White or Silver?

Yep. Just printed my first dvd. The borders were slightly off. Probably not even enough for the lay person to notice, but I noticed. I'm sure with practice I will get it down. Wow! This beats labels hands down! I can't believe I haven't come across this until now. I kinda needed a new photo/dvd printer anyway so this was a perfect buy for me. Thanks again for everyone's input.

If I remember correctly I think Chewy posted a cheaper ink that is compatible with the epson hopefully he will see this and chime in

lol
I would have blamed it on one of the droids

I'm still pretty p!$$3d at Epson for that BS programming in their printers that tells you you're out of ink when you still have plenty, but they're paying off and no one else makes a printer that will do direct-to-disk at a comparable price.

[Huskerfan]

Does that mean I should let it go a while longer even tho it's telling me to replace cartridges?

[copyless]

I am not sure if they still do it or not, but I have owned several Epson printers and they would give you a low ink warning and then an out of ink warning. I would always wait for the, out of ink warning, before replacing.

[Steve83]

I keep printing until I get streaks, then change the cartridge & reprint that page. It only costs you a piece of paper that way. I can usually get 50-100 pages after the FIRST warning.

[copyless]

That works too, but a lot of times I am printing photos so I change the cartridges before I start to print them. But if I am only printing other misc. then I wait.

[Huskerfan]

Believe it or not I read the manual. But I have a question. I assume the inner diameter settings refers to whether or not it will print the center ring if there is an image that runs all the way to the middle? If so, has anyone figured out a custom setting that would work for backing up commercial made DVD's? so the inner circle prints?

edit: Nevermind. Looks like the tracer moves when you adjust the settings so you can tell where the inner circle ends up. The answer is that you should move it all the way to the smallest it will go which is about 18 mm.

[Steve83]

Actually, you should measure the printable area on your blanks, and set the area in the program for a slight overprint. Printing all the way to 18mm on a 43mm (non-hub) disk is a waste of ink, just like on a 20mm disk. Round the inner dia. down; the outer up.
