How can I print a dvd

[jaymack]

I've printed a lot of dvd's (from my feature films) on Epson, and it was easy. Now I've sort of graduated to Canon, I noticed that Canon has different colors, etc, which I don't want. I want titles on a printable white dvd.

How do I do it. Or can I do it?

I don't want to use pre-made formats, just a simple blank white DVD with no format, just plain white DVD that I can put titles as I want them. I've used that for years on my old Epson, now gone unfortunately.

To print on your DVD, please open My Image Garden and follow these steps:

 7.  Click Print.

 8.  Make any necessary adjustments and then click Print to print the label on the DVD.
