Adjusting the Print Density
If ink smears on your printed CDs or DVDs, you may need to adjust the color
saturation or ink density. Disks from different manufacturers may absorb ink
differently, so you may need to adjust the density for each type of disk. Follow
these instructions to print a color saturation check pattern and make adjustments
as necessary.
1. Insert a test CD or DVD for printing, as described on page 48.
2. Start EPSON Print CD.
3. Select
Print
from the File menu.
4. Make sure

is selected, then click
Print Density
Confirmation Pattern
(Windows) or
Print Density Check Pattern
(Macintosh).
5. Click
Print
.
6. After the pattern is printed, examine the print and make the
Print Color
Correction
(Windows) or
Color Correction
(Macintosh) setting lighter or
darker as necessary.
You can print three density patterns on one disk. Each pattern is printed in a
different location.
7. After the first pattern is printed, adjust the setting, then repeat steps 4 through
6, selecting
Second
or
Second Time
to print the second pattern.
8. If you want to try a third Color Correction setting, you can repeat steps 4
through 6 again and select
Third
or
Third Time
.
9. Remove the CD or DVD and let it dry for at least 24 hours. Then check the
saturation levels again.
You can also use the Brightness and Contrast settings in EPSON Print CD to
adjust color saturation. See the EPSON Print CD on-screen Help for
instructions.
