Disc Handling Precautions

  • See the documentation provided with your disc for more information on handling the disc or writing data to it.

  • Do not print on the disc before writing your data to it. Doing so may leave fingerprints, dirt, or scratches on the surface which may cause errors while writing data.

  • Depending on the disc type or print data, smearing may occur. Try making a test print on a spare disc first. Check the printed surface after waiting for one full day.

  • Compared to printing on genuine Epson paper, the print density is lowered to prevent ink from smearing on the disc. Adjust the print density as necessary.

  • Allow the printed discs at least 24 hours to dry avoiding direct sunlight. Do not stack or insert the discs into your device until they are completely dry.

  • If the printed surface is sticky even after it has dried, lower the print density.

  • Reprinting on the same disc may not improve the print quality.

  • If the disc tray or the internal transparent compartment are accidentally printed on, immediately wipe off the ink.

  • Depending on the print area setting, the disc or disc tray may be smeared. Make settings to print on the printable area.

  • You can set the print range for the disc to a minimum of 18 mm for the inner diameter, and a maximum of 120 mm for the outer diameter. Depending on the settings, the disc or disc tray may be smeared. Set within the print range for the disc you want to print.
