INDEX

NOTE: Exact color matching of the printed discs to the screen may never be possible since there are factors that affect this out of the drivers control. The surface of the disc reacts with the ink in the cartridge to produce the color. For this reason, when printing the same image to different types of discs with different surfaces the printed output can look entirely different.

Ink Saturation

This option controls the ink saturation of the printed image. When printing onto the printer manufacturer's TuffCoat CD media, this option can be left at its default setting of 100%.

When printing onto other brands of printable CD media, you may need to adjust this control in order to optimize the ink saturation for the printable surface of your specific CD media. If discs do not seem to be drying completely it may be necessary to reduce this value.

Calibration Options

Click on the plus to reveal the following four Calibration options.

Inner Diameter

This value changes the size of the non-printed center. Larger numbers cause the non-printed center to be larger and smaller numbers make the non-printed center smaller. This number is incremented by 0.1mm so a change of 10 for inner diameter changes the diameter by 1mm.

Inner Diameter Non-Printed Diameter

230 0.905" (22.0mm) (TuffCoatTM, Default)

150 0.591" (15mm) (Physical Center)

Cartridge Alignment

The Cartridge Alignment prints a test print and then automatically scans the print to configure your printer for bidirectional printing and to align the color cartridge. It is important to perform this calibration every time you change a cartridge. If you forget to perform this calibration you will be prompted to do so before your first print from the new cartridge.
