Heyive designed some business cards in photoshop that I want to print on PVC ID cards. However when I print, it prints on the PVC card in the shape of a CD/DVD. Im using the Epson L805. What settings do I change in photoshop for it to print in the shape of an ID?
Image file are rectangles there may be areas that have no pixel so those area will have no INK laid down. Therefore an image may appear to have some shape like round. But the image document is xPX wide yPX high which will be printed at the document Print DPI resolution. So the document prints size is xPX/DPI wide by yPX/dpi high.
If it is not printing size you want you may need to resize the document like change its Print resolution. You never statted what problems you were having all you stated was you are using a Epson L805. ???? What problem are you having ????
There are heaps of adhesive sheets at officeworks or clear adhesive acetate that you may be able to print on from a home use printer. Worth exploring ebay and the like as an alternative to transfer or offset typography and or art . Hope that helps.
I had the same Problem using the Epson L805. All you need is Epson Stylus Photo R270 Series Printer drivers. You should know that these Drivers only work on Windows 7 and 8 and on 86 bit and 32 Bit Only. When selecting the Printer dont selection Epson L805 but Epson Stylus Photo R270 Series, select the paper type first as CD/DVD and the Source as CD/DVD.
Epson L805 printer for quality photos printing, print cd /dvd cover, quality id cards without cutting or laminating. So easy to go.
Get creative and produce better-than-lab-quality can print borderless photos up to a4 size, and 1015 cm photos print in as little as 12 secs.
No ink wahala again, the printer comes with Ciss or ink feeder filled with 600ml of ink. The ciss is a device that will help you to print more than the usage of the regular cartridges and with it u can refill as many times as u want with 100ml of ink which is equivalent to 20 sets of regular cartridges.
Print directly onto suitable cds /dvds.
Print direct on id card with the printer with laminating or cutting of the pvc cards.
