Printing Discs on a PC

4A. Open the text panel by clicking

the arrow on the text button.

Add text by selecting one of the

options below. To create text

that follows the curve of the

disc choose Add Circular Text.

4B. You may also choose from sev-

eral SureThing smart designs. These design templates

automatically position your text and use certain text effects

to give your label a professional look. You can easily toggle

through smart designs by using the middle toggle button

on the toggle bar below the label.

5. Finally, Open the picture panel

by clicking the arrow on the

Pictures/Clipart button. Add

any logos, graphics or symbols

to the label. These graphics will

appear on top of the background

image. You can size them appropriately by dragging the

corner of the selected graphic.

6. When you have completed design work save your label by

choosing Save Project in the Actions panel.

7. To Print, go to the File menu, choose Print. Choose the

number of copies. Make sure the printer is set Disc

Publisher Pro. Click OK.

C. PRINTING FROM OTHER GRAPHICS PROGRAMS

While SureThing will handle most labeling needs, some people

prefer to use other graphic programs. Your printer driver

allows you to print from most any graphics application. The

driver will center the image and automatically crop it to the

shape of a CD. This means you do not necessarily need a

template to create a CD in your favorite graphics program.

Simply create a custom page size of 120mm (4.72 inches)

square and center your image in that area and the driver will

do the rest. The center sizes listed in section 3A should guide

you in creating your disc. Because the driver crops the image

to the shape of a CD, you do not want to make your design

round. You will find it is best to "over bleed" your design by

filling the whole 120mm area with your image. This ensures

the outer and inner diameters will print perfectly round on

your disc.
