Printing custom CD labels directly onto inkjet-printable discs using an Epson printer eliminates the need for sticky paper labels, which can peel off and damage disc drives. This is achieved using Epson Print CD Software, a dedicated tool provided by Epson to design text, import graphics, and align your print settings perfectly.
An easy, step-by-step guide walks through the preparation, design, and execution of printing custom labels. 1. Prepare Your Materials
Discs: Ensure you use inkjet-printable CDs, DVDs, or Blu-ray discs. Standard glossy or matte discs without an inkjet coating will cause ink to smear.
Tray: Locate the native Epson CD/DVD tray packaged with your printer. Do not use third-party trays, as they can cause alignment shifts or internal jams. 2. Design the Label in Epson Print CD
Launch the application via the Epson Software folder on your computer.
Set your Inner/Outer Diameter Settings from the File menu to match your 8-cm or 12-cm disc size.
Click the Background tool to import custom artwork, standard graphics, or a solid color fill.
Click the Text tool to layout album titles, dates, or tracklists. Drag the text boxes to move them, or use the handle indicators to curve text around the disc center. 3. Load the Printer
Place a single disc onto the center spindle of the tray with the white printable side facing up.
Open your printer cover or drop down the internal CD guide door.
Slide the CD tray straight into the designated slot until the white alignment arrows on the tray match the marks on the printer body. 4. Configure Settings and Print Printing on CDs and DVDs – Epson
