What are good printers on the market now to print on DVDs

[Edward Troxel]

I’m using an epson 960. That one’s no longer made but the R200 and R300 took its place. I’ve also used a Signature III dedicated printer with an auto feeder. If you have a BUNCH to print, something like that is a reasonable option. I like the look from the Epson better, though. There’s also some thermal printers available.

Hi,

Thank you. I was trying to find yours. Didn’t know if there was something better out now. I wanted to do something better than scribble on the dvd with black marker!!:( It’s just so UN-classy. With the help of Vegas and your software my montages have been knocking the socks off of friends and family and it’s a bummer to have only my scribble on the dvd! Rendering time is about an overnighter w Vegas 5. Still haven’t installed V6.

have been using Canon i965 and very happy – newer models out (i990 etc), of course, but this will do the trick and more. Photo rendition is pretty amazing too

single inks x 6

pictbridge compatible, 4×6 feeder, A4 full colour in less than a minute, blah blah blah

I’ve been using the Epson R200 with very good results. You should be able to get it for under $100.
The included software is simple but does a good job and the printer couldn’t be easier to use. Perfect alignment and excellent quality. I’m printing on Ritek RiData printable DVD-Rs.

Hello Margie,

I have just purchased an Epson R1800 printer for the same reason. I decided to spend a little more and get great quality. So far I’m pleased with it. Check it out at B&H Photo in New York City. I do business with them all the time.
Best of luck!

Thank all of you for your help!:) I don’t know where to post my thanks to all of you so I did it to my post. I printed out all of your responses that you gave and will price compare to see what I can get for my dollar. Had to get to work yesterday and couldn’t respond anymore during the day. A week ago got a spindle of DVDs from Best Buy and some lables from Memorex that now need to be returned. I am grateful that this site is here! Thank you!

Best to all of you,

Margie

Hi Margie,

Just wondering which printer you decided to go with? I printed a bride & groom onto the cd I recordered with their nemaes & date on it. It came out great. I showed some friends what it looks like on a white label and then I showed them what it looks like on a printable CD and they loved it. I’m using the Epson R1800. Check it out.
Have a great weekend.

Hi Ralph,

I wanted the R1800 but my pocket book right now is in line with the R200. My desk is a joke. I have an HP DeskJet 722C for printing emails and everyday stuff. An Epson Stylus Photo 785EPX that I got a couple of years ago to print photos and now go to a photo kiosk to print photos cheaper .. I think than I can unless I want something bigger or fancy ie makeover in Photoshop. Then my ink dries out! Now I have the R200 to print on the CDs and DVDs. What a mess. Just installed the printer. Best Buy had one left on close out for $79 but not many printable CDs and no printable DVDs. I had to go to Sams Club to get a 100 spindle of each CDs Verbatum were a little over $22 and DVDs were a little over $41. Sams also had many of the R200 for $79.??. There was a parking spot right in front of the front door of Best Buy on a friday night (figured that was a good sign). The R200 had NO USB CABLE in the box!! So had to steal from the other Epson. Still have yet to try it.

Best Regards,
Margie
