I have the latest NERO and it came with design cover. I am trying to get a grip on what paper types to use. It came with pressit samples, but I could NOT get them to work with the printer (lexmarkZ43).

The print was WAY off to one side. I even did the printer calibation...

Does anyone suggest a decent priced paper that might be compadable with the software I have. It shows like 50 different paper stocks to choos from...

I am only really interested in printing cd lables.... NO COVERS. I use photo paper for that and then cut them to fit the case. Its the darn centering on cd lables that I am having some isues with......


Thanks

I don't print labels any more, but when I did print them, the only one I used was Neato's CD Labels. That was only because the label printing software and accessories came with my old CDwriter (HP 8210i). My printer was the Lexmark Z11 at the time.

I printed the labels to an accurate fit.

Use Easy cd creator.
In the setup choose Pressit type labels.
I think you will find all programs will be slightly offset if you use generic labels instead of real pressit labels.
If you use generic ones, take it into easy cd creator label creator and you can resize it exactly as you want it. The difference with this label creator over some others is you can ovelap the actual template, so by trial and error you can find out how best your printer works with them.
I use generic labels, photo quality and always slightly overlap by about 2-3mm all the way around. This works perfectly 95% of the time. Sometimes you may need to adjust the source material.
