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.

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.

choosing Save Project in the Actions panel.

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.
