Hi Severin, Very quick reply as out working, so can't help WAMUG much today. When you installed the software for the R2880, you installed the 'Epson Print CD' program for printing label designs directly onto printable CD's & DVD's
You need to use InkJet -Printable CD's & DVD's I've used this software for years and only ever use Verbatim Inkjet Printable DVD-R, DVD+R DL, CD-R Have never burnt a 'coaster' DVD in all the years using verbatim DVD-R & DVD+R DL (for dual layer discs) I've always stayed well away from Imation Discs. And never use stick on labels. If a stick on label starts to peel in a CD/DVD player or in your computer's optical drive... You are in a heap of trouble! You can download the manual for your R2880 (if you don't already have it) at the link below. You will find all details under Printing on a CD and DVDs section <https://files.support.epson.com/pdf/r2880_/r2880_ug.pdf> Cheers, Ronni Sent from Ronni's iPad4 > On 18 Feb 2015, at 12:47 pm, Severin Crisp <sevcr...@westnet.com.au> wrote: > > I use Discus to prepare and print labels for DVDs but I find a uniform very > poor reproduction of picture material.
