The mask interface displays the hub. 

 

Once again the 

Outer

 & 

Inner 

diameters of the hub can be adjusted to fit your media’s  

 

requirements exactly. See Fig. B. 

 

Mask Origin: 

 

The Calibration tab should be used to align your print image with the CD, however, the masks 
origin can also be used to more the position of the image by entering values in the X & Y axis. 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 

 

As you will see from the above diagram (Fig. F), the maximum distance you can move the 
mask is 1mm in any direction. It is therefore advisable to change the unit of parameter from x 
1mm to x0.1mm as shown below in Fig. G This way, tiny movements can be made to align the 
mask perfectly. 

 
 
 

 

 

Parameter Unit: 

 

 
As mentioned above, the parameter unit can be changed from x1 mm to x 0.1 mm movements 

allowing you to adjust your mask by tiny increments at a time so that a perfect mask can be 
achieved. 

 

Changing this setting to x 0.1mm will result in all measurements on the Mask interface being 
shown as tenths of a millimeter as shown in Fig. H 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

Templates:

 

 
 

To help you position your images correctly in either CorelDRAW 11 or Photoshop7,  
templates are included on the CD enclosed.  

 

These templates should be used as guides as to where to position your graphics in relation to 
the media you wish to print.
