Dymo DiscPainter. Slap 1200dpi full colour loveliness all over your CD and DVD discs with this small inkjet disc printer. The unit works with PC or Mac and can print out an edge to edge image on your disc at highest resolution in 3 minutes. Oh, and you’ll need to use ‘inkjet printable’ discs of course. $279.95.
Until now, getting great graphics on CDs and DVDs was about compromise. With the DYMO DiscPainter CD/DVD printer you don’t have to give up a thing. One look at DiscPainter in action and you’ll see magic at work. That magic is in fact patented RadialPrint Technology that prints directly on the disc as it spins.
… or I could buy one of the Epson printers that do the same thing for half the price… and they print on other things as well!
The DiscPainter and the Epson disc printers are not even in the same league together. I owned an Epson R800 series to print documents and discs. It worked great for documents but it was so slow printing discs that I often had to hit the print command and go to lunch and hope it was finished when I got back. My Epson printer would not feed the blank discs correctly at least 50% of the time. It also produced smudges on the labels all too often. I don’t care if the Epson was free, I wouldn’t use it for printing discs. My time is much too valuable. BTW the DiscPainter also prints disc labels at 600 dpi in just 1 minute.
