Photoshop “Tray B” CD-R template

I trawled the web last night looking for a Photoshop template for printing on to CDs using the standard “Tray B” type tray that you slot into your printer. You’d think the web would be littered with them wouldn’t you?

Maybe I wasn’t searching hard enough but all I could find were templates for CD labelling apps. There’s plenty of CD templates out there but I couldn’t find a “Tray B” template that positions the CD in the right place.

Anyway, in the end I knocked one up myself so here it is for anyone that might find it useful:

It works great for me in Mac Photoshop CS2 printing to a Canon Pixma iP5000 - YMMV. Note to Mac users - the file is set to be a Stationary Pad so when you open it, you’ll automatically open a copy instead in a true template-stylee. Uncheck ‘Stationary Pad’ in the Finder’s Get Info box if this bothers you.
