Silver CDR's and my burner???

[LAZI]

When they claim cdr's are silver are these the same type/quality as the cd's you buy from the major reproduction companies or do they just have a more silver appearance to the ink side? I'm looking at some that I purchased an they don't claim to be silver but are the closst I have seen. I still see a greenish tint on the ink side. Gotta really look though...

If they are the same type/quality cdr as used by major distribution companies can any old cd burner print to these? I have a IOMEGA USB ZIP CD and a 12x4x32 scsi cd burner. Just guessing I would think they would work fine... Just wondering though.

These questions may seem lame but just wondering if I can print cd's at home that can resemble the cd's from mass reproducers.

Thanks.

..translation...

sweetnubs was correct...

commercial cd's are pressed, cd-r's that we buy are "etched" with the laser in your cd-rw drive. You should go to www.howstuffworks.com and look up "how cd's work" and "how cd-r's work". You should also look up everything else there cause the site is just cool. All the questions you never though to ask on one site.
