Re: Can I make something circular?

Your printer will not print directly on CD/DVD media according to all the
documentation that I could find online from Canon's web site. It won't
handle the thickness of the media and if you attempt it you will probably
destroy the printer. The manual only specifies the following paper
capacity:


"Paper Compatibility


Plain paper, U.S. #10 envelopes; Canon Specialty Papers: Glossy Photo
Paper (4x6, letter), High Resolution Paper (letter), Matte Photo Paper
(letter), Photo Paper Plus Glossy (4x6, 5x7, letter), Photo Paper Plus
Double Sided (5x7, letter), Photo Paper Plus Semi Gloss (4x6, letter), Photo
Paper Pro (4x6, letter), Bubble Jet Transparencies (letter) "



If you print on it and damage the printer, there goes the warranty (if it is
still valid.)

There are alternatives which I have used until I actually got a printer that
will print on the discs. I have used Neato labels and program. The labels
stick well to the tops of the disc and they have a device that will place
the label properly on the disc. They used to have a free program that will
print on the labels and the setup is fairly easy. Since Neato has started
charging for Media Face 4 I still use MF2 which can be downloaded for free
here (next to last program on list) :

print to many other standard CD/DVD labels that you can buy at Staples,
Office Depot, etc.

I have Publisher 2000, and am trying 2007

I've been looking for a way to make a document in a circle, for example a
CD/DVD label. Template? I have label makers, like in my CD/DVD burning
program (Nero Essentials) but it only makes square ones, I guess to put
inside a disc case. Everything I see in Publisher is square.

I've been looking into printing labels directly on discs (my Canon pixma
ip6000D will do this, if I buy or make a disc holding tray, going by how
they look, seems like one from an old CD-ROM drive would work) I'm not
sure if it's worth all the trouble it seems to be, just to put fancy
graphics, etc on discs, but I bought some blank DVDs that say they are
Injet printable. Aside from printing on discs, I got to thinking about
printing on a circle- design anyway.

When I think about it, I can't remember anything that sets up inside
a circle (even if it's then cut out of the paper) except the graphic
programs like PhotoShop, Flash, etc where you can draw a circle to start,
but I don't think have an actual template (correct size) for a CD/.DVD.

I just like to know things lik this, well... just to know (LOL)
