Good success with the inner diameter setting. If you have a full
graphic, it will then print all the way to the inner circle. If I
import my previous labels, however, they are missing that data, so I
guess I will recreate my labels in Epson or look for a label program
that is more versatile in its dimensions. Anyone know of a great DVD
label program?

With the apparent lack of success getting the glossy DVD blanks, I am
wondering where I saw the snazzy looking printed labels, and how they
did it. Must have been either thermal or silkscreened on
professionally. My wife's office has a machine that burns the discs,
then prints the labels on them, then stacks them up. They look real
good, but she says there isn't quite enough time for the ink to dry
before they stack on the next one, and that has caused problems. She
also says that the ink they use never dries, always feels a little
tacky. I will go over there and see what they are doing and what
adjustments they might have available.

I am experimenting with ink saturation next (the Lighter/Darker
control). Will report back. Anyone have suggested settings?
