There is a huge difference between "printable media" I am talking about, and paper stickers designed to slowly decay your CDs. Abandoned those years ago.

Hi, Fred!

It is not a problem to print the existing image somewhere on a CD/DVD - I use a utility I got with my printer. But the problem is that the existing rectangle color pattern is not suitable for printing on a CD/DVD, in order to be scanned back and used for profiling, because:
  • If you stretch it to fit the circle, you will be missing the patches in the middle, due to the CD hole
  • If you shrink it to fit somewhere in the rim, so all the color patches would be visible - they get too small.

Hence, there should be a round pattern that would print the color patches all around the rim.

Hi!

This is more an idea for a feature upgrade, rather than a question:

I need to make a profile for a printable DVD. The problem is printing a square printer target image onto a round DVD, that strangely enough even has a hole in the middle... If I scale it down to fit it somewhere on the rim, it gets far too small and color patches bleed one into another.

Just a though: is there a way (or will Wink) to add a special round-with-a-hole-in-the-middle printer target image, especially for profiling printable CDs/DVDs?

BTW, great program.

Regards,
Arsen
