[CoasterTim]

those of you who have a printer capable of printing on CDs - what is your opinion of the quality? What printer do you use?

I have an Epson R800 printer with CD printing capability. The result on water resistant Imation Aquagard printable CDs is quite nice when I use 'Enhanced matte' in the printer driver. I would classify the output as near photo quality; admittedly a subjctive classification. It also provides a very durable surface. My understanding is that there is a durable glossy/water resistant printable CD out there also.

Thanks, Bruce, for the input. The R800 is one that I am seriously considering purchasing. It appears to be a versatile printer.

I use an Epson R1800 and Discus cd printing software from magicmouse.com

I have used a silver surfaced printable cd from TDK, Taiyo-Yuden Watershield hub printable cd's and DVD's (glossy surface) and other printable cd's with excellent results.

The Discus software directly supports the R800/R1800 printers and also has templates for jewel case inserts, mailing lables, business cards, etc.
Dymo also has a disk printer but I know nothing about it. (dymo.com)

Both are glossy, waterproof, and hub printable. Spindle packaged.

MM also points out that these are not available in your local store because stores are obsessed with low prices.

Your welcome. I have both of these and the resulting finished product is absolutely amazing!

I just wish they also made them in DL media.
