direct print on CD with Epson Stylus Photo 950
Hello everyone,
I'm new to this group, so Hi to everyone. I have (of course) a question. I just bought an Epson Stylus Photo 950, which has the ability to print directly on CD's. My question is, which CD's ? The regular one's I always have bought ? Or do I have to buy special CD's, which have a special adapted surface. My regular CD's have the same metallic surface, and I seriously doubt if my printer is able to print on such surface, but you never know... Please some advice. greettings, Rodrigo |

Canon states that you have to use CDRom with a printable surface, such as the Maxell CF-R 80PR. I don't believe that you can use use normal CD-ROMs. -Hans |

Please some advice. greettings, Rodrigo You do need to use Printable CDs , I've an Epson R300 just bought 100 Silver printable Cds @ $.42 from: http://www.cddimensions.com/cd-r_med...-cdr80sphp.asp the output is fantastic and well worth learning how to do this , I've been making labelled CDs about 5 years and this is a great upgrade to the stick on labels. |
