❏ Use only CD/DVD labelled as suitable for printing, for example "Printable on the label surface" or "Printable with
ink jet printers".
❏ Depending on the CD/DVD type, smearing may occur depending on the level of color saturation.
❏ Moisture on the printable surface may cause smearing.
❏ If the CD/DVD tray or the internal transparent compartment are accidentally printed on, immediately wipe off
the ink.
❏ Reprinting on the same CD/DVD may not improve the print quality.
❏ If you select CD/DVD Premium Surface as the Media Type setting in the printer driver and use a high quality
CD/DVD, you can create high quality CD/DVD labels.
❏ Make sure you let CDs and DVDs dry completely out of direct sunlight before using them or touching the printed
surface.
❏ If the printed surface is sticky even after it has dried, the color saturation level may be too high. In that case, lower
the level of the color saturation in Epson Print CD.
❏ If the ink smears, adjust the color saturation using Epson Print CD.
❏ Set the printable area to fit the printable area of the CD/DVD.
❏ For details on the printable area, see the following section.

❏ Only one CD or DVD can be printed at a time. When the Copies setting is set to 2 or more, remove each CD or
