Can you print with any inkjet or do you need one special for CD media?

I use an Ink Jet printer or Laser printer. I use a desktop paper cutter to shape the labels.The paper I use is "Avery 8465" White shipping labels. Some times when i need a large production I take it to my local print shop "CopyCat Printing". I have had great success in getting new work with these disc. I have power point presentation with buildings I have built on it + Video of happy clients.

No. The printer feeds paper or cover stock through rollers so the media has to bend. You need a printer designed to print on CDs. Or you can run Avery CD labels though this printer and then stick them on your CDs.

You've got to make sure your printer holds 147mm x 246mm ( 5.79 inches x 9.68 inches) size DVD/CD printing tray. brainstorm.com sells the blank inkjet cards and has a Photoshop template. You just print to an A4 paper size and select the CD/DVD tray and CD/DVD surface rather than paper. You don't need anything other than the Epson software and the Photoshop template.

any I suppose, up to 16x. If you have a dvd + or - writer included built in to your setup it will most likely print to any blank + or - disk, I hope that helps?!

You can't print on them with a typical ink-jet printer. You need to purchase a printer designed to print on discs. I found some at B&H Photo for less than $150.

Yes you can use just the ink cartridge. I hope that tells you what you needed to know.

Does your printer come with a cd printer. You have to download the software that came with it. Then you'll have the templet to design your discs and print on them.

printers with direct to print on disks use the same ink as paper. T It is the disc not the printer that is the variable. Printable discs accept inkjet ink.

Yes, you can print onto CDs, as described in the product description: "One-of-a-kind creative projects - rear paper feed accommodates specialty paper; print directly onto inkjet printable CDs/DVDs". (I know there's a lot of info there, so it's easy to miss.) I have not had reason to try this out firsthand. However, if you click on "see all [n] customer reviews" and then search within the reviews for "CD", you'll see the reviews that comment on printing on CDs.

The Epson Expression XP-810 does have the capability to print to 'printable' cds, dvds, and blu-rays (bd). The word 'printable' refers to media who 'label' side is white with a verly slightly textured surface. It is just like printing on white paper. The texture is so that the ink will adhere better to the surface. As a side note, when using the term 'cd writer' it usually refers to the ability to 'burn' a cd, i.e., burn data, music, video etc., to a disc, not to print to it. But I think you were referring to actual printing not writing. Please let me know if you have other questions. Thanks!

I've printed at least 1,000 CDs and DVDs using this printer with no problems unless one of the cartridges gets low. Then you'll notice color variations. Otherwise, if all cartridges are adequate, printing on printable discs are brilliant.

I use an inkjet printer and it works just fine. I do have to put one piece of paper in the paper tray at a time.

This machine will take any printable CD. We use an inexpensive Verbatim brand and it prints up nicely.

Wow I didn't know Epson starting making their own cis printers. the Artisan 50 is an older model that has a dvd/cd print option which allows you to print directly onto the dvd or cd. I don't think the L100 has the option.

They can be, but there are two things to consider. If the corner comes up at all then it would catch on a slot-load drive. Also, the inside of a CD drive can get kind of warm which may cause the label to come loose... in a spinning CD drive. If you haven't purchased a label printer yet then I would recommend a Casio CW-K85. It prints directly onto the CD. They were $80 a few years ago. Now amazon has them for $250, so I'm guessing they're not sold anymore. I can't find a similar competitor product. Perhaps an inkjet printer that prints to inkjet compatible discs?

Not at all. I've been able to produce full-color images printed directly on ink jet-printable recordable CDs. I have an older model SE with only one multicolor ink cartridge. I understand more recent models employ several cartridges with different color inks.

First you have to have a printer capable of printing on DVD or CD printable faces. I have an Epson Stylus Photo R200, which has a special tray used to carry the DVD into and under the print heads. Most printer instruction manuals available online will tell you how to use your particular printer with DVD/CD's, if it is capable.
