How to use and install DVD-R 4.7GB 8X UltraLife Gold Archival Grade with Branded Surface and Hard Coat

• Verify your DVD drive or burner supports DVD‑R media and set the recording software to the appropriate speed. For best results, select a write speed that matches, or is below, the media’s rated 8X, which helps ensure a clean burn and reduces the risk of write errors.
• Insert the Verbatim UltraLife Gold DVD‑R disc into the drive with the label side facing up unless your printer or inkjet system requires a different orientation. Handle by the edges to avoid fingerprints on the surface.
• Use reliable burning software and choose a data, backup, or disc‑copy operation. If you’re creating archival backups, enable verification after burning to confirm data integrity.
• Label discs after the burn using the branded surface, ensuring you keep the label clear and dry. For printed labels, follow your printer’s guidelines and use media‑safe inks designed for DVD surfaces.
• Store burned discs upright in a cool, dry, dust‑free environment, away from excessive heat or humidity. A dedicated archival storage box or spindle case helps minimize exposure to environmental factors that can affect longevity.
