Any of you guys know of any ink jet printers that will print direct onto CDs.

Some told me bout an Epson 950 (I think !!) but checking it costs around £300.

Any others.

Availability in the UK only please.

Many Thanks In Advance.

darrenc (or some name like that) is selling 1 over on BST m8

Think he's after about 200. They are expensive bits of kit but WELL worth it

Here in the states the Epson 860 is under $300 and you can get a free cd printing kit for it from Epson.

Any other makes other than Epson available in the UK ????????

Sure I saw epson were bringing out a 900 that did cds about £199

I think I mistyped,it should be the Epson 960.It now comes with the cd kit.It can be found for under $300 US,which would be aboud 200 pounds,if my thinking is straight.

Maplin in the UK have a TDK disc printer for £99.99. I don't have much info on it, it looks more like a thermal printer than an inkjet.

It only does 4 colours but I think it might be worth checking out, for the price.

The TDK is a disc only printer.It prints ONE color at a time.To print the othe 3 colors,you change the cartridges.It does not print a FULL cd label,just a small box with info.The Epson can print to normal paper,does full colors and prints the full label.Not much of a decision,is it?

Well it depends what you need. I have a thermal printer that only does one colour at a time.

It does however print to virtually any type of disk, the finished print is much harder wearing and the print cost per disk is much lower than that of an inkjet.

I have used an inkjet disc printer and the resolution and range of colours is far superior to a thermal one. But, as with anything there are pros and cons, it depends what you plan to do with it.

I didn't know that the TDK only prints a certain area of the disk, which obviously rather limits it's use and appeal.

There's a thermal printer that you can buy for around $90 bucks that does a great job: Casio CW-50

The Epson 960 uses 6 seperate ink cartridges,and inks are not very expensive.At around $300-325 US,it isn't a bad buy.This thread has me seriously considering buying one!
