Printing on CDs and DVDs 45
Adjusting the Print Density
If ink smears on your printed CDs or DVDs, you may need to adjust the color
saturation or ink density. CDs from different manufacturers may absorb ink
differently, so you may need to adjust the density for each type of disc. Follow
these instructions to print a color saturation check pattern, and then make
adjustments as necessary.
Note:
You can also use the Brightness and Contrast settings in EPSON Print CD to adjust
color saturation. See “Designing CDs and DVDs” on page 35 for instructions.
