I have never seen the finished product with either the silver or white topped. Which do you think offers the highest quality prints and has the longest lasting finish after it has been printed?

Also, is there something special you have to do before or after you print on to the cd. Thanks for any responses.

Well,

I've only used white full face printables,

Verbatim and TY mostly,

A lot depends on the resolution of the image that you are printing to the disc, as concerns quality.

I backed up my x files full set (Box) on 90+ discs, with verbatim super azo photo printables DVD+R X16 and the quality of the print is excellent.

I also know a few people who use the silver coloured printables and say the same for them.

To protect them from liquid etc, once their printed, a spray is applied to them like this one,

Once you get a decent printer ( I use a Canon Pixma ip 5000), that can print on disc's, just make sure the graphic/photo that your printing to the disc has a high resolution.

A bit of practice with the spraying technique and all should be fine.

I know some use Patricia Nomick's acrylic sealer which I believe you can get from Wal-Mart.

Maybe someone stateside can confirm this.
