In the Paper Stocks window you can view predefined paper stocks or create your own custom ones. You can open the window by clicking the File > Paper Stocks menu.
User-defined paper stocks are useful for modifying the size and depiction of a cover element.
Predefined paper stocks have been set to match the manufacturer’s specifications for labels and papers. For example, some special papers can require a specific placement and position of the cover element. Or labels may have different sizes.
You can select the paper stocks that are listed here or that you create in the main screen area and assign them to the current cover element.
The window consists of three areas. User-defined and predefined paper stocks are displayed in a selection list in the area on the left. Each paper stock can contain one or more labels. These labels correspond to the cover elements in Nero CoverDesigner.
Setting options for the user-defined paper stocks are displayed in the middle area. These setting options are grayed out for the predefined paper stocks.
The size and position of the cover elements are displayed in the preview area on the right.
