    Ok, i was trying to do a backup of four brothers, i already own it but i backup all my dvds and put them in seperate places just incase someone spills water, a fire starts etc or who knows, i live with alot of people who screw my stuff up.

    Anyway the pictures below are what it looks like in cdlabel print than what it looks like when printed, as you can see it does not line up, any suggestions here?

    Droppix Receives LightScribe Certification for Droppix Label Maker Pro Software, the First Multi-Drive Application of Lightscribe

    PARIS, December 16, 2005—Droppix, the new gold standard in digital media technology, today announced its new LightScribe-compliant Droppix Label Maker Pro software (multi-drive version) for creating and printing multiple professional quality CD and DVD labels simultaneously.



    Droppix Label Maker Pro with LightScribe Direct Disc Labeling technology provides a complete and intuitive solution for creating customized labels for CDs and DVDs and printing them directly on the surface of multiple discs simultaneously via LightScribe-enabled optical drives.

    "We are pleased to award compliance to Droppix Label Maker Pro for the first multi-drive application of LightScribe. Now users of systems with multiple drives can duplicate a single label or simultaneously launch multiple labeling tasks in parallel," said Kent Henscheid, LightScribe Marketing Manager.

    you need to upload them to a free picture host site 1st

    heres a link to the one i use, just join and then you will be able to upload them.

    once uploaded all you need to do is once uploaded, click on them then copy and paste the url infomation between the [*img][*/img], but take the stars out when you do it otherwise the image wont be displayed.Also make sure you use lower case

    I agree with most of the users on this subject: If you want nice looking cd/dvd's use printers like R300 PIXMA 4000 or 5000...LightScribe is funny yes, but it's not the nice's look, i think :)

    nope the pic didn't show up.

    gwendolin: I made the pic in photoshop from a background floating around on the web. I didn't have the hole in the middle in the picture originally so its not like it printed a hole, it just didn't print around the diameter correctly. Someone in another thread mentioned to me its because my verbatim is 119mm and the inner maybe different too that is why i am getting this damned white line and you can't adjust cdlabel print to print past 118mm, which is why i am wondering what you guys use. I was using nero cover designer until i uinstalled it for a previous version (7 was making cds skip) and it inadvertinatly uninstalled nero cover designer. I am wondering if that can be obtained on its own.

    1.its not in brackets the words img,
    /img
    which it should be [*img][*/img], but i see you dont have this [*] which was the important thing to remove

    2.did you join properly as the image is saying you arent hosting it anymore

    Gwendoline, after trying the Canon ip4000 USA and found the CD/DVD printer is not made in the good ol' USA I attempted to return it. They wanted a 30% re-stocking fee, all new Canon cartridges and of course shipping. I would end up paying them to take it back so I decided to keep it with my other 3 Canon printers. I did buy a new Epson R220 that prints on Cd/DVD and it works perfectly. I never dreamed that different countries would make them differently, I guess that I learned a lesson.

    Thanks for getting me on the right track on printing directly to CD/DVD's.

    gwendoline, thanks for the tip I am the one that gave you the
    http://www.cdcovers.cc website. I have been using it for a couple of years. I love it.
    I am using the Ty-Yuden 1x8 inkjet printable DVDs and they are working PERFECTLY on my equipment. The Ty-Yudens work the best of any blank media I have ever used.
    Buenos Dias

    Tashacat the USA Canon IP 4000 you have is easily enabled to print on dvd's all you need is the tray about $20.00 off Ebay and push a few buttons on the front of the printer.I have both the IP3000 and IP4000 enabled to print disc.

    Would it be Canon IP4000 CD tray?
    That is great news.

    Yes paiger651, what kind of software do you use to print them?
    I tried on Ebay with several different phrases but I had no luck.
    I have the IP4000 and the IP6000 and the front is the same on both of the printers.
