Saving DVD labels in Easy-PhotoPrint

dandy — Thu, 24 Mar 2022 13:45:40 GMT

Just purchased TAS702 to print on printable DVD's. I have created a label in Easy-PhotoPrint Editor but am having trouble saving it. When I click save it says it is saving it but does not let me name the file and does not say where it is saving it. How do I know where to go to open the file later?

BTW, creating the label was fairly intuitive with Easy-PhotoPrint. Tried to use Photoshop, but it is way over my abilities.

The printer is TS702.

Win 10.

WiFi connection

There are no ERRORS. I think the problem is me understanding how this software program, "Canon Easy-PhotoPrint Editor", works.

Moderator Stephen, appreciate your quick initial response. Do you have any ideas about my "saving" problem or who should I contact for help?

Hi Dandy,

I'm a new contributor just like you and I have the same problem. I think Easy Photo Print Editor doesn't save the labels as discreet files, which is what you're looking for, and I am also. Instead, if you click "Save" on one of the labels you've made, then go to the Home Screen for Easy Photo Print Editor, then click on "Your Items" on the top horizontal bar, you should see the label you created and saved (important to note that you saved it). You will have to either create a new label or choose Copy & Edit when you open a previously saved label, to make sure that you don't overwrite an label that you created.

This system is a pain in the neck. Epson's system is much easier to use, allowing you to create your own templates and store them as files. Then open them and save them under a new name. I need to do this for my backups and creating and storing hundreds of labels of the next few years and searching for them in Easy Photo Print Editor will be a pain in the neck.

Anyway, I hope this helps and hopefully Canon will change how they do this for all of us.

Hi Dandy,

I've sort of found the answer but it may or may not be saveable as a file; I'm going to try it out when I get a chance. Try the following in Windows 10:

1. Open up Windows Explorer

2. Make sure the check mark is in the box to view "Hidden items"

3. Assuming that Easy Photo Print Editor was installed to the default location (I don't think it's possible not to), navigate to "C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Canon\Easy-PhotoPrint Editor\WorkData" where "USERNAME" is your Windows log in (local or Microsoft account)

4. You should see folders with random character names. If you've saved any labels as I've describe before, you should be able to open one of these folders and then open the "thumbnails" folder and click on the "WorkPage001.jpg" and see one of your saved labels.

Again, I'm not sure if they're transferable or can be saved: I have to test this out later, but I hope this helps.

Evidently it did not install to the location you specified. I can't even find Easy-PhotoPrintEditor when I search the entire C drive. Why would anyone build an App that won't SAVE in the normal manner?

Thanks, that does work, although not quite what I would expect. Guess it will have to do till something better comes along.

I use the same template each week with some modifications (Church DVD). Want to keep each weeks incase need to burn more DVD's later. Gonna be a lot of thumbnails over time to keep up with. I guess they will be in chronological order?

Hi Dandy,

Did you click the box in Windows Explorer so that you can view "Hidden items"? In Windows, this path "hidden" by default.

Actually, if you look in that folder and set it up via chronological order, newest on top, this will be the newest label you created. If you're using the same label and creating something new using it basically as a template, you can try the "Copy and Edit" option. Then edit and save the label. This will create a new label and it should be the most "recent" folder created.

What I'm going to try is to COPY this to a separate folder and see if I can move it back to the folder for later use, if necessary. If this works, then I'm going to move the copied folder into the trash, since I won't need it in the near future.

This is something that Canon should totally fix. If someone creates a Disc Image in easy photo print and saves it, then maybe they might want to put that saved disc image into another program like photoshop to do additional editing but Canon seems to want it to just be about Canon so here's the solution. I'm using windows 10 and i live in Australia so not sure if things might be different elsewhere.

Go to the address below/

In the blank space select your username folder.

C:\Users\ \AppData\Roaming\Canon\Easy-PhotoPrint Editor\WorkData

When you are in the workdata folder hover the cursor over each folder so that you get a creation date that matches when you saved your image. Inside that folder will be the thumbnail folder for the image that you saved.

Hope that helps.
