W.E.B.S Ltd have been selling vinyl style media since February 2003 and specialise in both the supply and production of this popular format. The Classic Vinyl CD is a vinyl replica with a black DYE base and an inkjet printable surface. We supply both small quantity and very large volumes of this media at excellent prices.

Vinyl Effect Grooves

These discs have a 'replica' vinyl effect on the top which is very realistic, compared to a real record. The grooves are visually realistic and also provide a real feel. The center area is white with a high quality printable surface suitable for professional printing.

These Vinyl CD-R are perfect for audio or data use, and are widely supported for playback in both computer based and standalone or car CD players. When recording these discs, computer based recording is intended e.g using standard CD writer. Studio type, standalone audio recorders are not supported for recording purposes.

Printable Area

These discs are hub printable which means the inner hub area is printable. The actual spec is 62mm printable area with two zones. Zone 1 is printable from 20mm - 31mm and Zone 2 is printable from 36mm - 62mm.

True Black Base

Unlike others we have seen, the data side of these discs are black DYE which is top quality offering wide comptability in both play back and recording. This DYE has consistently been dark, but our latest batch improves yet again on the replica vinyl look.

Printing onto Vinyl CD

Unlike a standard CD/DVD with a full printable surface, these discs have a vinyl groove on most of the surface with a 62mm printable are within the middle which gives the record look. This inner area is designed for on-body printing and must be done using an inkjet printer which is capable of handling optical media.

Your chosen inkjet printer needs to be able to handle 'zone printing' which is a setting within the driver which allows you to define which areas are printable e.g 62 - 36mm is zone 1 and then 31mm - 19mm is zone2. Unless you can do this, you will be applying ink onto the stacking ring (non print area) between 31 and 36mm which will result in smudging.

Supported Printers 

We have specialised in this type of media since 2003 and have tested them using Primera Signature Pro, IV, HP OptiPrinter, 2000i and Picasso machines. We recommend using professional disc printing machinery and can not guarantee that entry level DIY printers will be able to handle hybrid types of media. If in doubt, please consult with the manufacturer of your printer.

Reviewer: David Wilson

'Classic Vinyl CD-R Black These CD-Rs are great not one problem with coping music to them, I personally have started recreating my single collection from the 50s and 80s and they truly look stunning. I only have one fault and that is the thin black line in the centre of the disc, if that inner printable circle was 100% printable in white I would give it 5 stars. I have recreated a double LP along with original artwork as well and have been asked by friends to make a few of the albums from their collections they have as they have been so impressed by the CD-Rs So 9.5 out of 10 from me.. '

Reviewer: Marc Newby

'This product arrived quickly and in great condition. The first two disks were scratched but apart from that, they worked fine. Very good service, the disks looked great. I will definatly be buying again soon.'

Reviewer: Dwayne Watson

'Hey! these bad boys are BIG! the DJs I we gave them to were well impressed, they're playing our music just because these CD-R's remind them of the 'good old vinyl days' Thank You! we'll need more soon'

Reviewer: Ron Shelvey

'These discs are great and I am so pleased that I have found a reliable source to buy them from! I have been recording all of my old 45 rpm record collection dating back to the 50's and to be able to burn them to a real 45 rpm lookalike CD adds that very special finish and the Sleeves are so retro too!'

Reviewer: Marc Ikin

'Great service discs look great. Recording no problem. I cannot print label though I have got an Epson RX640 anyone got ant ideas????? Other than this grrrrrreat service. Marc'

Reviewer: Steven M

'FANTASTIC! Quick delivery for such a great product. USE: I am in converting my LPs to Vinyl cdrs now. Only problem, well NOT a problem, I would have prefered the print area to be solid for labelling purposes. I am creating labels as originals records and replica sleeves to finish the perfect product. Typical Designers. Highly Reccommended, will be ordering again.'
