Systems and methods for printed-media SSW reference pattern with extra servo bursts used near OD

A system for printed media self-servowriting, comprising:

• a rotatable medium including a surface having a plurality of servo tracks operable to store at least a printed media pattern and a final pattern, wherein the printed media pattern includes one or more wedges and each of the one or more wedges includes at least one of a preamble, a SAM, an index-mark and includes one or more zig/zag bursts;
• a read/write head including:
• a read element operable to read one of the printed media pattern and the final pattern;
• and
• a write element operable to write one of the printed media pattern and the final pattern;
• and
• one or more controllers operable to:
• position the read/write head relative to the surface of the rotatable medium;
• servoing on different numbers of the one or more zig/zag bursts near OD versus near ID in each of the one or more wedges in the printed media pattern via the read/write head;
• write the final pattern based on the printed media pattern via the read/write head.
