    I am trying to back up all of my dvds onto printable media. I have an Epson 200. My question is how to change the print position so the image goes all of the way over to the edge of the dvd. My first attempt, the image did not go all the way to the edge on the rightside. Can you not slide the image around after it is imported? I looked at the manual on how to check the print pattern but it appears to be ok. Also, how do you get it to print all the way to the center of the dvd. My first one left a big white ring around the inner circle. Thanks in advance.

    It would help if we knew, what disc printing program you're using???

    if you're using the Epson Print CD program like I do for my R320 then you have to adjust your imported picture to fit properly and then set your settings to the measurements of the DVD! Are you using hub printables or the others? Inner/Outer Diameter settings for the hub printables are: inner diameter is 22MM and the outer diameter is 119MM this might leave a very slim sliver in the inner diameter but you can try different settings but these seem to be fine for me. If you are using regular printables that have the larger inner diameter then set that to 49mm! good luck.

    Are you "Importing" the picture or just "click-n-draging"? If you just click and drag, the pic can't be adjusted. Importing it and then grabbing the tabs will let you adjust the image size.

    Thanks for the tips everyone. I have gotten the dvd to print toward the middle hole more by adjusting inner settings. I still am a little off toward the outside on one side. I am using EPSON cd print software. Is there a more user friendly program out there that any of you would recommend for this?

    keep using the Epson Print CD program..... it's made for your printer! and sometimes I come across the same problem that you do.... just put the tray in right before the triangle.... it gives it more room to adjust! Just my opinion! Very seldom will I get a sliver of white around the edges.... it works for me!

    I have the exact same printer and it took me some time to get it right--I adjust the inner at 20 for hub printable media and 40 for non-hub printable--I keep outside diameter setting at 120--I have found that by importing the picture allows for more adjustment than just clicking and dragging--everyone here has given you great advice so far--practice makes perfect (although I hate to make a bad one!)
    Good Luck, let us know how you make out
