18 Using the CD Color Printer III with Windows

Media

The media option will be set to CD for printing onto printable

surface CDs, DVDs, and cardboard template CDs. When sizing

your images for printing, keep in mind that each type of CD

media has the following maximum printable areas:

CD 4.567” round (116mm). For a complete description of each

type of print media and to see how each is installed, refer to

Section 2.

Ink Cartridge

Select either Color or Monochrome according to the type of

ink cartridge you have installed.

Print Quality

Select the appropriate print quality option for your image.

Keep in mind that Fast 600 provides the lowest quality but

fastest print, and that Photo 1200 provides the highest quality

but slowest print. You may wish to experiment with these

options to see which one is best for your particular CD label.

Dither Mode

Select this option to choose the appropriate dither mode for

your image. Select Optimize for photos if printing a design

primarily composed of photographic images. Select Optimize

for graphics if mainly printing text, lines, and graphics.

Color Matching

Click on the Color Matching down arrow and choose the color

matching option that’s right for you. Select None if you are

more interested in print speed rather than print color, if you

have already color corrected your image for printing, or if you

are using some other third party color matching software.
Select

Algebraic

if you would like the printer driver to make

very simple color balance adjustments based on an RGB color

model. This option gives you more natural looking images

without actually utilizing any specific color matching software.
Select PrimaColor to enable color matching profiles written

specifically for the CD Color Printer III. 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.
