Note: If using the Black and Color Setting, be sure to perform the Cartridge Alignment found in the Configuration Utility. Refer to section 2-B for more details on this calibration.

Print Quality

There are four options for image quality. Keep in mind that Normal 600 provides the fastest print at lower quality while Super Photo 2400 delivers the best quality at a slower print speed.

Intensity

The Intensity setting will control the amount of ink saturation on the disc. When printing onto the Primera ToughCoat discs, 50% is usually sufficient. When printing on to other brands of media, or if you would like to print darker colors, you may wish to increase the Intensity setting. Please note that higher ink saturation could result in discs not drying instantly. Also, higher intensity will result in higher ink usage causing a lower yield of discs per cartridge.

Inner Diameter

The inner diameter refers to the size of the non-printed center on your disc. The size of the center hub can vary from one type of media to the next. This allows you to set the inner diameter in millimeters allowing you to print all the way to the center hub regardless of the type of disc you are using. For the discs that Primera sells, use the following guide for Inner Diameter:

38.3 mm for Primera's ToughCoat CDR

24.9 mm for the Hockey Rink Disc, Business Card Disc and 80mm CD
