Printing on CD's

vinylmusic

I imagine a printer capable of printing directly onto a CD or DVD would be very expensive but if a cheap but good one exists I'd love to know about it.

Alternatively I have an Epson Stylus CX3600 and I'm wondering if theres a way of printing attachable labels which can be pressed onto a CD

I would be grateful for any advice

Epson R200 prints directly onto CD and is a great wee printer.

Shouldnt cost you that much.

The Epson stylus photo R200 is cheap and does this job great.
I picked mine up about a year ago and it was only £75 then so i imagine it will be a lot cheaper today.
Infact ive just checked ebay and you will easily pick a new one up for about £55 inc postage

Ive got the R300 which is great. Slot the dvd or cd into the attachment and its all automatic. I don't know if its still available as it must be 4-5 years old now.

I dont buy things like that on ebay. I prefer to buy new and have a warranty.
Unfortunately all stores I've looked at so far seem to have discontinued it. Si I must fine one more up to date

The R220 replaced the R200, it's pretty much the same and is still pretty cheap, I think I got mine for about £65 from PC World (with a little bit of price matching, wasn't that much difference). It's a great printer, it uses 6 ink cartridges but the tanks are all replaceable separately.

The CD printing app that you have to use is a little clunky but it works fine and the print results are very good.

Wouldn't it be cheaper to get CD labels and use something like Nero to print them?
Then you could stick them on.

My R300 gave up the ghost after a few years so I've just got the new Epson Photo R265. It also prints direct onto printable CDs just as the R300 did.

Currently £57.18 with Ebuyer.com and of course you can also save an extra tenner with google checkout at the moment.
