Question about Printing on silver cds?

[Visivopro]

So I have started to make my own reproduction Dreamcast games for my own collection but there are some things I’m not clear on. How does my printer account for the silver parts where there is nothing printed? The cd scans I have acquired from here are just that, a straight up scan without the silver parts removed so does the printer just try to print some kind of weird silver gray and waste a bunch of ink or should I be attempting to photoshop those parts out? Seems like a huge waste of ink and probably doesn’t work very well or look right.

Also is there a better resource for disc scans? This site is amazing for covers but is pretty limited when it comes to cd scans.

Thanks very much

The main reason for that is because the site is designed for people to use to case retail games that people lost/ damaged or never had a cover for, not pirated copies.

CD cases are more plentiful (people have them) compared to cardboard boxes that were ripped and thrown out.  There are the occasional people who have loose games that we fix, but most people are not sharing what they have / people are not asking for those games to be scanned.

Disc scans really aren’t our shtick.

And yes, if you want them to be free of the silver bits, you’ll have to manually trim them out in photoshop or something like it. Tedious work.
