Creating Discs
Color Matching
Graphic
mode is best used for graphical images where
accurate color reproduction is not as essential. Images printed
in this mode will look more vibrant because more ink is being
used to produce them. However, printing images of people
may produce skin tones that have a reddish tint.
Photo
mode is best used for photographic images where
accurate color reproduction is very essential. Images printed in
this mode will look lighter than those printed in Photo mode.
Skin tones especially will look more natural in this mode.
NOTE:
Exact color matching of the printed discs to the screen may never
be possible since there are factors that affect this out of the drivers
control. The surface of the disc reacts with the ink in the cartridge to
produce the color. For this reason, when printing the same image to
different brands of discs with different printable surfaces the printed
output can look entirely different .
Intensity
The Intensity setting will control the amount of ink saturation
on the disc. When printing onto the Primera ToughCoat discs,
96% is usually sufficient. When printing on to other brands of
media, or if you would like to print darker colors, you may
wish to increase the Intensity setting.
Inner Diameter
The inner diameter refers to the size of the non-printed center
on your disc. The size of the center hub can vary from one type
of media to the next. This allows you to set the inner diameter
in millimeters allowing you to print all the way to the center
hub regardless of the type of disc you are using. For the discs
that Primera sells, use the following guide for Inner Diameter:
−
23 mm for Primera's Tuff-Coat CDR
−
24.9 mm for the Hockey Rink Disc, Business Card
Disc and 80mm CD
