Printing on dvd with Epson 300r question

I'm having a little trouble printing dvd's. I've read everyone's suggestions and still can't get it quite right. I have the epson 300r and ty hub printables. I've got it down to where it prints on the entire disc and not onto the tray. However, it still goes a little off the printable area into the silver/clear outer edge of the disc and the clear inner ring of the disc. Overall, it looks good but I'm wondering if this will somehow ruin the dvd? Or is it pretty much impossible to print it perfectly on just the printable part of the disc?

 

I have the inner set at 22mm and the outer set at 119mm. The ink goes a tiny bit into the silver/clear outer edge and clear inner ring of the disc. I'm wondering if this will ruin the dvd.

 

I just bought the same exact printer. Did not come w/ ink though.

Just ordered ink online. Next week will try it out.

So I'll be having questions myself on settings too.

What is GOOD media to buy ? I know TY's & Verbatims are best, but what work well w/ this printer ?

I'm looking for full face coverage on disk.

When media description says FULL HUB or HUB PRINTABLE,
does that mean FULL FACE ?

 

I think I just found out.......

I did get a good deal........

$59.00, refurbished.

 

I increased the inner to 23 but I guess I didn't line up the arrows perfectly and a tiny bit of ink got printed on the upper edge and a white sliver is showing on the lower edge of the disc and hub. see this what annoys me. why should the success of printing a dvd come down to me lining up arrows? i know it sounds stupid, but I was off by a a tiny hair and the disc didn't come out the way I wanted. I might just go back to inner 22 cuz then at least the full disc will be printed on with no white showing. I hope the ink on the outer edges doesn't ruin the dvds.

are you using shinny, or white inkjet printables ?

 

White inkjet hub printables by Taiyo Yuden.

 

How bout using these w/ the Epson R300 ?

Their full hub printable , no stack ring.

Supposedly the Verbatim printing surface is better than the TY's.

I've had much success using Verb's in the past(never used printable).

Much cheaper than TY's too.

Also what would the settings be ?

22 inner 119 outer prints on the entire disc but a little ink goes onto the then entire outer edge of the disc. 23 inner 119 outer is the correct measurements but it only works if the disc is lined up 100% perfectly. I tried it a couple times and was off by a hair and there was a white sliver of unprinted area on the dvd along with some ink on the outer edge of the opposite side of the disc.

 

Also you can buy the ink from http://private.abacus24-7.com for all 6 cartridges delivered USPS for $21.00

 

@ chris

I ordered my ink from Abacus Ink.......total w/ shipping came out to

$20.76.

I was looking on Eb*y & they have a bunch of different Abacus stores

Abacus Ink, Abacus 24-7 , AbacusFree , different prices,

what's up with that ??

There all located in Phoenix,AZ. too ?

 

Okay got my 50 pack of Verbatim Inkjet Printables, No Stack Ring also.

This discs look pretty sweet. Just put one into my Plextor Writer &

It recognized it as MCC Media, Is that good ?


these are the discs I got..........

Also what would be the settings for this disc, using the Epson R300 ?

Also, before I make a backup, should I print onto the disc first ?

Or backup, then print onto disc after ?

 

@binkie

Thanks, you've been really helpful, on this subject.

You mean after printing onto disk, just feed a regular sheet of paper thru printer ?

 

Okay got my printer , ink, & Verbatim full hub printables.

I haven't printed yet but,When playing w / the settings.

I can't get the image to fill the whole disc, in adjusting image settings ?

I download my images from.......cdcovers.cc.

Some images don't fill the whole disc cover in the setting option.

Is there a way to stretch image, to fill the whole cover of disc ??

Like I was able to do before using media face4 ?
