..as what you see in the software. I did decrease the yellow a very slight bit in the printer driver since I noticed a tendency towards yellow in the printouts on disks. The color is very much dependent upon the disk surface. I bought some Taiyo glossy disks that were recommended by Discus and found I didn't like them as much as the Verbatim Inkjet Printable DVD+R that I have. Dark areas showed a flat texture when the light hit them at certain angles. I prefer the matte surface of the Verbatim disks, and no doubt they're cheaper. You have to choose "Premium Surface CD/DVD" to get the best printed output; otherwise the color lacks contrast.
