Hi, Thanks for the quick reply.
Please take a careful look at the pictures. I see that the alignment of the outer circle and inner circle aren't perfect, and I'll fix that when I have to print some CDs (I don't like wasting CDs and ink on this kind of thing, because the offset is small enough). But do you know where the small circle on the downside of the hole comes from? Probably the default hole, although I didn't see it on the preview. http://www.mvdvlist.nl/cd-printout-wrong.jpg Martin Cauligi, Raghothama S wrote: > Hi Martin, > The templates we posted are as recommendation and a starting point for > CD printing. > We spent a lot of time trying to generate the perfect templates, but as > you point out, > it is not absolutely centered.
