How to measure/set inner mm for printing on dvd to hub?

[Denvers Dawgs]

I recently bought some verbatim hub printables. How do I measure them to see what I set the inner circle at when I print?

?mm & 119mm print surface...

I used Prodisc hubs before, but as we all know they are poor quality right now. I used 22mm & 119 on those..

Just use the same settings as you did on the prodisc, there shouldn't be any difference, especially on the full face printables.

measure it with any tape measure or ruler you have lying around. Then google the conversion to mm

Or use a ruler/tape with mm markings

(or don't you have them in the U.S. )

This is exactly what I use for Verbatim +R 8x MCC 003.
The center is perfect, but there is a very small noticeable white spot on the OD. IMO, the ideal OD setting would be 119.2mm. I do not want to set the OD to 120.
What setting (paper type) do you use (cd/dvd, premium, photo, etc)?

Actually, every ruler/tape measure I have is both metric and imperial. I find metric measurements better/easier for fine measurements, but I was brought up using imperial. I can pretty much convert most things with acceptable accuracy in my head.

I usually use the normal CD/DVD setting rather than the premium setting. I've played around with the offsets to get the prin centered but I can't remember if I had to increase the outer diam to 120 to fill get full coverage. When you look at these things the quality is really good. The printer has performed way better than I though it would. Produced by home movie to bore everyone at christmas and this year did all the covers.

Emotions aside if you think for a while the metric system actually is simple and makes much more sense:

1km=1000m
1m=100cm
1cm=10mm

or

1ton=1000kg
1kg=1000grams


as opposed to

1mile=4770feet
1ft=12inches

or

1ton=2207lbs
1lb=16oz


1inch=2.54cm
1mm=1/25 inches
1cm~0.4 inches


The non-metric system is not better we're just used to it and that's it.
Most of the office supply stores sell inch/centimeter rulers for less than a dollar. I hope this helps.

Sort of, but a metric "Ton" is spelt...
Tonne...
Trust em to spell it diffrent..
Brought up on Imperial but chugging along quite happy Metrically now.... Some things were designed to make lif easier.

1mile=4770feet

Only if you have really big feet!

119x21 is dead nuts for me too. Tim, nice cover, but that 21mm looks like it's right smack in the kisser. Instant yawn.....but nice work. Like the Matrix overlay.

Your right the mouth does get hit right in the centre. Maybe given more time I'd have re jigged it. The Matrix overlay is off the title sequence to the movie. The front cover was basted on the DVD image so you got to see the whole picture there.
