This chapter describes how the DiscPainter printer works with inkjet-printable discs.

About Printable CDs/DVDs

Inkjet-printable CDs and DVDs are available in two basic sizes (diameters): Standard size (120 mm) and Mini size (80 mm).

Inkjet-printable discs can be hub-printable (also called full face or full coverage) or non hub- printable. Hub-printable discs allow you to print close to the inner edge of the center hole, while non hub-printable discs have a larger unprintable area at the center of the disc.

Hub	Non hub-printable disc

Note The printer does not support printing on business card discs.

Inkjet-printable discs are available with a variety of surface finishes, which are described below.

Disc Surface Finish	Characteristics

Matte	Dull, flat, non-glossy

Glossy	Lustrous, shiny

Silver or Color	Reflective, mirror-like. Red, blue, green and other colors are also available.

Water-resistant/	Resistant to smearing and color bleeding from contact with liquids.
Water-proof

Note Different disc finishes require different ink densities (the amount of ink deposited by the printer) in order to optimize print quality. You can adjust the ink density for the various types of disc finishes. See "Controlling Ink Density" on page 10 (Mac OS) or page 18 (Windows) for information.
