Never waste good paper no matter what. I buy ink in bulk so it costs me $0.01 a page for each color dvd cover I print. I don't care about wasting a little ink.what kind of printer and photo paper do you use. That might be the issue. Epson Premium glossy paper prints text out great. Generic brands wont do as well.

I don't think it has the template for the precut photo paper I have. I am just going to get normal paper and a paper cutter so I don't have to worry about all these stupid templates where I am limited to only a few programs. Thankfully I didn't buy much so it really is no big deal. Thought it would be easier this way. Some went back to this method with the precut paper because they said cutting them yourself takes to much time but I really don't care if it gets rid of all these stupid templates I need and where it never lines up in some programs.
