INDEX

Photo mode is best used for photographic images where accurate color reproduction is very essential. Images printed in this mode will look lighter than those printed in Photo mode. Skin tones especially will look more natural in this mode.

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 brands of discs with different printable surfaces the printed output can look entirely different .

•Intensity

The Intensity setting will control the amount of ink saturation on the disc. When printing onto the Primera ToughCoat discs, 96% 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.

•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:

−23 mm for Primera's Tuff-Coat CDR

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

•Outer Margin

The Outer Margin refers to where the printing will cut off around the outer edge of your disc. The size of the printable surface can vary from one type of media to the next. This allows you to set the outer margin in millimeters allowing you to print all the way to the edge regardless of the type of disc you are using.

•Save As Default

The Save As Default button will save the current settings as the system-wide defaults.
