16 Using the CD/DVD Printer 6 with Windows
Select PrimaColor to enable color matching profiles written
specifically for the CD/DVD Printer 6. The PrimaColor by
Candela Color Management System automatically adjusts the
color of your image according to preconfigured printer profiles
and default system profiles. This results in a very precise color
match compliant with ICC standards.
Select Z-Color to use a factory set color match scheme that is
calibrated toward the inks used in the CD/DVD Printer 6.
Note that the color of the CD surface can affect the outcome of
the colors and PrimaColor is optimized for white TuffCoat
CD's.
Ink Saturation
This option controls the ink saturation of the printed image.
When printing onto the printer manufacturer's TuffCoat CD
media, this option can be left at its default setting of 50%.
When printing onto other brands of printable CD media, you
may need to adjust this control in order to optimize the ink
saturation for the printable surface of your specific CD media.
Click and drag on the slide's box, or click on the left and right
arrows to change the ink saturation setting. Moving the slide's
box to the left reduces the overall ink saturation, while moving
it to the right increases it.
Print Black using only Black Cartidge
When using the Color+Black Ink Cartridge Setting the printer
will apply full cyan, magenta, yellow and black ink to create
black. This makes for a very strong black but also uses more
ink than using just black. This option will allow to use only
the black ink for black areas alowing for more efficient ink
usage.
Calibration Options
This section displays options for fine-tuning the position of
your printed image, changing the size of a CD's nonprintable
center, and also performing a cartridge alignment calibration.
The following gives a complete description of each of the
Calibration options.
The Inner Diameter adjustment sets the size of the non-
printable area at the center of the disc. This is measured in
.1mm units and defaults to 386 which is a standard center size.
Making this number smaller will allow you to print closer to
the center hub, but be aware that ink printing on non printable
surfaces at the center of the disc will not dry and can spin off
into a drive.
