Adjusting the Print Density
If ink smears on your printed CDs or DVDs, you may need to adjust the color 
saturation or ink density. Disks from different manufacturers may absorb ink 
differently, so you may need to adjust the density for each type of disk. Follow

as necessary.

2. Start EPSON Print CD.

Print Color 
Correction 
(Windows) or Color Correction (Macintosh) setting lighter or 
darker as necessary.
You can print three density patterns on one disk. Each pattern is printed in a 
different location.
7. After the first pattern is printed, adjust the setting, then repeat steps 4 through 
6, selecting 
Second or Second Time to print the second pattern. 
8. If you want to try a third Color Correction setting, you can repeat steps 4 
through 6 again and select 
Third or Third Time.
9. Remove the CD or DVD and let it dry for at least 24 hours. Then check the 
saturation levels again.
You can also use the Brightness and Contrast settings in EPSON Print CD to 
adjust color saturation. See the EPSON Print CD on-screen Help for 
instructions.
 
						

							Printing a CD/DVD Without a Computer55
Printing a CD/DVD Without a Computer
You can use your Stylus Photo RX700 to print a colorful design directly onto a 
CD or DVD without using your computer. You can’t print text on your disk this 
way, but you can either scan a design and copy it onto the disk or use photos from 
your digital camera’s memory card. You can further enhance your CD/DVD 
collection by making your own jewel case inserts.
See the appropriate section below, depending on whether you want to scan an 
image (such as a drawing or 4 × 6-inch photo) or use an image from your digital 
camera’s memory card. 
Using a Printed Image
Follow these steps to copy a photo or other printed image onto your disk.
1. Place the design you want to copy on the scanner glass (see page 14). The 
image is automatically cropped and resized to fit on the disk.
2. Press the 
Copy button, then select CD Copy as the Copy Layout.
3. Select 
Text as the Quality setting. 
4. Press the x 
Color button to copy in color, or the x B&W button to copy in 
grayscale. Your disk is printed.
To cancel printing, press the y 
Stop button. 
5. When printing is complete, pull the tray out of the printer and let the disk dry 
fully before handling it.
Tip: 
If ink smears on your printed disks, you may need to adjust the ink density. Disks from 
different manufacturers absorb ink differently, so you may need to adjust the setting for 
each brand. After making basic print settings, press the Options button. Change the 
Copy Density as needed, then press OK.

If you wish to print with stronger colors, increase the Density setting. Disks from 
different manufacturers absorb ink differently, so increasing this setting may not 
produce satisfactory results with some brands.

printing position.

blank cardboard check disk included with 
your RX700 or an extra CD.
2. Press the

image, up to 5 mm in either direction. Press 
OK when done.
Note: 
The RX700 remembers your settings even after it has been turned off, so you do not
