Could this handle full-color, high quality print jobs like professional grade DVD covers?

It is not going to come out glossy, and the cost is very high. I would not get any of the generic toners to work, and the OEM toners are way too expensive. I now have an HP Laserjet Pro 200.

We had nothing but problems with this printer handling simples jobs. I doubt it could handle anything even remotely complicated or fine finished.

If you use a light scribe compatible DVD you can do it. Don't forget to install the right software though.

Absolutely! Any Epson printer with a CD/DVD burner tray should work perfectly. I use an Epson Artisan 725 myself and have successfully printed hundreds of DVD labels without a glitch.

Not that I'm aware of and the technical specs just talk about paper handling capabilities. I'm sure it can print CD and DVD paper labels like most other printers. Below are the only specs regarding acceptable media type I've found on the technical data sheet that came with the printer. If you find out differently, please let me know!

The other response to this question could be correct - my experience with Lightscribe software has produced marginal image quality, not saying that the technology hasn't improved, but for the time (typically 10-20 minutes per disk) and effort (not to mention early retirement of the laser) there are inkjet printers that do a better job printing color onto DVD's with white sided media. If your heart is set on Lightscribe, ask the other respondent (who said it doesn't work) if they were aware that the disk has to be flipped over so that the laser (on the bottom of the drive) can burn the artwork on the "top" emulsion side of the disk. Good luck!

I have not used this printer for photos, I have a photo centric printer for that duty. For printing presentations and general output, the color output looks great, accurate and bright, never blotchy or streaky.

Yes,If you are using this for editing, color correcting it will not disappoint.Set up as raid 0 for your scratch disc and 4K footage is no problem.

I use a artison 837 printer by Epson has great soft wear easy to use. And I use custom maniacs Web site for DVD covers. So hopefully you have a printer which can print the dvds.

I am not 100% certain but I wouldn't think so. It has quite a number of markings on the front "Value Disc" etc. so even if you could print on it, it wouldn't look very nice. If they want something they can print on, they might try Optical Quantum or Verbatim brand.

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.

The answer to your question is, It will make cover for DVD cases as well as the DVD. Hope this information was of some help. Have a great day and new year.

I agree with Dale W. This is a great color printer for business (pictures look really good), but I would not use it as a photo printer.

I don't have an answer, Scott, but seeing as how the 3-color cartridge is such a limitation, both in ink usage and in printing pure blacks, I wonder what the possibility is that Dymo will bring out a DiscPainter II shortly, with at least 2 cartridges. There's certainly room for them back there, and it makes a lot of sense. With my luck, they'll do it right after I buy the 3-color version. ;-) Thanks for your review. Re the dithering, is it really that bad when printing in high-resolution? Seems like at 1200 dpi the dithering ought to be minimal, but then I haven't seen one of these.

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!

yes somewhat. It seems that the print is usually darker on cd's than it is on DVD's. There should be an option in the Lightscribe software to choose how dark to print. Even at the darkest setting though, it is not really dark.

Well I personally have an epson ex7210 and it can play on those dimensions and even bigger screens. The thing about the epson is that it can resize the image too fit the screen . For an exact size I would not know sorry. Happy Thanksgiving!!!

I assume you mean a print image. Haven't done that. Can't tell you for certain. However, it will create a 7200 dpi image and creates very large .tiff files. If I recall they're around 20M+.
