My EMC-8 Label Creator prints the CD face and Front and Back inserts in the wrong place on the "Commercial paper, CD Stomper Pro" setting. The CD cover prints 1/4 inch above the stamped CD label on the Pro's page and the Front Insert prints on the left side of the page while the Stomper Pro's stamped front label is centered. The print preview for the cover is centered, as it should be, but the print is an inch and 1/8 to the left and 1/4 inch low. The back insert came out about 1/8 inch to the left and 1/8 inch low.

I've printed the test outline on three different printers, a Cannon, an Epson and a HP and they all came out the same, in the wrong place, which suggests it's not the printer's problem. I also did the calibration routine and the circle came out perfectly centered on the lines of lettes, at the "I", what ever that is suppose to show(?). I haven't yet tried the Preferences/Fine Tuning, but this doesn't feel like "fine tuning".

I hope someone has a solution as this makes the Label Creator pretty much un-usable.

I have this same problem trying to print CD Stomper Lables with EMC8!! Ended up having to go re-design and print from my old computer with Creator 5 on it.
Anyone have a fix for this problem please??

I can never get it to work well either.

In version 7 or this one.

In 7 when I used stomp lables it never did line up well. I have to make a manual adjustments, even then it still was not perfect.

There is a printer calibrate I found in 8 that I've used and it seems to help, but some of the labels still do not seem to line up.

Plus I am using different Avery labels for 8 hoping this would help.

I use the CD Stomper Label paper, with two sticky-backed CD labels per sheet. If you have Roxio set up with "Media" set to "Commercial Paper" and "Paper Type" set to "CD Stomper Pro CD Labels 2-Up" and the you click the "Preferences" button and change the "Fine Tuning" so that the Vertical "V:" is set to -0.10 and the Horizontal "H:" is left at 0.00, the CD Stomper Labels will print just right.

Can't help with the inserts, but here's a way to get it to work. On the main Print screen there's a button called "Print Test Page." All it does is print a fine outline on the paper. You can adjust the veritcal and horizontal settings, keeping careful notes on where each one printed each time until you learn what settings work for your particular paper. That's how I learned how to print exactly in the middle of Standard 8.5x11 paper so that I can print on both sides. By the way, for Front Page it's V:2.60 and H:5.90 and for Back Page it's V:2.75 and H:4.45. That's if you turn the paper directly over, i.e. write an '1' in the lower left corner on the first print, which ends up on the same side of the sheet that the actual printing occurs, and then on the other side of the paper, on the same edge that has the '1' but on the other side and at the other end of the paper, write a '2' and print the second side there, making sure each time the written number is in the bottom left-hand corner when you place the sheet in the printer.

Clear as mud?
