Printing DVD Case inserts

I'll let you know for sure in a few weeks once I'm runing abacus ink, and of course epson will tell you not to use any other ink besides theirs. They make a KILLING of the ink.

 

Oh I know. Its like Gas. They got ya. You get the printer and they make their money in the Ink that makes it work. I just know a few people that specialize in repairing Ink Jet and Laser printers and they have always told me that generic toner is ok, but not to use generic ink. Mainly because the liquid consistancy may be different and print output may not be what is desired.

 

I use the Abacus generic inks, and they are fantastic! Only ink I buy now. Been using it about a year, with no problems.

I can print the full dvd covers, on letter size paper, with the Epson, using Memorex template, that's in their software (included with Memorex labels). I quit using their labels a good while back. Printing the full cover is another reason I like the Epson so much. My HP cuts off about 1/4" of the cover. I use glossy photo paper, and let them dry overnight.

 

I just wanted to say thank you to those that pointed me in the right direction... I love my new r220...
I only have one concern, but when I go out and buy new media, I'll just get different ones.. I got print to center discs, and I couldn't get the epson to print to center, it justs prints the "normal" way. Anyone know if I can make my printer print to center??

Open the Epson Print CD software. See the line of icons on the left side? There should be a yellow or gold colored one. It's the "Set Inner/Outer Diameter" icon. Click on it.
Click on "Custom CD"
Outer Diameter - 118mm for all discs.
Inner Diameter - 18-20mm for "Print to Center" discs.
Inner Diameter - 33mm for "Print to Hub" discs.
Click on "OK", and you're good to go.
Notice............as you change the Inner Diameter setting, the small circle in the middle of the template, changes sizes.
The Inner Diameter may vary, depending on the brand discs you're using.
Good luck! Let us know how it goes?

 

Thank you so much, it turned out great. Thanks for all of your help.

 

You're welcome!
Glad you're happy with it now........... )

 

I just bought my Epson R220 for $66 dollars with shipping and i want to buy some labels to cover my non printable media but im not sure what size to buy here are my options.

Full Face 4.69"
Full Face 4.625"
Full Face 4.66"

What size should i buy or does it not really matter?

 

I would HIGHLY recommend NOT using adhesive labels. Get some inkjet printable discs! Here is a link for the BEST inkjet printable media at the BEST price:

thx yea i plan on doing that but i want all my discs to have labels on them and im not gonna throw away my non inkjet printable ones. so basically what im saying is i need some labels to cover my discs that are not injet printable and buy injet printable for now on.

 

I agree with teflonmyk.
Don't use adhesive labels! You'll be sorry!
Some players have problems playing dvds with labels stuck on them. After awhile, the labels will start to come unstuck, and curl at the edges. This can damage your player.
Sure, the non-printable discs aren't as nice looking as the printed ones, but you're really [bold]much better off[/bold] to stay away from labels.

 

thx i guess i will just start printing on injet printable media for now on. should i get value line or regular discs?

 

See the link in teflonmyk's post above.............

 

i saw the link and it looks great thanks for posting it teflonmyk, im just curious to what value line means?
