Re: [Gimp-user] printing on DVD

2007-07-20 Thread norman

  The printer I have is said to be capable of printing on a CD or DVD. I
  wondered if it were possible to prepare and print images using Gimp and,
  if so, how would one go about the task?
 
 I use OpenOffice.org Draw to do that (and GIMP for any actual image work). 
 Draw lets you arrange shapes (circles, in this case) so that nothing prints 
 outside the outer circle, and nothing prints in the inner circle.

Thank you for that very useful information.

Norman

no problem preparing the image/s, as to printing, hard to tell.  You
provide so much information...

Probably need to turn right at that corner.

How right you are. I think it may be possible to actually print from
Open Office or Turboprint the problem is getting the correct dimensions
and the image in the correct place on the page.

As an addendum I have found a paper setting in the print menu, CD 5in
and further reading indicates that this should print to the CD or DVD
avoiding the centre hole and the edge. I must find an old disc and try
it and report back.
