What about scratching the ink off of the printed surface? I use a canon mx922 and bought verbatim CD-Rs and the ink scratched off with my fingernail.

I have never had ink scratch on my Watershield TYs. I use an Epson printer.

I'm sorry, but to me this does not happen. I bought the DVD Taiyo Yuden and use an Epson Stylus Photo TX730 WD printer. I don't have this problem. The impression is perfect on the DVD.

No u can not scratch it off with ur fingernail. It can scratch because it is like any painted surface. But they do take some abuse. And they will not run when they get wet. These r the best u can gat and they are worth the money.

I have had no problems, beautiful smooth and glossy finish, I have an Epson printer and inks. Very durable finish in my opinion. Never had a burn failure either!

I use an Epson Artisan 50 and haven't experienced that problem. I've had very pleasing results with the JVC Watershield DVDs. Bright . crisp and sharp photos on the glossy surface. I also haven't had even one bad DVD and I'm well into my second 50 pack. I've had bad ones with every other brand I've used before.

With a laser printer I did not have this issue. I would guess that on an inkjet printer the issue would vary by ink manufacturer.

I've always use a inkjet printer, so I never had problems with ink running on the standard paper/photo paper.. It comes dry when it's done printing.

It's not the newer printers, it's their inks and papers. Many are printing permanent images, dry quickly and almost never smear, if handled correctly. Sloppy can mess up almost anything, but newer printers are really worth their costs. I recommend sticking with an Epson printer if you're going to be using Epson paper. It's a nice match.Read

Call Technical support. They have been absolutely wonderful with me on every occasion! and, the only other thing I would suggest is with the new cartridge of black in place, disconnect your printer from the electrical outlet and shut down your computer. Then, restart your computer and restart your printer to see if that makes a difference. Otherwise, call KM. They are wonderful! And, these printers are wonderful although a bit "sensitive."

Sorry I just saw this. I have been using Canon printers since 'before Windows' and have always used generics and in all those years I think 3 cartridges have failed me. Be sure and type in the model of YOUR ink cartridge for your printer in the Amazon search bar and you should get many options.

printers with direct to print on disks use the same ink as paper. T It is the disc not the printer that is the variable. Printable discs accept inkjet ink.

The only time this ever happened to me, I changed the tape cartridge. Be sure the paper cartridge is kept in a cool, dry area before you load it... I suspect high humidity may reduce the paper adherence to the ink.

My printer, Pixma 4820, recognized the cartridges. Printing was fine for thing which are not kept, however photos faded badly and I've gone back to Canon ink. Jim Wilson

I have not problem with mine. Some of their cartridge have a metal strip on top that u have to scratch off for it to detect the cartridge. But that was laxmark.

I have a Kodak ESP 9250, which uses these cartridges, and I've had the same issue as well. My theory is that the ink dries out quickly if it's not used right away. I use fewer than 100 sheets of paper per year, but find myself buying ink once or twice a year.

You can also go through the printer's maintenance and try have the printer perform a print head cleaning as well. I was having some major problems with mine too (it just turned out that I was using cheap ink).

Apparently, Canon installs chips in the ink cartridges, in order to let you know the amount of ink left in them. I'm not sure about Canon, but in my old HP printer, if they passed the expiration date, the printer would not function unless they were replaced, even if still full. So, if you can find compatible ink, without chips, go for it!!!

I have owned all sorts of printers, scanners, copiers, the list goes on and on. Throw the Epson out. Stomp on it. Burn it, then buy a Canon. Never had a problem with them.

I haven't had any leaking cartridges so far.I have gotten ink on my fingers by picking up too many used up cartridges at a time, but it wears off pretty fast.I've gotten to where I change one cartridge at a time and dispose of the used one first.

not sure I used it but my printer head got clogged and couldnt get it unclogged my hubby was saying they put something in their ink to prevent that. so I am going to look into an additive for it. did this ink cause the clogging? not sure.

I buy cheap transparent tape (NOT magic tape, it's impossible to get off) and tape over the holes on my Canon cartridges. Then I type the date I refilled them on a sticky mailing label and put the label over the tape. When it comes time to refill, I can peel the whole thing off. No mess.
