I’ve shared this interest since, frankly, I’ve been buffaloed as well-crippled by the crappiness of my old Epson and unsure what to try next. With this growth and interest have come a lot of requests from readers for the best, cheapest, and most Mac-friendly printer for printing directly to ordinary index cards. Aren't these forums great? Everybody helps each other, and no-one loses their cool with old farts like me.The Hipster PDA has been extended and improved beyond my wildest dreams thanks to things like GTDTiddlyWiki, Douglas Johnston’s D IY Planner, and John Norris’s very creative templates. Again my thanks to the two guys who solved this problem for me so patiently. So you DO have to go to custom paper edit menus.

I would still add that although the hints I got here are helpful, the new software has many additional free downloads of image templates that are a bonus.Īlso the individual who says that the circle can be changed from the main menu should try dropping the hub size to 25mm - can't be done. Hence I was searching for new LS software and stumbled on the Acoustica 3.03. The only reason this subject came up was because I got a new CPU with an HP lightscribe optical disc drive. I have had mine for some time and have no need to upgrade.

However the mod was widely distributed on the Internet. This unit was sold in the UK with the disc printing capability included, but not in North America due to Epson patents or some such thing. however I'm surprised its still on sale as I thought they had brought out new (better?) models. I have a CANon ip3000 and, yes, its pretty good at printing disks.

I hope this is helpful to those who like to produce professional looking DVDs. Furthermore their seven day demo version is NOT a limited application, it is fully useable in every respect. What a bargain for such a great piece of software. And guess what? It is only 22 bucks to buy. I found it intuitive to use (right click with the mouse to explore some hidden options, like image darkening). It allows you to bring the center hole down to zip if you want to, and comes with an abundance of great artwork for Lightscribe as well as plain label use. In fact, this software supports just about every printer out there as well as all the different brands of labels (if you are brave enough to use labels). And, bonus, it supports the Canon printer tray, so I can now use it for my regular direct disk printing, as well as my limited use of Lightscribe disks. Well, what I stumbled across was one of the industry's best kept secrets - Acoustica 3.03 label maker. Having recently gotten a new Lightscribe drive, and some sale priced Memorex disks to use with it, I found that the HP software was buggy, so I did a search for something else to use. This results in a large white border and a substantial loss of the central artwork when using imported graphics (which I usually grab from the internet).

However the Canon software does not permit you to bring the image in close to the spindle hole (25 mm on the disks that I use). After successfully modding the Canon Pixma ip3000, I was thrilled with the results obtained, once I realised that you had to darken the image substantially to get good strong colour on the white disc surface.
