I've printed at least 1,000 CDs and DVDs using this printer with no problems unless one of the cartridges gets low. Then you'll notice color variations. Otherwise, if all cartridges are adequate, printing on printable discs are brilliant.

You can print the cd but you need the adhesive pages. Print the cd on it and later you transfer to the cd.

I have not used this printer, but I thought I would add that you MUST have the slightly more expensive "printable CD/DVD's" (you can't print on just any CD/DVD).

There's a third party cd printing tray you can buy on amazon for the mp600--and it comes with instructions on how to access the service menu to make the mp600 "European" and able to print directly on CD's using the ray.

I don't know. I never printed on a disc. They don't have any type of special upper surface. It is just the standard shiny silver plastic.

I have that printer and the disks look great. The cannon software to print on the disks is really generic tho.

Is "plun" something like plug and use? I am not very tech saavy, but the instructions let me know that I did not need to install the software on CD in order to print from my iPhone and MacBook Air. That part works like a charm. I put the CD in a drawer just in case someone needs it -- which is unlikely. (The ink cartridges so far seem to have problems. I don't print often sometimes a few times in a day, other times only once in a week.) and the black cartridges seem to dry out.

I don't believe it prints directly onto CD's but will do nice CD labels that you can stick on the CD

You must use a printer that supports printing directly on DVD/CDs.I use Epson Artisan 725 (older) or Epson XP600 (newer).These printers have a special slot to insert the blank DVD/CD and software to print on them.The result is very professional, especially if you download the cover art from the Internet (cdcover.cc)

any I suppose, up to 16x. If you have a dvd + or - writer included built in to your setup it will most likely print to any blank + or - disk, I hope that helps?!

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.

Photoshop Elements 11 does allow selection of the XP 800 CD/DVD tray when printing on my Win 7 64 system. Not sure why others are having issues. Doesn't look like you can attach a screenshot here.

The answer is based on the application being printed from / print driver installed.

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!

Hi, There is no printing at all on any of the discs, and I continue to buy them in bulk and have never had a problem.
