What is the recommended drying time after printing on these discs?

Interesting question. I find that after I print on the disc, it's immediately dry! But I don't trust that, so I just leave it alone for an hour or two, maybe even longer, but it seems as if it's dry right away.

Recommendation is 24 hours. I routinely play them after 6 hours with no apparent ill effects.

If you heat treat the graphics with Teflon coating upon initial press you can wash cold inside out and machine dry low after 24hrs of initial pressing. The graphics if applied with appropriate pressure and heat setting on your press should not pull or crack

Let the cartridge sit for about 12 hours before printing if it was completely empty! :) I didn't know this either but it helped greatly!

I've been having problems with printing with these cartridges - sometimes blank paper comes out, even after I hear the printer 'printing' - I will try and see if putting new cartridges in will help the matter - printing onto CD/DVDs is working normally - therefore there is either an ink problem or there is a printer problem.

Yes to all of your questions but allow for a few minutes of drying time after printing.

I'm not quite sure I understand the question but if you are referring to printing disc content on the face of the disc, here is a link to a site which gives you a suggested way. http://www.bmyers.com/public/571.cfm?sd=30If I misinterpreted your question, send me another and I'll try to help you out.

Dry time is just dry to the touch. Definitely wait at least 12, preferably 24 hours as instructed.

Depends on how much you print. I have seen from a prior model that the rubber rollers wear out. You can try and clean them with rubbing alcohol and a q(wait until it evaporates

I have NOT used a Mac, but I would assume same cautions apply: 1) make sure the slightly thicker discs will clear the drawer; 2) lower the burn speed as much as you can -- 4X or 8X is ideal to prevent "coasters". You should have "superior sounding" discs. I burn with Windows and NERO with no problems, except NERO will NOT make a copy onto a Verbatim from another Verbatim -- just a strange quirk!

Put the red cleaner disc in first. When it is done, put the yellow disc (put one drop from the small bottle on the disc), finish with the blue disc (put one drop from the taller bottle on the blue disc). I only use it for about 30 minutes ( can do 3-4 DVD's in 30 minutes). The little brush is for cleaning the red disc after each DVD is cleaned.

I used it after a month and I had to go through the print head cleaning cycle. Usually a gap of 6 months dries out ink tanks on most printers. Better would be to remove ink tanks and put their twist-off caps back on and put them in a ziplock and reinstall when needed. Ink can still dry out but at least it won't clog up the print head. If you don't want to do this print a page in color every 2 weeks. Also switch off the printer completely in between uses to make ink last longer.

I don't know for sure, however as long as they are kept in a cool dry place and the seals are still in place, I don't see them drying up. Once installed, they need to be used, if you remove them, you must reseal them. But watch out for your ink jets getting clogged not having any ink to keep them wet.

I've never tried that specific brand, but can say I've never had any problem with any discs I've used for burning, if that helps. Of course, all writable discs have a shelf life regardless of make, though that seems to have gotten better over the years.

I haven't tried that specific printer with these discs but they should work. Some folks have noted that blacks sometimes shift in color to dark blue with certain model printers on these discs. Perhaps try a small quantity and compare with traditional, non-glossy inkjet discs and see which you prefer. I think the glossy surface looks much more professional.

I currently use water-based markers just to be safe. However, discs I've had for two decades that were written on with a sharpie show and they no sign of deterioration. I'm not saying it's impossible for something in the ink to penetrate the disc's coating and cause damage, but I suspect people are being paranoid, and their disc failures are likely due to something else.

I have never had trouble printing discs. What is your problem?Good Luck, Jim

I would suggest "cleaning the printeads" after refilling your cartridges and before printing. I'm able to do this directly from my printer, under "tools"
