i recently bought an epson 200, great printer any everything, but can anyone please tell me how i can print on a whole cd/ or dvd, meaning the inner circle of the disc. i can print on it great, but just that inner circle ring i cant get to print, which i want to do. if anyone can help me, it would be gladly appreciated! do i have to turn of a feature or something on the printer and if this question has been answered already, i apologize, but i looked for a while. Oh yeah and if another software program will do the trick please let me know, thanks in advance, david. Again just the inner circle part of the disc.

Hi:
I use full face (includes the hub) Verbatim white faced injet dvd's. To print down onto the hub using the Epson Print CD program all you have to do is go to FILE then INNER/OUTER DIAMETER SETTINGS.
Change the inner setting to 20mm and the outer setting to 120mm. These are the extreme settings. If you want a very slight border on the outside diameter change it to 116mm. Good luck. Regards...

I leave my inner diameter setting to 23mm seems to work good.
With a smaller diameter I got alot of ink on the inner plastic part.
My 2 cents

After you import the picture to the lay-out, on the left side column, click on the yellow DVD icon then you can change/adjust the DVD size and THE INNER RING SIZE.
here what I set:
Inner ring: 23 mm.
DVD zise: 118 mm.

What do you mean full face ? do you meant print up to the hub (not upto stack ring) ?
There are many brand of DVD that you can print up to the hub (full face ?) and that depend on personal reference.
For me, to print upto the hub (full face) i used:
- Prodisk -R 4X, injet white.
- Prodisk +R 8X, injet white.

I bought Prodisc silver (inkjet) the print area is print up to the stack-ring (and the white print upto the hub), or may be I bought the wrong silver one. If you run across a silver injet print to the hub (not stack-ring) please get me the link.
Thanks you.

I am going to purchase the epson r200 printer, first question is I found replacement ink for about 35. for all 6 cartridges, is that a good price and if not where can I get for a cheaper price. I just ordered, Ridata Branded G04 DVD-R 4X Premium Grade media, will I be able to print on top of these dvd's with my printer...Thnaks, Steve

Thats a pretty good price, $6. each. Those blanks you bought may not work. They have to say top printable, either white or silver matt finish.

Whatis a good blank dvd -r with the same quality as Ridata Branded G04 DVD-R 4X Premium Grade that I can print on? Also, is there a build in fan inside the printer so the ink dries quicker, or do I need to just be careful of smearing? Thanks again

Can't answer the fan question, I don't have that printer. Ritek makes a grade A white top printable blank. Check here at this site.
http://www.meritline.com.
You can check ink prices there also.

i have the epson r200 and and am willing to help you out with anything you want to know, oh and the discs dry instantly as long as you dont print on the plastic around the outside or inside which can easily be whiped away, the deal that you have for 35 for inks assuming that its dollers isa good one

Prodisc, I used both Prodisc and Ritek in paralell they are same result.
>Also, is there a build in fan inside the printer so >the ink dries quicker, or do I need to just be >careful of smearing? Thanks again
No fan nessessary, I never have problem with smearing. After it print, just dont touch the surface for couple minute you will be OK.
> first question is I found replacement ink for about 35. for all 6 cartridges, is that a good price and if not where can I get for a cheaper price
I paid $4.5+Tax per cartriges at computer show.
I changed the cartridges after print more than 150 CD&DVD covers. $35 for more than 150 CD/DVD is not bad.

I use mainly Prodisc -R white printables in either 4X or 8X. The ones I have been getting lately from http://www.supermediastore.com have had MCC media codes, which is good. I haven't had one coaster yet with these. The Prodisc S03 are pretty good, but the MCC are better. For the ocaisional DVD that I don't want hub printing I use Ritek G04 printables. I have been getting excellent prints on both the Ritek and Prodisc. I generally set the o.d. to 119 mm and the i.d. to 22 mm on the prodisc and the i.d. to 42 mm on the Ritek. I usually get a little overprint around the edges, but this easily wipes off.
