Hello stiltman,

Just started to print on TY-R hub printable - matte.
Inner is 23mm
Outer is 118.5mm

I use Epson print CD s/w
If I select 118, I will have a very small white ring on the edge.
If I select 119, It will have way too much ink of the side.

I do not know how to print them properly.
I do not like to use 119 and end up with extra ink that I need to wipe off.
I am afraid that some ink will stay and somewhat, may damage optical drives.

Had the same problem with ?????brain fart???? oh yeah, the inner hole for some Prodisc S04's. They seemed to be slightly off. I just printed them as usual. I didn't wait for it to dry. Then I noticed I could smudge the inner ring a little. I really doubt .25mm of ink will cause any problems at all. The media will suck most of the moisture out of it via wicking. Least it hasn't caused any problems for me.

Are you sure the hub is 23mm?
I'll add it to the list

Stilt,

Inner is really 23mm, not 22 or 21.

Edit: outer is ok at 119mm

I'm a little confused -- wouldn't you get a bigger white ring if you select 119? I have a different problem -- I'm using Canon's software, printing TY matte -- but I cannot select a size beyond 118. So I'm getting a white ring as well. And no matter how I size the image, I can't get rid of the white ring. sad.gif

Epson R200 on
Prodisc hub-printables
Ritek hub rpintables

118mm - 23mm

no problems at all
edge to edge printing

I'm working on a template for CorelDraw to print with Epson. It is a pain because everything has to be done manually and requires many tests. But that is my fav so I have to do it. Anybody has one yet?

Thanks stiltman, will do.

Back to the subject of Print Area: Does anyone know if there is there a brand of discs not listed that has a larger hub diameter than TY (44 mm)?

Curious why you would want less print area. Usually, people want more print area

I have some older DVDs I'm backing up that have much smaller labels (large hubs) than the current discs today. I am trying to preserve the label scans as close to the original as possible without trying to fill in the extra printable areas with colors and what not.

How would you use these templates to print to a Canon IP5200 CD Tray? I guess they need to be carefully positioned in a larger template?

Do you know what's the measurements for the Maxell CD-R? The Maxells I bought came in a package, no spindle. Kind of an awkward way to sell blank media if you ask me.

I hope it's OK for me to ask this question in this thread... But is the Ritek White matte (118mm x 42mm) still available anywhere?

I looked at the product image from Supermediastore.com, and the disc looks suspiciously like the same size as the TDK PrintOn and the Verbatim, which has a smaller hub area.

Looks like Rima.com only carrys the Hub Printables, and Supermediastore no longer sells sampler packs... So if anyone has any info, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance!

Great original idea this, although at least one template needs an alignment job…
This is the Verbatim 119mmx21mm template with an overlay of the same measurements done in Illustrator, which is much more precise than Photoshop when doing this sort of stuff (and easier too for that matter). I have this one and the Taiyo-Yuden full-face and I can either export the AI files into Photoshop and make a raster image or convert them to PDF, which works very well too.

Of course maybe it's no big deal and just my OCD.

I added
Verbatim DataLifePlus DVD+R DL white matte
119mm x 35.5mm

After running a copy through last night, 35mm is just a little too small by about .5mm
The template is for 119mm x 36mm
