Surething Allignment

[bode]

I've just bought the hub ring label kit from Surething. I have major problems trying to align the labels during printing.

Any suggestions??

I found it to be a pain in the a__

A lot of trial and error seemed to get me close...I think I used plain paper then held it up to the template to get close, then did final adjustments w/ the real stock (dvd inserts in my case)...

what is / isn't it doing for you?

if you have Photoshop and a scanner, you can do like I do and use layers of varying tranparency to get the alignment just right with the bottom layer being the label page which you have scanned.

Then, when it is just right, delete the bottom layer (or make its opacity 0%) and print.

how much did you pay?.. I didnt realise they sold a hub ring kit. I use thier full face printiing and the alignment is easy.. virtually no adjustment needed.

I just printed out one hub at a time and adjusted the printer calibration until it was right. I only needed to do the whole procedure once.

Dont know if this would work, physically measure the cd label and its position on the sheet of paper and see if Surething has a template editor or creator whereby you can input the dimensions and position.

I've never used the software you've got, but thats what I do with CoverXp for my labels.

Merry Xmas,

The kits are not available in the UK, so I just bought them online at labelgear.com- based in the US.

My closest attempts came from the Photoshop scanning methods, but as it wasn't perfect and seemed like too much work I tried the label software.

Attempts using the software are 1cm too low and off centre.
