Media labels vs. Printable media
Reference Number: AA-00213 Views: 3975 Last Updated: 2014-11-26 09:34

Wouldn't it be cheaper, safer and easier to buy media and labels instead of media and a printer?

 

 

  

In most cases it will be cheaper to buy printable inkjet media than to buy both media and labels. While the printer might represent an additional expense, you need a printer to print labels anyway; a media-capable printer costs about the same as a better inkjet printer.

 

Labels can sometimes peel and may cause damage to drive and player mechanisms; because the inkjet surface is part of the media, drive damage is less likely, regardless of storage conditions. Inkjet media is also safer in slot-loaded optical drives.

 

Setting up a printable disc is also easier than placing labels on many discs, as most printers have easy-to-use disc alignment.
