what color is the disc top surface can you print on the disc?

It is the usual Silver/grey (shining) color with Memorex DVD + R written on it. I will say that you cannot print directly on it since it is not usual printable matt finish surface

The surface is silver. These aren't the printable ones although I believe Memorex has them.

The top is silver. You can print on the disc but you have to use a marker. I use a sharpie.

Color and black and white are two separate cartridges. If you're not printing in color, then the color won't empty.

I have that printer and the disks look great. The cannon software to print on the disks is really generic tho.

You need an inkjet printer that comes with a special tray to hold the disk. The tray is then inserted into the printer for printing on the disc. Regular inkjet printers aren't set up for this. Printers like the Epson Stylus Photo R200 Ink Jet Printer (C11C546011) ($400) print directly on disk and it's sold here on Amazon. I've used this printer and it works fine if you're only printing the occasional cd or dvd. Another printer here on Amazon, Canon PIXMA MG6320 Inkjet Multifunction Printer - Color - Photo/Disc Print - Desktop is only $63, but I've not used it an can't speak to how it operates. If you're looking to print large quantities of discs, you'll want to look at the more professional printer like the Primera Autoprinter, also here on Amazon, for about $890. Hope that helps.

Yes, just check in the properties part to print in "grayscale". That is what I do. And you could have a box to pop up telling you there is not color and ask you about printing in black and white. Just answer "yes".

I bought the previously mentioned disc tray on eBay and followed the on-line instructions for making the printer ready to print discs - removing a small plastic cover, reprogramming the printer ROM so the printer thinks it is European (accomplished by pushing various buttons in sequence), reinstalling the print drivers, and downloading a CD print program for the Canon Europe website. I had no issues, and it does print beautifully, but you need to have inkjet printable discs. There are different trays for different printer models. The iP4500 uses "Tray F." The tray acts as a caddie to hold the CD/DVD while it is being printed.

There is no such button. Your software determines whether to print color or B/W. I use Ubuntu Linux, and configuration problems have sometimes prevented people from printing color on this and other printers.

Set it to print to Black and White print as a default. It is probable pulling from all the colors. If you are printing web pages, then they come out gray when all the colors are used.

When you hit the print button and the screen comes up for preferences. You can choose to print in color or in black ink. When making a copy you can choose either the color button or black button on the panel of the printer.

I use "copy' and that seems to work. Good luck- every time I want to print, I have to insert the disc and reinstall.

Yes. That is correct. These are the white inkjet printable versions of the disc ^_^

yes you can write on the disc if you use a felt tip marker. do not use a label.

No longer available, Epson 700 has disc printing capability for $ 100. Plus it prints and scans too

Mine is white, at least the top part where the printer sits. Nice unit, rolls well, stores paper and cartridges underneath.

According to the specs on your printer you can print directly to printable CD's and DVD's. No reason this product wouldn't workand the color from the gloss finish on this particular DVD creates beautifully, plus it's one of the most reliable brands.Buy it you'll love it.

The two orders I've received have been almost clean. There is an almost undetectable logo and a few words printed with disc info. at the very edge of the disc. You will almost miss it unless the light hits it just right. Hope this helps.

Hi. I don't think so. Colored Vinyl is still just Vinyl. Picture Discs are also Vinyl Covered cardboard. Whenever you clean Picture Discs, anyway, you have to be sure they aren't cracked, and that the Discs are completely sealed around the outer edge/rim. Otherwise the printed Picture inside can get wet. Hope this helps.
