CD/DVD "Label" Printers

Yea stickons don't do DVD's.

Heard lightscribe was slow, didn't know it was this slow

Perhaps a inkjet setup would be better, there is apparently a anti smear covering available.

Cheers

Jim, there are problems with sticking labels on CD's DVD's ect.. Look here.

that prints nicely :)

Here is a basic one that is with in range! :)

I have two burners with Lightscribe ability. The labels are dull and boring. I did several before going out to buy the Epson printer.

I have an HP C5280. Prints well to CDs.

Cheers

Jim,

Is this for labeling the DVD with its contents? Or just a company logo thing.

If its the later you can get custom printed CD/DVD's, That what we do, and we hand mark the contents with a sharpie. No god awful labels or printing. And the media is priced reasonable. I think we used CDstogo or something, get their photoshop template, create your artwork and your set.

Cheers

e, Because of the Brave

In any sort of reasonable volume, I would opt for silkscreened. I wonder if you can do silkscreen yourself??

We silkscreen a lot of stuff around here...., though not CD's (yet).

But if one-off sort of stuff, I just use a small Brother P-touch type label. Never had a problem.

For CD's, I'll print paper lables on the Minolta color laser, and then hand-stick using one of those plunger things. Note thereto: Not all plunger things are created equal. The one I have came in a Kit (probably Neato?). I've seen others that make you want to reach for the aspirin bottle...

Good luck.

I use Nero/Neato for the CD's, with the self-aligning plunger, peel and stick... no sweat.

But stick-on's are not recommended for DVD's.

Mostly this will be family photo album stuff, but some back-ups (who cares about labels), but project hand-offs to customers need to be classy ;-)

Anyone using the thermal printers? Inkjet looks like an invitation to smearing when handled, although someone mentioned coating??
