Label Creator

[FLHaus]

Has anyone seen this problem? Whenever I use Label creator, it automatically assumes I'm making a CD instead of a DVD (Smaller hole vs. larger). I am trying to print to the DVD and do not want the larger CD size area blank. I have tried selecting creator with the DVD in the tray and selecting fill from disc, and I have tried doing it from MY DVD. It always opens up to the Music CD layout with the larger hole. When I fill from disc, it will place a DVD Video logo on it, but the center hole remains at the larger CD size. I have looked all through the selections and cannot find a way to select the smaller DVD center.

 

Please help.

Are you talking about a full face label? Make sure you have selected to print that. When you peel the label off, the center hole stays on the sheet since it die cut that way.

Oops, I should not have said holes, what I meant to say is the printable area of a CD is not the same as the printable area of a DVD. My mistake was that I should have said that I am printing direct to the DVD. I do not use labels. I have an Epson R380 printer that prints directly to printable discs.

 

I have looked at the Core Label and it is no different. I have noticed that in the Express Labeler it shows the right inside diameter for a DVD, but it will not print properly because it is looking for certain label sheets and these sheets do not match the alignment of my printer.

 

You will find that there is a fair variety of inkjet printable media out there with varying inner and outer diameter print settings being needed. I use an Epson R320 printer to print directly to inkjet printable media - both cd and dvd. I've used media that is not "hub-printable", meaning the inner section of the media is clear plastic, but I've also used hub-printable media, which has the white printable surface pretty much all the way to the edge of the center hole. This holds true for both dvd and cd media.

 

Personally, I use the Epson print program which came with my printer for printing to inkjet printable media. I find it easy to use (including setting inner and outer diameters) and very reliable.

The holes on a CD and a DVD are the same size. What you are talking about is printing to the core. It doesn't matter if it is a CD or a DVD. It is the same.

 

Set it up by making a new project.

I do not get those options for my printer I guess. When I go to that screen, the area is blank.
