Re: "Professional" Graphics Programs

Hi Paul,

Firstly, I'm not sure what she/he's talking about.  PageMaker and Quark are 
layout programs and unless you're using a layout program to create a CD 
label (why not use something like CD Stomper), I can't imagine that that 
would pertain.  You can add registration (or crop marks) using PSP 
7.0.  I'm not sure about the earlier versions but I suspect so.  Try 
looking up crop marks.

This sounds as though your printer is using a MAC.  In this case you may 
want to use one of the drawing programs that  will export in an "AI EPS" 
format which is reliably readable by the MACs.
