Small printer to print on printable CD/DVD/Blu-Ray

I would like to be able to print on these blanks, but have
all my other printing needs already taken care of.

Does anyone make a small footprint printer with decent label
design software that does this?
Thanks,

What's the volume and do you want a system the burns and prints or just
prints ?

If you have a volume situation, I have used the Primera Bravo II. It stacks
25 media and burns and prints each disc in the stack robitically.

If low volume, a Canon or Epson may suffice but they aren't dedicated to
just print CD/DVD/mini-CD, etc, media. However the price is good.

Personally, for the last three years, I have been using a Epson Artisan and
I am very happy with it using SureThing Disc Labeler 6.

I have a Canon iP4950 inkjet that does a pretty good job of colour
printing on printable CD/DVDs, but it is a normal A4 size printer that
does disk printing as an extra - not a specialist disk printer.

I think that even if you found such a specialist machine, it would come
out much more expensive than a dual-purpose one like the iP4950!

Fairly low volume, and just prints.

I saw that, but it is overkill for my use.

Is there a version with a small footprint?

Thanks.

It depends on how you define small. I've been using an Epson XP-800 "small in
one" for a couple of years now. Has two paper trays, rear sheet feeder and
prints CD/DVD blanks.

Thanks, this is bigger than the Artisan 50, but its LAN connectivity
will allow me to put it in a good location. I just ordered the new
version, the XP-810. I will take a look at the software that comes
with it, and if it does not do the trick order the Surething software

Thanks to all,

Epson Print CD is OK but SureThing is better for sure and its not expensive.

As always, I suggest buying the extended filled ink carts, in this case
T273XL, and buy a complete set when you obtain the printer.

Cyan (T273XL220)
Magenta (T273XL320)

I agree - the standard carts are really small. The XL carts are OK, but only
available from the Epson Store.

Also - depending on the use and humidity, you may want to schedule a regular
nozzle check. I live in an extremely dry climate and the heads are very
susceptible to clogging. A cleaning cycle uses a ton of ink and doesn't always
work.

They are at Staples and thus probably even more widely available.

Wow - thank you. Amazon does not carry them for some reason. And Epson doesn't
sell the multipack, so there's some savings there..
