    I've got an HP photosmart d5160 and I'm happy with it (other than the banding that occurs with non-HP discs apparently because HP discs are a little thinner so a roller does't touch them or something like that).

    My question is, does anyone else have a problem with black ink looking dark blue on TY watershield discs? I get this on DVDs (TYG03 media id). I printed the same image on a verbatim white inket printable dual-layer (MKM 001) with the same printer settings and the black was true black, a very noticeable difference. Same thing with text, and no change in the printer settings so definitely something about the discs themselves.

    I use Watershield discs all the time on a Canon iP4500 printer and I've never had black ink look like anything but black.

    I emailed T/Y and actually got an individually written email back within a day, pretty unusual these days. The person who responded basically said that some dyes just don't work that well with watershield; he mentioned Epson as one that apparently works well. Oh well, at least an honest answer.

    Yeah, it's your ink.
