Hey ive 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?

Hi...  every one 

Intially install driver for  Epson L 805 driver and then install

EpsonStylusPhotoR260driver

Then you can print using this driver for ID Card Printer ... in  Epson L805

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.

Hey,

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.

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.

I'm not sure what you mean by the shape of a DVD/CD as they are round, and Photoshop images are always rectangles (they can leave transparent or white areas to give the impression of printing round)

Can you show a picture of your print dialogue when you go to print and of the result when printed
