Copy Onto CDs/DVDs

You can copy a printed photo, illustration, document, or CD/DVD label design directly onto an ink jet-printable 12-cm CD or DVD for a custom look. You can also check your design on plain paper first to see how the label will appear.

Note:
If you’re copying onto discs where the printable area extends to within 0.16 inch (4 mm) of the edge of the center hole, you may need to adjust the Inner setting on the Epson Stylus Photo RX595 Series control panel. See step 11 below.
