Im used to getting my dvd labels on places like cdcovers.cc but sometimes the pictures are very blurry afterwards and dont look very good. So I thought that scanning my own dvd labels straight from the dvd would look good. However, I cant find any settings that do. They all turn out pretty bad. I was wondering what you guys do to get good picture quality out of these things.
what kind of scanner do u have? you have to change the DPI resolution higher to get better pics, it should be somwhere in the software u use for the scanner. what kind of printer do u have? PHOTO? because i don't have time to scan so i use the ones from the internet, and even when they don't look good on the screen the picture still comes better looking then original
I have a hp psc 1610 all in one. Ive bumped the dpi all the way up to 2400 and still it looks like crap. Ive done 300 and 600 too and they look bad aswell. I dont understand whats up with them. And I use the epson Print Cd program to print my dvds because it seems to give me good image quality usually but when it looks bad on the computer, it usually looks kinda bad on the dvd as well. Do you recommend a better program?
R u printing them on templetes? thats wierd if u dont see a huge difference when having the DPI at 300-600 to 2400
Im printing the label on my Verbatim printable dvds. Do you have aim or msn so we can do this faster?
nope sorry, i have the same verbs too, and i do get them from that website u said earlier, and all of them have came out great, using epson print cd, with epson R220 photo printer is ur HP a photo printer? did ur printer come with software for printing on dvds
Yes it is. Here Ill give you the options I have when I scan it. I have: auto correct photos resize (in inches, cm, points, or pixels,) Lighten/darken sharpen color adjustment resolution I have all of those options to configure and scan with. What should I do? And for example Memoirs of a geisha on cdcovers.cc looks bad. Check it out and youll see what i mean btw i have an epson r220 also
quote: btw i have an epson r220 also, okay if r u using that to print the dvds if so do u select best photo in the preferences just looked at that pic, the printer should be able to smooth out that pic and make it look better
no i dont. That might help. But if the picture I download looks crapy, how will best photo change anything because the best the photo can be is how it is when i first downloaded it right?
when u hit the print button in epson cd prog, the print box comes up, then u wanna hit Manual print and then the epson print box comes up and u select PROPERTIES and then change it to best photo didn't know if u knew how 2 do this trust my it will look better, and sorry i dont know why actually i think because when u change it to best photo then it prints at 1440DPI as oppose to normal prints at 300DPI, big difference
ok ill try it out. Up to date ive not been using it and when I print out dvds that use images like the one you saw of Memoirs of a Geisha, it looked about that bad so I was just seeing how I could do it myself. Ill get back to you on it too if thats ok?
yes, post back for results, i believe it would look bad if u left it on the normal printing setting also i have downloading worse looking pics then that and all of them have come out looking great
i use arcsoft photoimpression 5 to upload my dvd with an hp all in one 2610xi . i click on preview first then i scan it to my documents my pictures. i then open epson print cd then look for the picture.then i print it with my epson r220. i use 200 dpi .you probably can raise the dpi.it comes out a little off but its acceptable. very important to click on preview then scan to get the picture to scan to the right size
this is going to sound really stupid, but I had it on best photo the whole time lol. I went to print out a dvd today and did the manual print like you said and that was the preset option.
@ flyinonic, what is the color mode set at? if is set at the epson standard try vivid, try the same settings as mine, also r u using Epson ink or a generic brand? and i will try and scan one that i did with a bad picture to show u
When you scan do you keep original size and send it to my pictures and then pull it out with the epson Cd? Chris
I'd like to but in..... I scan most of my DVDs and then put them through a Adobe Photo Elements program and fine tune it ..... usually all I have to do it use the Blurr effect and you'll be surprise how much better the scan looks. I also download some from the internet and touch them up with the Elemnts or other photo printing programs and I get results like this: these are on Taiyo Yuden printables. not bad huh? bottom one is on the silver printables that have a hologram look to them. cool huh? printed on the Epson R320
I am using the epson brand right now, but a question with that. Is ridisc ink any worse than the epson ink? So back to the question, ChrisC Ive tried leaving it the same size and importing it in and ive tried to make it a bigger size and then import it in, no difference. And IHoe those do look good. Id like to get them to look that good lol.
