Thanks Bob and Thanks Sleeper man...printable C.Ds down here in New Zealand
are a bout twenty cents us each..(60cents N.Z) and when printed with the
simple program that comes with the Pixma 5000 come out looking absolutely
awesome..(particularly photos ect)
I can use Sure thing to print to Stomper Labels or The New Zealand Label
Varieties, and then use my Stomper machine to put them on and they come out
perfect almost..(But not as good as direct printing.)
Sleeper man I am almost half there with your Instructions to use Surething
and then change Printer Settings But need to Centre the Circle I think!!!
Another way is to use Surething or Nero.to design the Label and then export
it as a bitmap or jpeg..then use that as your Total background...
"Double Handling" I hear you say!!!But it sort of works..
Any more Ideas would be greatly appreciated as I love the CD Print function
on the Printer!!!
Thanks Gang!!
