DVD+R DL printable

[pennyman]

Have someone tried to print cover onto Verbatim DVD+R DL printable? Any problems?

[lfcrule1972]

So far I have only printed on full face DVD-R's with no issues whatsoever, is there supposed to be one for DVD+R DL's then ?

[Grain]

Like LFC says, I can't see there being any difference in printing DL's or SL's.

[pennyman]

It was not referred to DL or SL.

I know that using adesive labels on DVD can generate problems. So I was wondering if printing on DVD could be not adviceble.

[Grain]

Your right pennyman, labels cause a lot of problems and should be avoided. Printing onto a a printable disc is a very good option, and won't negatively impact a dvd. I personally use an Epson R200, and highly recommend this inexpensive printer.

[pennyman]

Just what I hope to hear. I have the same printer! So Which are the margins You use and do you use photo or best photo?

[Grain]

For TYG02 & TYG03's full face printables I use 25mm inner, and 117mm outer. If you have some media your unsure of, use a ruler, measure the inner and outer, I subtract a mm from the outer measurement, and add a mm to the inner to prevent it printing off the disc. I have it set at best photo if I remember right.

and select Photo enhance as well - I have the same printer as you guys and the results are excellent, best printer I have ever owned.

How cheap are you finding ink carts for LFC? The best I've found is $45 CAD for a set, not that cheap.

This is where I get mine Grain - 12 carts for ?7.71 !!! Wow something seems to be cheaper here than over there

[Grain]

Fuck me that's a good price. Thanks LFC!

[lfcrule1972]

Your welcome mate - if you don't mind I will pass up your kind offer of a shag tho !!

[pennyman]

Have a look at www.mediaprostore.com

Should be cheaper...

[Grain]

No, I don't mind

Hey Grain, Just went and bought an Epson R200. Exceptional printer and it does a fantastic job on cd-dvd printing as well. Had an Epson C84 but after reading these posts had to buy the R200. Glad I did.......

 

How you been doing anyways, I haven't been on much, lots of crap happening here with work and contract talks going on, right now working to rule so don't know how long that will continue before it might escalate toa full strike.

[Grain]

Hey Kevdriver, how's the Honda? You'll like the Epson, but it looks like we should be ordering our ink from th UK, it's about an 1/8 our price there. Even with shipping it will be way cheaper. Heard about your contract woes on the news, hopefully you get a new one soon, no one likes a strike, except the media.

[lfcrule1972]

I bet Kev wishes that oil was as cheap as UK ink for the Epson !!! ha ha

 

I still can't believe that I can always get 6 carts for ?7.71 and most of the time its buy one get one free as well so thats 12 for ?7.71. Are you shipping them from England then Grain ? PM me mate.....

[zacoz]

At that price we'll all want to get them shipped from the UK (!)

When I want to print a label on a cd or dvd using my Epson Photo R200, I use a program called Acousta CD/DVD label program, and it supports the direct cd/dvd printing. I use it when I want a label designed with a miniumum of fuss. Here is a link if anyone wants to try it:
