I have a Epson R200 printer and was wondering if there was any other cd printing software that allows you to drag the image so that it covers the surface of the cd (kinda like the press it software)

I tend to find with the epson one that you cant see any changed you make to the actual cd / dvd unless you print to a new one

Any suggestions / ideas ???

Cheers ScoobieDoo

Have you tried using the Import Picture function, in Epson Print CD, instead of dragging & dropping ?

Yea use that at the moment but i find that some prints are rubbish but some are really good i am not sure if its just the image that im using though

At least with the press it software you could move the image and "make" it fit the area that you wanted to print it over

I know it's not an ideal program, but if the image is dark and it's difficult to see the guidlines through it .... try right clicking the image, select Properties/Image adjustment and try making the image lighter, whilst positioning. When done click Reset to go back to original colours.

Also for correct print coverage, you might want to check your Inner/Outer Diameter settings :

Internal 41 and External 119 - Printables
Internal 20 and External 119 - Full Face Printables

Not sure if this helps ... it obviously wont solve quality issues though.

I think the picture quality to start with is the problem in the first instance..

With the cd print software that comes with the R200 printer you can move images around and resize them to make them fit? you can also ad more than one image to the cover so you could do a split imaged 50/50 or 25/25/25/25 into quarters, personally I find it very easy and flexible to use. :)
