[Beautiful_Sin]

hey peeps

so i've got my EP all ready and waiting to get the hell out there, but am still confuzzled about which cdrs to get.
i'm after blank silver top ones - of a good quality - on which i'll stick my own mini labels on
anyone know where i can get good ones online or in the shops? (i'm in the uk)

cheers

try finding 'prodisc' brand. they have many options including silver, both sides.

i'm still putting our band's ep together, but when i do finish, i plan on using a lightscribe burner to complete our artwork. Its grey scale on a kahke/gold type cd cover, but i think thats exactly what we need for our album.

so if you dont mind grey scale, you may save money by lite-scribing. google it

Search for Taiyo Yuden, who manufacture blank CDR's. http://shop.cd-writer.com/acatalog/ALL_PRODUCTS_TAIYO_YUDEN_CDR_MEDIA_767.html

You better hope you don't sell/give out a lot of them, or you will be hating life as you wait 15 minutes or more for each one to finish.


For regular silvers, Taiyo Yuden is the most reliable; Prodisc tends to look the best. Moser Baer is decent for a cheapy.

I use lightscribe, and it takes me 30 minutes per cd on best quality. is 15 minutes on the lowest/fastest settings or the normal settings.

I bought a spindle of 50 Verbatim "Inkjet Printable CD-R" which are completely blank silver CDs that work fine. I think they were cheap too... I think about $25 or $29 Canadian for 50, but I'm only guessing as it was awhile ago (I have 5 or so left)

Re-order # is 95005

Instead of using Lightscribe, which takes WAY too long, I think there's an Epson printer that comes with a special tray that will let you print right onto the face of the CDs. Again, just guessing, but if you want a white background or anything white on the label instead of the background silver, I think you have to apply a blank white label first then print on top of it.
