I just bought some printable media, Taiyo Yuden to be exact, and I am wonrdering how to print on them? Do I need a program or a special printer to get images on the DVD+Rs? I have a higher end printer and the media, now I assume I need some program. What do you guys use to print on your media??

I use:
1)Sharpie-unimportant backups
2)Full hub inkjet printable-excellent for dark covers
3)Shiny/reg hub inkjet printable-3d look,very awesome-great for lighter covers.
4)Lightscribe-3d look.
Depending on what covers I download from my favorite sites,determines how I label backups. A lot of gold in the label,I'll use the lightscribes. I got a pic of all 4 of them in my user profile page.
If you get a chance,check out a staple's store. They run specials on the Epson R series printers. Maybe even get lucky and find 1 on clearance. The R-220 runs $80 at sams club.It runs $99 at staple's. The R-340 runs $139 when on sale at staples.
The epsons come with print cd software. Pretty easy,once you get settings correct.
Best part,I get the complete set of 6 ink carts for under $15 at supermediastore.com. I save a lot of money on my ink.

Are these inkjet printable or thermal printable? Huge difference between the 2.
saugmon- Yeah ! I still get envious of all you guys that shop staples don't have any of them here or BJ's or costco - But samsclub aunt to bad I guess & there's always Newegg! But that's life I guess ? Later Oh' Varmint dancer !
I never kept track of how many covers per set of cartridges. I know I went through a lot of ink when I was printing the full jacket covers and full hubs.I'd change 1 cart every week.
Now I'm down to reg hub shiny and white full hub inkjet printables. My ink usage drastically dropped.Should be able to get 100 + per set for disc cover only? I'm using 1 cart every other month.
For $15 a set of carts at meritline,and $3 apiece empty ink vouchers from staples-very cheap ink-free!! I think staple's is putting those vouchers to a halt.
i was thinking of buying one, just wanted to know how long the ink lasted. i have a color laser that i use my covers on, but i would like to do the disc on one of those printers. think i will check sale ads in a few hours and see if anything will be on sale. thanks for the info.
