I’ve decided that it would be easier to simply design a DVD face in Photoshop but have wasted a lot of DVDs trying to getting it right. It works ok but meant a lot of re-positioning of the background image to get it to look ok.

I finally took the time to figure it out. It always ended up off center, too big, too small, or even completely off the disc. The problem is that the CD / DVD printing software that comes with Epson printers is hokey (at best), and I’ve never been able to figure out how to print directly to the DVD from within Adobe Photoshop.

I am incredibly happy with the results and they look very professional. That I print directly to with my Epson Artisan printer.
