CD/DVD Handling Precautions

  • See the documentation provided with your CD/DVD for more information on handling the CD/DVD or writing data.

  • Do not print on the CD/DVD before writing your data to it. If you do, fingerprints, dirt, or scratches on the surface may cause errors while writing data.

  • Depending on the CD/DVD type or printing data, smearing may occur. Try making a test print on a spare CD/DVD. 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 CD/DVD. Adjust the print density as necessary.

  • Allow the printed CD/DVDs at least 24 hours to dry avoiding direct sunlight. Do not stack or insert the CD/DVDs 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 CD/DVD may not improve the print quality.

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

  • Depending on the print area setting, the CD/DVD or CD/DVD tray may get dirty. Make settings to print on the printable area.

  • You can set the print range for the CD/DVD 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 CD/DVD or tray may be smeared. Set within the print range for the CD/DVD you want to print.
