What is a good cd/dvd photo inkjet printer? Just for home use.
I do some burner of dvd's and cd's and would like a way to label them.
Labels cause some problems. I have seen inkjets that will print on cd/dvd but I no nothing about it. Is the end result satisfactory? Does it last? I need a good photo printer and some of the top rated do not include printer to this media. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. My price ceiling is about $350. I'll probably print about 200 dvd's a year. Thanks |

They may not be manufactured any more, but if you have a Fry's in your neighborhood, they frequently have 'reconditioned' printers on sale for $60 - $90 (after rebate). I'm not sure how well it would work as a true photo printer.. At this price I got it as a dedicated CD/DVD printer and have not printed anything else on it. It is a little inconvenient to feed the individual CDs, but not bad. It also has a basic, but functional "label editor". Mike |

Mike The Canon IP Pixma series and some MP series can be modified to print directly onto CD/DVDs. See at http://pixma.webpal.info/IP4200/index.htm |

Mike I have an R200 that I bought ONLY for printing on CD/DVD's and it works great for that...it leave a bit to be desired for photos however. I think the minimum if you want photos too would be the R300/R320 and the R800 would be an excellent choice if you find it within your budget. George |
