Hello, I'm new to printing on disc surfaces, as I just make discs for my personal use I've always just used thin adhesive paper cutout with a cricut (yes bad, never had issues though).
Recently I picked up a Epson 8550 which can print direct to disc so gave it a try with some Verbatim DVD-Rs. The print quality itself seems good, however the colors and blacks are very muted and almost grey. The surface of these discs in general is not like the bright white you'd get on a quality paper which I believe has to do with it.
Is this to be expected from inkjet printing, or are there other brands I should be looking at for a higher surface quality?
I also have been looking at silver printable discs, the shine would be useful for some of my projects however I can't seem to find any reputable brand making a hub printable silver DVD-R, is there something readily available out there still or are these becoming more challenging to purchase?
The quality of the media is fairly important, a lot of what I write are fan translations and modified video games and systems like the Playstation 2 are extremely picky about their media.
Thank you!
