Printing Discs From Windows 29
B. USING 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 116mm (4.567 inches)
square and center your image in that area and the driver will
do the rest. The center sizes listed on page 15 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 116mm area with your image. This ensures the outer
and inner diameters will print perfectly round on your disc.
