Interesting. I wasn't aware of any recommendation to print before burning,
but it's certainly going to be my method from now on.

Now was I. the only problems I had heard of were from labels, the gum
of which does damage the discs.

Actually according to my Epson manual, it's the other way around. Burn
first then print.

Your Epson manual is correct. Mea Culpa.

I apologize for this error. I did indeed mix up the sequence, and I
thank you for correcting my error. The last thing I want to do is
disseminate incorrect information.

I'll strike it up to sleep deprivation, but no excuses, it was the wrong
info and I'm glad you were able to correct it.

Then using my experience with DVDs and a Canon MP970, I'd suggest you keep
that order a secret and don't spread the word.

The advice I would give for this combination is print first then burn.
