Disc Printing

[MikeyBK]

I expanded the outside diameter a touch as well so that it printed closer to the edge of the disc and looked a little neater.

That's what i did as well.

I dont know if the measurement will vary with diffrent makes of media

Yes the measurements vary, at least between the Maxell full hub and Verbatim full hub +R flavored discs.

Costco carries TDK's if my memory serves me correct, and they are right up there with Memorex in my book of media to avoid.

i would have done the same with my 300 if i didnt throw it on top of my computer stand.
supermedia store has TY's for
$43.00 shipped no tax for 8x hub printables for 100\
$76.00 shipped no tax for 8x hub pritables for 200 ($38.00/100)
those prices are for -R's

i bought 8x in case i was in a hurry.
you can also buy 4x media even cheaper.
keep in mind its recommended to always burn 4x anyways.
+r's are $60.00/100 $118/200 those get pricey (w/o shipping)
my diameters are set at 20 and 119 and it prints perfect

I have the Epson 200R which is same as 220 just produced for a different country. Verbatims from Sam's Club are not full hub. I use SureThing label software and it has different templates so it is no problem. I usually scan the disc in my scanner and import it into SureThing which allows you to fine tune the image to fit disc. I also use a continuous ink system so ink is cheap. Epson will almost give the printers away to sell the ink. Ink cartridges that come with printer do not have as much ink as replacements and a set of Epson cartridges cost as much or more than printer if printer is on sale.

Supermedia store has:

Taiyo Yuden White Inkjet Hub Printable 8X DVD-R Media in Tape Wrap - Free Ground Shipping

Product Code: DVD01X0166
Manufacturer: Taiyo Yuden - Made In Japan
Media ID: TYG02
Mfr part #: DVD-R47WPP600SK

I like the fact that they give the media code.

Are the Micro Center Verbatims full label?

[always]

from the link you provided
the answer is NO.
Those are not Hub or full face printable dvds
the surface is printable but not hub printable also which makes a big difference.
if your going to print dvd get hub pritable.
go to supermedia store and just look around at the different dvd's and the differences.

cheap and good i dont ever think really meat(sorry just got done eating a ribeye of course what is cheap to might not be to others but i know where you are coming from.
umm let me lookey for a sec
hub printables
look at these

http://www.supermediastore.com/ritek-ridata-8x-dvd-r-white-inkjet-printable.html#description

29.00/100 without shipping
60/200 with shipping
these are -R's(since they are least expensive and better acceptablitly with standalones).
if your going to get the 100 pack might just look at the TY's sice they include shipping. and it would bring a good media price close to great media price after you add shipping. just a thought.
PS ink is real cheap too if you are going to have to pay for the extra shipping. oops nevermind complete inks for the epson are 16.50 plus free shipping. wonder if each one is worth $3.00 at office max or depot whichever is offereing that in store credit for an empty ink jet cartridge.
good luck

I need +R's, preferably Verbatim or similar.
