Printable DVD Rs have revolutionized the world of storing data, pictures, graphics and music on compact discs. The ‘R’ in the DVD stands for recordable. DVD Rs are digital versatile discs that you can write data or record on only once. These discs are ideal for making back up files from your computer.

To understand the concept of printable discs, you also need to be familiar with DVD R DL. This is the dual layer disc that has the advantage of storing double the amount of data as compared to the storage capacity of a single DVD R. This is because one of the layers of data is semi-transparent, making it possible for the laser beam to read data on the second layer.

Both DVD R and DVD+RDL provide the benefit of printing full-color reproductions of texts, logos, data, records and graphics directly on the disc, giving the recorded material a completely professional look.

Search the Internet and you will come across many companies offering attractive discounts on these printable discs. You should opt for the white surface discs because they provide excellent color and fidelity, as well as clarity and sharpness of figures, graphics and text. These discs also have a special coating that ensures faster drying of ink.

The ideal disc should also have a black coating over the recording layer. This ensures that the DVD R remains protected from the ultra violet rays and solar radiation. In turn, this increases the life span of the DVD R. In fact, you will come across companies who guarantee the life span of discs from 30 years to 60 years. The printable discs available on the market are compatible with inkjet printers.

These recorded discs should be compatible with most DVD players and DVD ROM drives. You should look for ones with superior archival quality and those offering lifetime warranty.
