3.931 x 3.528 in.

283x419 (with fold-down setlist area)

3.931 x 5.82 in.

The screen dimensions (72dpi) for a DAT cassette cover are

205x216 pixels

2.847 x 3 in.

So, what does this have to do with the price of tea in China?

Well, if you need a DAT cover, all you have to do is open the analog cover in any graphics or paint program and choose the 'resize' option and type in the numbers above for the new size. That's all!

The full-size version of each cover has 72dpi, since your screen can only display 72dpi. BUT, most printers will print at 300dpi which means that your 72dpi image would come out too small!
You can fix this in any image editing program on a Mac or PC by choosing the "image size or resolution" option from your image editor and changing the image from 72dpi to 300dpi. Do not be alarmed if after you make this change the covers LOOK huge on your screen as they will print out at the correct size. If you need a program to do this, you may find some at
shareware.com or download.com or at keyword "software" on AOL. If you were to download 300dpi covers, it would take forever. Sorry for the extra step you will need to take to get it right, but I think it is well worth it.
