03, 2003, 09:18:39 AM: For everybody who e-mailed me asking for the file, I am going away this weekend and will e-mail it next week.

Which ones? Real audio DATs that have the hard cases, or Audio/DDS DATs that use the soft cases? I have dimensions for both, but alas they are at home.

Post by: blu666z on October 06, 2003, 01:47:36 PM: DDS I guess. Not what I would call soft but I assume we're talking about the same thing.

Going back to my days of working at a studio/duplication plant. Cassette cases either used hard cases or poly "soft" cases. Most folks ordered the hard cases, with the exception of the seminars, they tended to use poly cases.

I'll post the dimensions.

Post by: wbrisette on October 06, 2003, 03:05:15 PM: Well, here is the J-Card size: If you want to use a U-Card, you can get more info on the card, but it all depends on how you want to use the J-Card/U-Card.
