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 and DVDs 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.
1. Start Epson Print CD.
2. Open the File menu and select Print .
3. Insert a test CD or DVD for printing, as described on page 27.
4. Make sure EPSON Stylus Photo R260 Series is selected, then click Print
Density Confirmation Pattern .
5. Click Print .
6. After the pattern is printed, examine the print.
If you need to adjust the color, open the File menu, select Print , and make the
Print Color Correction setting lighter or darker as necessary. Then, repeat
steps 3 through 6 (but select either Second or Third in the Print
Confirmation Pattern section, depending on whether you’re printing your
second or third pattern on the disc).
Note:
You can print three density patterns on one disc. Each pattern is printed in a
different location.
7. Remove the CD or DVD and let it dry for at least 24 hours. Then check the
saturation levels again.
Note:
You can also use the Brightness and Contrast settings in Epson Print CD to adjust
color saturation. For additional information, open the Help menu in Epson Print CD
and select Help Topics.
