Canon Pixma ip4000 CD printing template
I have now bought my Canon Pixma ip4000 printer.WOW!! The template details
for printing DVDs with Nero Cover Designer, posted by S.V. Groeneveld, are spot on. (re-copied below)Many, many thanks. (Sorry all you folks in the States where CD / DVD printing is not an option) A4 colour prints are fantastic. Like my older Canon S450 printer, if the print head does ever fail, it is so easy to replace and not that expensive if you shop around. It does not require a new machine as per Epson; and ink, especially if bought in bulk, means minimal costs. Duplex printing works likea dream.A most recommenended machine.

So far I have been printing separate labels using the Nero Cover Designer software.

Also, is there any way of using the Canon software to print all the way to the hub, using suitable full face printable discs? The Canon software I have seen demonstrated leaves a large diameter non-printed area in the middle. The IP4000 is an excellent printer, and it prints on CD's flawlessly using Nero Cover Designer... (I didn't like Canon's own CD printing software either). Just make sure you use the right (Canon) ink, and special *printable* discs. I'll repeat what I posted a month ago. As you see the hole diameter is configurable in step 6 of creating the template, so that answers all of your questions... Create the new template: 1) In Nero Cover Designer goto File - Paper Stocks 2) In the list select 'User-defined Stocks' and press the 'Add Stock' button 3) Give the new stock a nice name, eg. "CD-Tray PIXMA 4000" 4) Set width = 131.0mm, height = 238.7mm (got these from Printer Preferences dialog) 5) Press the 'Add Item' button and select 'Label' 6) Set outer radius = 59.0mm, inner radius = 22.0mm (or 11.0mm for a small hole in the middle) 7) Set position X = 6.5mm, Y = 87.0mm Print onto disc: 1) In Nero Cover Designer goto File - New and select any disc template (this is not the one created above) 2) Select the tab "Disk 1" 3) Choose your freshly created paper format from the drop-down box on top 4) Now paint your cover... 5) Goto File - Print 6) On tab 'Elements' unselect the things you don't want 7) On tab 'General' press the 'Setup' button, and choose PIXMA 4000 'Properties' 8) On tab 'Main', set Media type to "Printable disc (recommended)" (this will also select "Disc tray" as paper source) 9) On tab 'Page Setup', set Page size to "CD-R tray B" 10) OK, OK, OK |

Like my older Canon S450 printer, if the print head does ever fail, it is so easy to replace and not that expensive if you shop around. That IS a question...when my i550 died, i ask around and new head came 85% of the price of new ip4000...definitely not worthed.

BTW..did you consider using Surething? It's far better than Cover designer, and i don't need to mention original Canon label print... if you do choose it , template is he http://sleeperman.topcities.com Happy New Year, John B. "S.V.
