[Hidden-tech] Printing directly onto CDs and DVDs

[Fred Levine]

David:

I also use an Epson‹the R200, which has probably been replaced by the 220,
but is a very inexpensive printer. I¹ve been very impressed with the quality
of the labels and especially the ease-of-use of the software that came with
it. (And I didn¹t used to like Epson software‹not mac friendly). I¹ve
churned out 40 discs at a time for various volunteer projects and such and
it¹s pretty reliable. As for cost of discs, if you hunt around on the
internet, you can find very inexpensive blanks.
