Anyone printed direct to CD/DVD? Has anyone used this printer to print DIRECT onto CD/DVDs?

As far as printing directly onto CD/DVD's, with the MFCJ825DW, it's a snap to do. You need the NewSoft CD Labeler software which is available on the CD that comes in the software package provided with the printer. (There might be a small upgrade available, also, from the software company. Use Google search). You also need the proper kind of disks for the printing. I am using the Verbatim disks that are called Inkjet Printable White, Hub Printable. They work great! The cd's will cost you about $0.36 each (50-pack) and the DVD's will cost you a bit more (bought thru Amazon). The cost of ink is extra, and dependent on your design (leave as much white space as you can). There is a lot of simple power in this printing software, especially using the "import" feature. You can import all kinds of images, backgrounds, etc., with a little of playing use Google "Images" or photos, etc. If you want to reach me, pfournier1@gmail.com

I only owned this printer for two years until it broke and cost more to repair then buying a new one. To answer your question, I don't see it possible to be able to print on a disk. There was only a paper feeding tray as far as I can remember. Hope this helps and I would look into buying a different (less ink hungry) printer if it's not too late

It certainly can and I have used it to print a couple of CD's. You need to use inkjet printable media which is typically a flat-white surface (not the silver reflective surface). The software that comes with this model of Brother allows you to imbed images, your own text etc. There is an adapter "frame" that you use to hold one DVD or CD at a time that is positioned through a front slot. The adapter frame also stores neatly in the top so that you don't lose it.

According to the specs on your printer you can print directly to printable CD's and DVD's. No reason this product wouldn't workand the color from the gloss finish on this particular DVD creates beautifully, plus it's one of the most reliable brands.Buy it you'll love it.

You will need to download the drivers for the Epson Stylus Color R280. I'm not 100% sure what it is, but from what I heard Epson made a change to the Artisan drivers that prevents them from printing a square on the CD/DVD disc plate. When you install the drivers, you will be able to select it when you print to the Artisan printer. It "might" work. Look it up on the web, there is a lot about this subject.

Honestly, I did not try to print the titles on the actual CD/DVD. I think I tried but I may not have had the proper sofware to do it. Sorry! Good luck.

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.

I have a Canon MG5320 printer. I use an excellent program called "Surething Disc Labeler Deluxe which works great. I have no problems producing CD's and DVD's. Check www.surething.com for info. R. Burke

The CD or DVD disc must be printable. I have used an Epson R260 printer for 15 years and have made many hundreds of labels that require TIF pictures, coloring and design practice. In my opinion,it is the only way to go.

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.

You have to get a printer that prints CDs and DVs such as the CANON PIXMA MG5320 It has a special try for discs

Mine wouldn't even print directly to PAPER so I doubt you could print to DVDs.

It doesn't so much print a label as print directly onto printable CD/DVD's. I've printed two so far and I'm really impressed at how easy it is. You can even stick a CD in the scanner and it will copy the image directly on to your blank printable CD. Amazing!

You need an inkjet printer that comes with a special tray to hold the disk. The tray is then inserted into the printer for printing on the disc. Regular inkjet printers aren't set up for this. Printers like the Epson Stylus Photo R200 Ink Jet Printer (C11C546011) ($400) print directly on disk and it's sold here on Amazon. I've used this printer and it works fine if you're only printing the occasional cd or dvd. Another printer here on Amazon, Canon PIXMA MG6320 Inkjet Multifunction Printer - Color - Photo/Disc Print - Desktop is only $63, but I've not used it an can't speak to how it operates. If you're looking to print large quantities of discs, you'll want to look at the more professional printer like the Primera Autoprinter, also here on Amazon, for about $890. Hope that helps.

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!

Printing on this disc requires an inkjet printer capable of printing on discs. Assuming that your printer can, I would suggest checking the printer user manual for instructions on how to print on a disc. My printer is an Epson Stylus Photo R280 which is an older printer but works well for me. It has a disc feed mechanism built into the tray area where paper exits after being printed on. Usually there is a separate utility by the printer manufacturer that also must be installed. If you don't have your printer manual, you should be able to search for one on the web. While I was learning, I did some testing on plain printer paper until I got the hang of it - this helped me avoid wasting discs due to bad printing. Hope this helps you get started.

No it does not work for CD/DVD, it only works for ID's. The CD/DVD tray comes with the Epson Printer.
