True Memorex what ever media are good and they back there products. Ritek & Verbatim or cheap media ran in large quantities with little quality control. Taiyo Yuden I do not know because I've only see the silver that I don't use and good deal or not I won't pay what they ask.

I clean, fix and service PC and servers to pay for my computer habit. When I'm done I image the HD for my customer as a curiosity. Plus next time it does not take as long to fix their system

Ritek made the Ink cartridges I mentioned before. I have had great success with them. As far as cheap media I have had good luck with Prodisk.

Have any of you backed up the new Sony DVD's? I can do it with great quality, was wondering if there is a way to speed up the process.

Real smart go to supermediastore and pay $28.80 for 2 sets and then pay shipping or go to Meritline.com and pay $36.00 for 6 sets, no tax in CA and free shipping. Do the math

Heads Up!

I was at Staples yesterday 8-20-06 and the clerk told me at around Sept. 15th they will no longer be giving the $3.00 off coupon for ink cartridges that are not HP. This was in Southern California but the clerk said it will be a nation wide thing. You may want to call your local Staples and see if you find the same situation.

Also I have been using the private abacus ink and have been really happy with both the service and products.

alkohol- Where do you purchase your genuine Taiyo Yuden 8X DVD+R Silver Inkjet printable dvds from?

i just checked out the staples thing and it works. i took 7 cartridges in and got $21 worth of credit. you can use up to 3 per purchase. they told me the same thing about only accepting certain types in sept. they said hp, lennonx and 1 other are the only ones they will give coupons for.

sorry i forgot the third type.

has anyone thought about buying the 99 cent cartridges and returning them all to staples for a $3 credit?

That's about as good as it gets.

I've got 2 printers.....

1 is a HP photosmart 7550

& my 2nd is an EPSONR300

I only use my HP for printing text, word documents, or something online.
I used to print digital prints w/ it but, going to Wal-M#rt & Wallgre#ns
gave me better results.

I use my EPSON for printing onto DVD's & printing labels for DVD cases.
Been pleased w/ results using the EPSON.

I'm seriously thinking about getting rid of my HP printer.
The ink is much more expensive than my EPSON. HP printer takes 3 ink cartridges & each one costs at least $20, for an off brand.

I could get all 6 ink cartridges for my EPSON for about $20 shipped.

check this deal I got on Ebay.........
12 ink cartridges for my ESPON $ 18.00 shipped..........

My HP 3420 passed away and its substitute a HP 3175 all in one decided to follow the first one. After theese errata choises I decided to decline from the above mentioned firm and I purchased an R200 printer and a Canon LIDE scanner. Both are wonderfull. The printer for its quality and the scanner for the physical dimensions!

I bought an Epson R200 for $99 from a local Houston area Best Buy store a couple months ago so I could print directly to my CD's & DVD's. My Sharpie days are over!! It replaced a still working Lexmark X63 that I seldom used. Guess I'll dump the Lexmark on Ebay along with two fresh filled (at Walgreens) cartidges. They cost me about $45 to refill a $20 discount from new ones.

You can stretch the image a little larger than the disc to cover it all.
Just drag the sides of the image and will stretch.

@AlBundy............
Do you have your "Outer Diameter" set to 118mm?
"Inner Diameter" should be around 33mm - 18mm or 20mm (depending on disc being used).

Also, if possible, scan the labels for the discs (using button of pic under the "ABC" button). Then you can stretch the pic to fit, like Newbious mentioned. If you drag and drop the pic, from a download, to the template, it will be put on as the background. You'll pretty much have to live with what you get. Then you can't drag the points to adjust. Using the second from bottom (green disc) button, you can adjust the background a little, but it's basically just centering it, not stretching it. So, when possible, scan the original, to get it to fit better.
Good luck!

I never realized that import would do that. Thanks for the info. I learned something.

But, 118mm on the "Outer Diameter", will print to the edge. Has worked with every brand disc I've tried. Never had a white line around the outside. I was scared it would overspray the ink, into the printer itself, if set higher than 118mm. Try it yourself. I have had a white line around the inside (center) hole though. I have the R200, and the software only goes down to 20mm for the "Inner Diameter". I know the newer software goes down to 18mm, so that should not have a white ring in the center.

No......... I looked on their site. No software to be found. I emailed them about an upgrade. They wanted me to pay, and they would send me a disc. I told them to forget it. I wasn't paying for something that should be free.

I downloaded the software for the R300, from a post someone had made, a little while back. Haven't installed it yet. I was told it will work. I'll get to it one of these days, soon......

I've got a question.......

I disconnected my HP printer( no longer using at all )

Now I just have my Epson R300 hooked up. Is there a way that when my PC turns on, so does my Epson printer ?

My HP would always turn on when my PC was turned on.

Currently when I want to use my Epson, I have to always manually turn the printer on.
