How do you copy the image of an actual dvd to another dvd?

I have canon pixma- ip5300- prints on dvd's great ,they look "pro"!!
Trouble is printer models change every 6 months or so it seems and it's v.hard to buy obsolete models, try ebay,amazon ,google search.
Original supplier is best bet ,as posted.

Does it actually print on the dvd? If so, have you any idea where I could purchase one as I haven't found one yet?

Found them second hand on Ebay.

What type of dvds would I need to purchase to be able to print on to them?

I normally use Ritek full face printable DVD-R.

I looked Amazon and they are selling 50 of them for less than £7, am I looking at the correct ones?

Post a link. Doesn't sound bad but p+p? How many are you after doing?

£8 inc. del for 50, not bad.

Have you sourced a printer yet or are you getting someone else to do it for you?

Only about ten but I thought if I got the printer I would have them for again!

I haven't sourced a printer yet as they seem difficult to get new and the ones which are second hand on Ebay are not working 100% according to the sellers.

Jo. I've not used the canon - but I'd trust the recommendations on here.
the epson r200 I use (r300 is almost identical, but with card support) takes full face printable DVD/CD, and feeds using a tray. The results are superb. Plenty of the printers available on ebay 2nd hand, I can guarantee that when mine finally dies I'll be looking for another, not least because with 6 inks colours are great, and they are dirt cheap!

I also use Ritek full face printable disks, about as cheap is it's possible to get (that £8/50 delivered looks about right) but the Ritek dye is very good, I've never had compatibility problems.

Offer is still there if you want to save the hassle, I don't mind printing 10..but 50 would have been a problem (disk cost+postage)
