Product Information

Full details

This Q-Connect CD-R Jewel Case is designed for users needing to archive data or create music discs with a write-once format. Its key benefit is the high 52x write speed for quick data transfer and a printable surface for custom labeling. A potential caveat is that it's a write-once medium, meaning data cannot be erased or rewritten.

FAQs

What is the difference between CD-R and CD-RW?

CD-R (Recordable) discs are write-once media; once data is written, it cannot be erased or changed. CD-RW (Rewritable) discs can be erased and rewritten multiple times.

Can I rewrite data on this Q-Connect CD-R?

No, this is a CD-R (Recordable) disc, meaning it is a write-once medium. Data can only be written to it one time.

How do I print on the InkJet printable surface?

You will need an InkJet printer that supports printing on CDs/DVDs. Load the disc into the printer's media tray or use the printer's specific disc printing function. Use compatible printing software to design and print your label directly onto the disc surface.

What is the data capacity of this CD-R?

This Q-Connect CD-R has a data capacity of 700 MB, which is equivalent to approximately 80 minutes of uncompressed audio.

What is the maximum write speed?

The maximum write speed for this Q-Connect CD-R is 52x.

How should I store these discs to ensure longevity?

Store discs in their jewel cases in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Handle discs by the edges or center hole to avoid touching the data surface.

Troubleshooting

Disc not recognized by computer

Ensure the disc is properly inserted into the drive. Try a different optical drive or computer. Check if the burning software correctly finalized the disc session.

Burning errors or failed writes

Close other applications that might be using system resources. Ensure the optical drive firmware is up-to-date. Try a slower write speed. Use a different brand of CD-R if errors persist.

InkJet printable surface smudging

Allow printed labels to dry completely (check ink manufacturer's recommendations). Ensure the correct print mode for glossy/printable media is selected. Verify that the InkJet printer is functioning correctly and ink is not excessively wet.

Read errors after burning

Check the disc for physical damage (scratches, cracks). Store the disc in a stable environment. Re-burn the data onto a new disc if possible, perhaps at a slower speed.
