OptiPrinter PRO CD/DVD Inkjet Printer

APPENDIX A: Using other Graphics Software Packages

CorelDRAW & Photoshop

While Discus offers a quick and easy method for designing CDs, if greater control & more flexibility is what you need, you may wish to use a package such as Photoshop or CorelDRAW to design your discs.

Create A Page

If you wish to use CorelDRAW or Photoshop graphics software to create an image to print on the OptiPrinter PRO, we recommend you start by creating a page 120 mm x 120 mm in your design software.

Introducing the Mask

Unlike other CD & DVD printers on the market, the OptiPrinter PRO boasts a unique and easy to use mask, which makes the accurate printing of CDs from graphics software packages such as CorelDRAW & Photoshop easier than ever before.

The OptiPrinter PRO mask looks something like Fig. A. The shaded area represents the mask itself and through the use of the mask, the printer is prevented from printing an image onto this area.
