I have a bunch of discs that I want to print onto (I have a supported printer, and the discs have the white sticker). I am wondering, does it matter if I burn information then print? Or should I print and then burn the information?
I would prefer to print, then burn.

I've always burned first, then print. Just so as not to waste a print in case the burn does not go well.

But....are these DVD's? And are they paper based labels?
If so, STOP. PAper based labels on a DVD have a tendency to make the DVD not work after a while.

Plastic based labels, or print directly on to printable disks is fine. But with the printable disks, you have to wait a while for the ink to fully dry.

I work for the french public radio network. We killed some of our recordings with plastic "stick-on" labels. We killed others using the wrong kind of pens.
We killed others using cheap CDRs, and others and others...

So the only good solution is you burn first, you print afterwards. And you use nothing that is glued on the CD. You use a printable CD and print directly onto it. If not, you forget about printing and use a soft-tip pen specially labeled "for Cd/DVD". The rest is suicide! Trust me, this experience is still costing us a LOT of money.
