Product Information

Full details

This guide is for individuals and professionals needing reliable storage for data backups, media projects, or archiving. The Primeon 2761227 DVD+R offers a convenient way to store up to 4.7GB of data with the added benefit of an inkjet printable surface for custom labeling. A potential caveat is the reliance on DVD drives for playback and the fact that it is a write-once medium, meaning data cannot be altered once burned. Key features include a 16x write speed, a 4.7GB capacity, and a printable surface.

FAQs

What is the difference between DVD+R and DVD-R?

DVD+R and DVD-R are two competing recordable DVD formats. While most modern drives can read both, DVD+R generally offers better compatibility with older players and some advanced features like better error management during burning. This Primeon disc is a DVD+R format.

Can I reuse these discs?

No, these are DVD+R (Recordable) discs. Once data is burned onto them, they cannot be erased or rewritten. For rewritable media, you would need DVD+RW discs.

What type of printer do I need for the printable surface?

You need an inkjet printer that is specifically designed to print on CD/DVD media. These printers typically have a tray or mechanism to hold the disc.

How long will the data last on these discs?

Under optimal storage conditions (cool, dark, dry place), data on quality DVD+R discs can last for several years, often 10-20 years or more. However, environmental factors can significantly shorten this lifespan.

What does '16x' write speed mean?

The '16x' refers to the maximum data transfer rate for writing. 1x speed for DVD is approximately 1.385 MB/s. Therefore, 16x speed is around 22.16 MB/s, allowing for much faster burning of data.

Can I print on the discs with a regular marker?

Yes, you can label the discs with a permanent marker, preferably a water-proof felt-tip pen. However, avoid using ballpoint pens or abrasive materials that could scratch the surface. The inkjet printable surface is designed for photo-quality printing.

Troubleshooting

Disc not recognized by computer

Ensure the disc is properly inserted into the drive. Try another disc to rule out a faulty disc. Clean the drive lens if multiple discs fail.

Burning errors or failed burns

Close other applications that may be using system resources. Ensure the burner is clean and firmware is up-to-date. Try burning at a lower speed (e.g., 8x or 12x).

Print quality issues on printable surface

Ensure your inkjet printer supports CD/DVD printing and the correct media type is selected. Check ink levels and clean the printer heads. Allow adequate drying time.

Data unreadable after burning

Verify the burning process completed successfully without errors. Store discs in a stable environment. The disc may have been damaged during handling or storage.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: No setup is required beyond inserting the disc into a compatible DVD writer drive.

Compatibility: These DVD+R discs are compatible with most DVD-R/+RW drives and DVD players. Always ensure your drive supports DVD+R media and the specified write speed (16x).

Care:

  • Store discs in their original spindle case away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
  • Handle discs by the edges or the center hole to avoid fingerprints on the data or printable surfaces.
  • Use a soft, lint-free cloth to clean the disc surface if necessary, wiping from the center outwards.
  • Use only waterproof felt-tip pens for manual labeling if not using the inkjet printable surface.
