| 1169725 | 2011-01-14 08:43:00 | Hi everyone, I have managed to get an old Canon BJC-50 mobile printer which I can print cds on (since the items go right through). I was just wondering if there was a template or software to print on discs, etc. I was wondering this because unlike other disc printers, you have to load discs in from the side, and it's not supposed to print on discs :p |

| 1169727 | 2011-01-14 10:38:00 | If it is not supposed to print onto the disc, are you using labels? Placing labels onto discs is regarded as a no no :( I use White Inkjet printable discs in my Canon IP4200 colour printer and they work a treat :) |

Placing labels onto discs is regarded as a no no :( If that was true they would not sell CD Stomper! As long as it is done properly and using the proper full disk labels then there is no issue. If it is not stuck down properly then there could be issues. I have many that have labels stuck on them and never ever had a problem with them even at high speed. If you just use a label that covers only part of the CD/DVD then you could introduce balance problems. |

| 1169729 | 2011-01-14 17:44:00 | Think there is only a couple of currant Canon printers that can print directly onto DVD/CD Been through the stick on Labels years ago,got one stuck in the CD player when the edge of the label started to unstick Been printing on to DVD's for years using a Epson R210 but now all files go straight onto a Media player,no more stacks of DVD's |

| 1169730 | 2011-01-14 19:05:00 | I use an IP4700 and before that an IP3000, they have a proper tray for placing the disc onto and then they feed into a special slot on the front of the printer | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1169731 | 2011-01-14 19:31:00 | I have a Canon MP530. Been printing disks for years. At work we use stick on labels with a stomper. They're fine as they only have a life expectancy of about 4 months before they become obsolete though if you use labels you have to make sure that the disks you buy are bot designed for inkjet printing otherwize the labels peal fall off in a few weeks.... | paulw (1826) | ||

| 1169733 | 2011-01-14 23:43:00 | Using Lightscribe is a viable alternative and does not use printer ink. | Snorkbox (15764) | ||
| 1169734 | 2011-01-14 23:54:00 | I have used stick on lables bought from Warehouse stationery. Some of my disks are two or three years old. I use a stomper and make sure it is stuck on all round. I have had no problems. I did come across a couple of printers that could print directly onto printable disks (no lable needed). Warehouse Stationary did stock these printable disks. I use an inkjet Epson stylus Photo R250 printer. |
