dvd label maker

In general, we don't recommend stick-on paper labels. The best solution is to get an ink-jet printer that supports writing to ink-jet CD/DVD media; there are many choices. Alternatively, you can get a Light-scribe DVD burner that can print on special media.

do you recommend the light-scribe brand dvd label burner?

My personal preference is for ink-jet printed media because THEY can be in full color.

I use an Epson R200 which is no longer being made but Epson has new models. I believe Canon does as well.

do you mean one that prints directly to dvd's (as opposed to an adhesive lable)?

You can also use the latest Canon printer/s like the ip8500 which also print directly to dvd's in full color (they do outstanding work btw).



Epson is a good chooice also (as mentioned above).

I have done a fair amount of searching and havent found a stand alone print on DVD solution cheaper than just buying a DVD print capable printer. I just got a HP and it prints fantastic on ink jet printable disks. My only gripe on epson has been that they are ink hogs.

IMO unless doing just 1 or 2 disks, lightscribe is not a option for me as it takes at least 2 burns to look like anything and that takes about 20 minutes per burn, plus the lightscribe media is more expensive.

deb:

The Epson R200 isn't produced any more and it had a problem of reporting out of ink when there was still about 25% left. At one point it would not let you print even though there was ink. There was a big lawsuit over that which was settled.

I just got the R280, the same price as the R200 and it is sweet. I also use Discus to create labels like these.

I agree with F Shippey about using an inkjet printer instead of the lightscribe burner. This way you get a printer for prints and disks.

OT

I don't believe the Canons sold in the US support disk printing. There are none listed on the Canon US site.
