Printing DVDs with Photoshop CS using Epson R300 Printer

The printer driver has a CD selection as the page size. All you need to do is create a circle of the appropriete size and fill it. When you go to print, choose the options and paper size CD!
Smearless? Good enough to pack and handle after 4 hours. DM

Problem: Printing DVDs with Photoshop CS using Epson R300 Printer
I am considering buying an Epson R300 printer especially for printing to DVDs.

Is there a Photoshop CS template to use for the R300?

What settings do I use to print from Photoshop CS to the DVD?
The R300 manual does not mention a plug-in for CS. So where do you get the plug-in since no mention of it is on the Epson website?

How smearless is the DVD after it dries for over 24 hours?
Thank you for the feedback.

Thank you for the feedback. Where did you get the Photoshop CS plug-in?

It’s not a plugin John. It’s a printing paper selection for the printer. Just like A4 and A5 or Letter size.

I just bought an R300 today for the same reason. The printer comes with a program for designing the DVD art. It works pretty well. The print quality is awesome (considering it is printing on a matte surface).

The paper size it defaults the printer to is A4 so I guess you could put a sheet od A4 paper in the printer and print out a sample, then scan the paper and import in to PS to create your own template. Haven’t tried it yet.

No, you don’t need any template for Photoshop or any program *but* you will need the Labeler supports whatever printer you are going to use. Epson includes their own CD Label Printing program (for Epson Stylus Photo 900 I have at least) or you can use third party program like SureThing (I use this) and it has template for many CD Printers.

You don’t want to use Photoshop to print CD label, so no setting needed. If you really want to (mess with it) then just print like you print on regular paper would do.

Of course it doesn’t because it isn’t the job of Photoshop.

No, you will need a special Inkjet Printable DVD or CD, and the ink should dry right away just like you print on regular paper. If you use wrong type (like Thermal printable then it will never dry, si make sure to get Inkjet Prinable DVD)

So, if the R300 has built-in option to print CD/DVD directly like Epson 900 does, then it should come with software and option to Print CD/DVD. I have printed nearly thousand DVD/CD with Epson Stylus Photo 900 here, and love it.
