Specific ? for R200/Ritek G05 Hub Printable Users

[joecav]

I am in dire need to know what settings you are using on the R200 to print to the hub on this media. Ritek -R 8x
I searched for like 5 pages and couldn't find anything and got frustrated. i know there are a boatload of you out there that use this same media and the R200...THANKS!!!!

Hi,

I use the "Print CD" utility that came with the printer. the third icon from the bottom in the the left column sets the diameter of the cd. Not to many options (Standard and Mini) but there is a custom setting where you can set the size of the inner and outer diameter manually for size of the cd that you are printing on. Just set the size of the inner diameter to minimum (20mm).

I use Prodisc hub printable DVDs and I've been able to print to the edge of the hub with this setting.

Hope this helps.

If they're these...




then they look to be the same as my Prodisc Inkjet Hub Printables, for which I get good results with the following settings:

[joecav]

K..thanks guys

[stiltman]

Hmmmm. here I thought you were asking about the print quality settings.
Guess you didn't have a ruler

[HatchetMan]

I didn't have a ruler. These settings worked great for printing onto my Sonic's, thanks guys.

Find is strange that the Prodisc picture is exactly the same as the Ritek, but they have different file names?

My ruler broke while measuring my schlong

At 8cm, 12 cm or at custom settings?

Above, I put up the Ritek picture, because that's what the OP said he had. You're right! On the same site, the picture corresponding to the Prodisc Injet Hub Printables is the following.









Hey,

[HatchetMan]

sounds like a question for supermediastore

[joecav]

Do you guys still get a small band around the outside of the disc? (where nothing gets printed) Or are your discs "borderless"?

borderless

Where there is white, I can print

[Eldorado]

Oh come on now.. this one isn't hard to figure out is it? If it's not printing on the whole area, then adjust the inner or outer diameter until it does!!!

22mm and 119mm is perfect for the Ritek -R 8x..

[HatchetMan]

no white here, maybe you need to enlarge the image to cover the entire area...

[hoppy12]

I don't get a white band around the entire edge, yet most times I get a white banded area, as though the disc was off center. I'm on my second 200 and have had the same problem with both.

[HatchetMan]

there is a utility in there that will print up a test disc, then you measure the markings and adjust the settings to compensate

Hi,

After ~3000 discs /including ~300 hub Riteks/ printed on R200 I have to tell you this:

1/ You can't get a perfect printouts that exactly matches the disc printable surface. You can either leave a tiny white bands /usually top and bottom/ or print 1mm off the printable surface. If latter you have to carefully wipe off the ink around the edges to remove it from the non printable surface unless you want to see it later on your finger tips.
2/ I print Hub Riteks at 22X118mm. For borderless printing /100% of the printable surface/ use 21X119mm + wipe ink arounf the edges and the hub.
3/ Out of 12 brands of printable DVD-Rs I've used so far the Riteks have the best printable surface - you get sharp, contrast printouts with less ink.
And last but not least don't forget that you get what you paid for.

Enjoy!

I know this can vary significantly but how many DVDs can you print with a set of cartridges in this printer ifyou are using a full color graphic for the entire disk?

Also have you guys been using compatible ink or the genuine Epson and if compatlible how have the results been or have you had any problems?

[joecav]

I got my order of G05's (hub printable) in and tested a few discs with the settings mentioned above and it works flawlessly. I love this printer and I love you guys too. Not in a gay way, not that there's anything wrong with being gay or anything...
THANKS!!!

[stiltman]

I love you guys too.
THANKS!!!

You still aren't getting my bud light

[joecav]

I'm a Guinness man myself, but thanks for thinking of me!

[p_l]

I'm glad it's working for you, but guys, tone it down a bit.

I can't tell you how many DVDs I can print with the same carts as I also use the printer for printing the case covers.

What I can tell you is that I use compatibles which work brilliantly from Megatoners and they have the lowest prices I could find - less than $3 per cart. In contrast, genuine Epson carts will cost 5-6 times as much.

[p_l]

I concur. Great results with compatible carts at a fraction of the cost.

[joecav]

Well that was gonna be my next question...Megatoners huh? I'll give 'em a try...any issues with the stupid ink level chips?

**EDIT**
I just ordered up 2 sets of inks from Megatoners (pretty sure I got free shipping) for $34.xx.
If these work well, it will be quite the savings.

Might want to think again
