Adjusting the Print Density

If ink smears on your printed CDs or DVDs, you may need to adjust the color saturation or ink density. Discs from different manufacturers may absorb ink differently, so you may need to adjust the density for each type of disc. Follow these instructions to print a color saturation check pattern and make adjustments as necessary.

1.Insert a test CD or DVD for printing, as described on page 42.

2.Start EPSON Print CD.

3.Select Print from the File menu.

4.Make sure Stylus Photo R320 is selected, then click Print Density Confirmation Pattern (Windows) or Print Density Check Pattern (Macintosh).

5.Click Print.

6.After the pattern is printed, examine the print and make the Print Color Correction (Windows) or Color Correction (Macintosh) setting lighter or darker as necessary.

You can print three density patterns on one disc. Each pattern is printed in a different location.

7.After the first pattern is printed, adjust the setting, then repeat steps 4 through 6, selecting Second or Second Time to print the second pattern.

8.If you want to try a third Color Correction setting, you can repeat steps 4 through 6 again and select Third or Third Time.

9.Remove the CD or DVD and let it dry for at least 24 hours. Then check the saturation levels again.

You can also use the Brightness and Contrast settings in EPSON Print CD to adjust color saturation. See the EPSON Print CD on-screen help for instructions.
