Printing on DVD's : Epson Printers
Hi, I've been using my Epson Artisan 50 printer with the Continuous Ink System to print labels and it's working out great. But when I want to print on DVD's I'm not sure how I do this. I'm asking this here cause I know a lot of you use this printer. I'm currently using DiscLabel to print my labels. What software are you using to print with for you Mac users?
Thanks |

Does the printer have a tray and slot to print discs with? If not, you can't.

Looks like it does come with a tray
Epson Artisan 50 Ink Jet Printer, What's in the Box? - Product Information - Epson America, Inc. It should be in your manual... Im not sure how that printer works compared to mine, but I would say its not hard.. David |

The blog post looks awesome! Where do you get the different cases and/or templates to print them? What type of paper do you print the inserts on? How do you get the gold etched option?

I was thinking of buying one of these epson printers but I can't find the printable DVD's here. I can find printable CD-R's but no DVD-R's.

I use photoshop to design the DVD labels. Then flatten the image and copy and paste to PrintCD to print from there. You can download the photoshop template I put together,
