DVD Printing corrupts data
in [Printers]

I know I am responding to my own posting... I have been giving more thought to the matter of the sequencing of burning versus printing CDs and DVDs, and wondering why different people are reporting opposite results. I think that first of all a distinction may be required between CDs and DVDs. As I mentioned previously, DVDs have polycarbonate protecting both sides of the writable data layer, while CDs have a very thin lacquer coating between the writable layer, the reflective layer and the top "printable" surface. CDs are vulnerable to the data layer being damaged when printing the top layer, due to physical damage or the dye possibly entering the reflective layer. This can't really happen with a DVD. However, DVDs can be written at a very high speed and perhaps the possibility of placing the disk off balance with the inks could be enough to make it write incorrectly, or be stressful to the burner motors. This is conjecture, but it may have some logic.
