TurboPrint supports printing on CD / DVD printable media
for most printers that offer this functionality. We recommend the
application “LibreOffice Draw” to create the CD / DVD
layout – or the image editor “GIMP” if you want to print a photo on a
CD / DVD.</P>

<P class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; font-weight: normal">
</P>
<P class="western">Open the page layout dialog (“Format” → “Page...”)
and enter 14cm as page width and height, then set all page margins to
1cm (left / right / top / bottom) so that
a printable area of 12x12cm remains.</P>
<P class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; font-weight: normal">If
you are printing from GIMP, simply choose the page size “CD / DVD”.</P>

<P class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; font-weight: normal">We
recommend to print crosslines onto an old CD. Thus you can determine if
any adjustments to the print position or the inner /
outer margins are necessary.</P>

You can adjust the inner and outer margins and the print position for CD
/ DVD printing in TurboPrint Control Center, button “Sizes” – see
chapter “<A class="western" href="9-.html#9.Custom page size editor|outline">
9. Custom page size editor</A>”.</P>

<P class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; font-weight: normal">Now
you can design your CD, e.g. add an image (“Insert” -> “Picture” ->
“From file...”) or text (Toolbar -> Text Tool). The center hole and the
outer margin will automatically be “masked out” when printing.</P>

– a high print quality is recommended. If the printout has visible
grain or banding even in the highest print quality mode, you should
check if the print head is working properly by printing a “Nozzle test
page” from TurboPrint control center, function “Toolbox” (see chapter “<A
class="western" href="7-3.html#7.3.Nozzle Check|outline">7.3 Nozzle
Check</A>”).</P>
