There is no need for cutting squares, just the circle for the CD. He says it works fine if you just print the image of the tray on Photo Glossy paper, and the square holes just have to be white, and of course everything else must be black. I found a post from one person that indicated there is no need for the square holes nor the alum foil. The other thing is having the top totally black. but more to do with the sensitivity of the thickness of the tray. It seems to have not much to do with the square holes and the alum. I had already beveled the top of mine so I decided to try and bevel the bottom, since I have a real "C" tray I noticed that it is also beveled on the bottom. All he did was bevel the top side of his home made Tray.
Anyway, in those pages I found someone else that had a similar problem and I tried his fix because it sounded so simple. Most of it is 3 years old, but it finally gets up to Dec 2007. The Sad news is that forum you linked me to had 78 pages of posts. Grandad35.Thanks again for you unlimited knowlegde.
DVD J TRAY FOR CANON IP3000 PLUS
Search the thread - the templates may still be there plus lots of discussion on the tray building. Both worked OK, but I ended up getting some real trays - actually Canon USA was selling them for a brief period (before they realized that they weren't supposed to) and I was able to get two of them. One was made from one of the thin CD/DVD cases the other one from some plastic sheeting (painted black) I had from my model railroading work. I just looked for the homemade trays, but I can't seem to find them right now. I think you may actually find some of my posts on that thread that talk about the problems I had and the fixes. The placement of the reflectors was very critical. I followed the templates that some member provided from a real Canon tray. After the firmware change that allowed for CD/DVD printing on the ip4000/ip5000 printers, I was able to build at least two "B" type trays that eventually worked.
I was a member of the CD/DVD Tray thread on Steve's Digicam forum that Grandad35 linked to - joined it on Dec 29, 2004.
