I would like to print some CD inserts using Photoshop/Elements. I’ve done all of the work already, but have not been able to master the settings which would allow me to have the inner parts (that is, the rear of the double side matte paper where the text would appear, on the back of the photo cover/artwork) being lined up properly when the printing is done.

In the print dialog box, I have "center" chosen but the margins do not print out exactly equal; the bottom margin (in landscape mode printing on 8.5×11 inch paper) gets printed at 1/2 inch from the edge of the paper while the top is about 7/8 inch. Also, the sides in landscape mode are not equal; the left being 1 and 15/16 inch and the right 1 7/8 inch.

All of the work is done on the same sized Photoshop "canvas" with the same settings for what will be the front and rear of the document I want printed. I know that there must be a way to have the pages properly printed out on the front and back of the double side matte paper, but I cannot figure out what I’m missing. FWIW, I have also set the calibration/registration marks in the "Print With Preview" dialog box.

Thanks for any help!
