What color is the printing on the surface of the media. I need to put a label on the media, & need light printing that won't show through the label.

Blue-gray with white lettering. Rather dark compared to most disks, I would say.

The label colors go with the types of DVDs. There are only a few manuafacturers of DVDs. Check this list for help: http://www.digitalfaq.com/reviews/dvd-media.htm

Off white. EDIT:I suppose what Joshy G says is true. It isn't as "off" as I'm used to seeing but off is off and this is off white as in it wouldn't blend in with a sheet of 8 by 11 printing paper.

I tried a test using a photo with some serious black in the background. On plain paper it turned out as I expected, a bit gray. When I need really pure color I use photo quality matte coated inkjet paper. The black really snapped! This is the way I've always done it whether with an Epson or H/P. You just can't get past the porousness of plain paper - and I've tried many, many types and brands.Ted Spencer

I just bought the paper and than I used regular color printer with regular colored ink. I was happy with the results, and my project was fairly big, I had to make 10 T-shirts for kids with their names in the back and logo in the front. I hope this helps!

Hi Marcel:Thanks, that information is really helpful. Can you comment on the accuracy and acceptability of the color when you use the WD TV media hub to show jpeg photos on an HDTV? I realize this can be quite subjective, but if you have used a WD TV to show jpegs on an HDTV, I would be interested in your comments.Thanks, Richard

Well it depends... This paper's background is white. You peel it off then iron that on. So when it goes on a black shirt you see the image you printed RXACTLY how you printed it... White spots and all. To get an effect like the one in the image above you have to cut out each letter. And the clear one is meant for heat press. You can iron it but it doesn't turn out so nice. But it's also the most economical choice.

I have had my QL 500 for some time and print labels for folders, plastic containers, tin cans, ect. I don't think I have ever had a problem with fading; although, I have had problems with labels peeling on anything other than paper.

I use a Brother P-touch label maker. It prints on laminated tape, and the 1-inch tape fits on the copper markers perfectly. I use the tape with the clear backing, so it looks like printing on copper. The labels do not weather off, and a decorative font dresses the markers up (you can even make a label for the back side of the marker with supplemental information about the plant).

Both sides are black. The label is mostly black with a bit of space for green label area for writing. They could have changed the label color, as it has been awhile, but I have bought several stacks of this product. The media side is black for better tracking. Seriously. I've found that the black tracks better with the laser as it lets less laser light escape from the media while spinning. WOW, the price has skyrocketed in past years.. Office Depot used to sell this 50 pack for $8!!!! $30 for this??? Expensive.

I use an Ink Jet printer or Laser printer. I use a desktop paper cutter to shape the labels.The paper I use is "Avery 8465" White shipping labels. Some times when i need a large production I take it to my local print shop "CopyCat Printing". I have had great success in getting new work with these disc. I have power point presentation with buildings I have built on it + Video of happy clients.

FYI... the product showing is black ABS. I know the question isn't directed at the shown product, so... Natural is not technically "transparent", but close. It is translucent. That means some light passes through the filament, but you cannot see clear images through it... ie; don't expect to print out a toy car windshield and be able to see clearly through it. I believe, (but don't hold me to this), it is called "natural" because that is the natural color of the PLA filament with no dyes. Also be aware that they don't (at least I have yet to see this) make ABS in translucent or transparent. In addition, although Davinci claims to be able to print in ABS and PLA, they have yet to release any PLA cartridges (I've heard rumor they will later this year though).

Very hard to say what you could be doing wrong. In the past, I've had labels that didn't print. It was my fault, but I don't remember what it was.Start over...close and re-open your Lightscribe program, create a new, simple label, just to test. Be sure to select the correct DVD rom drive. Be certain you are actually using a lightscribe blank disc, not calling you stupid...I've done it.Try it again.

It's white.....all I will use is white. I print with an Epson pro. photo printer using pigment ink, which is made by MSI (Ink Supply). Hope this helps.

Carl! I just did it... took out the color cartridge and it printed a B/W image....hey thank YOU it is good to know just for general purposes. BTW it is darn good little printer and if you can find it on sale as I did (40 bucks) also there is a vendor here that sells both cartridges for under 20 bucks including shipping...they wanted 48 bucks at Staples for the dang cartridges themselves for cryin' out loud........:>}

I ones I used had a transparent background. I printed them using black lettering & had absolutely no problems with using them on colors. I transferred onto canvas material of four different colors & had no problems with any of the colors.

No color, it is a thermal printer. Doesn't use ink, uses heat to transfer the data to the paper. You need special paper for it.
