Can you do thermal printing on this unit using regular (sliver) cds?

Nope- it is an ink-jet printer. You much use coated disks for ink-jet. You can get both the large hole and small hole ones from Amazon.

no, you will need a laser printer for the silver discs, this an ink printer for white primered discs

I have a Canon MG5320 printer. I use an excellent program called "Surething Disc Labeler Deluxe which works great. I have no problems producing CD's and DVD's. Check www.surething.com for info. R. Burke

It is a pretty obsolete device, and ONLY prints on relatively obscure and expensive sizes of thermal paper- which fades with time and exposure to heat, and is not available in self-adhesive forms. The print is also small and a bit blurry. I would not use it for this.

They can be, but there are two things to consider. If the corner comes up at all then it would catch on a slot-load drive. Also, the inside of a CD drive can get kind of warm which may cause the label to come loose... in a spinning CD drive. If you haven't purchased a label printer yet then I would recommend a Casio CW-K85. It prints directly onto the CD. They were $80 a few years ago. Now amazon has them for $250, so I'm guessing they're not sold anymore. I can't find a similar competitor product. Perhaps an inkjet printer that prints to inkjet compatible discs?

You must use a printer that supports printing directly on DVD/CDs.I use Epson Artisan 725 (older) or Epson XP600 (newer).These printers have a special slot to insert the blank DVD/CD and software to print on them.The result is very professional, especially if you download the cover art from the Internet (cdcover.cc)

Yes. First you have to purchase DVDs or CDs that are printable. Then a printer that will print on these disk. I use an Epson Artisan 835 All in One printer. Design you disk with a program that designs disk cover that has print fonts and designed. You can also use pictures on the cover or even design your own. This is all done on my MAC.

If you have the correct label paper such as Avery. I print file labels all the time using Avery labels. I think one of the engineers prints CD & DVD labels.

Most printers have a special draw for cds so you can print them. I have wonderful results with my Epson 837 printer. Their printing software is tops. I am using these discs for my cd books.

No. The white ones can be printed on though. You have to buy disks that say lightscribe on the package.

YES, any ink jet prepared DVD, CD, or Blu-Ray discs can be printed with this system...

I purchased an external burner...a Lenova....works very well...and it is relatively inexpensive...you will not be able to use a regular cd/dvd burner...you have to use a burner made for lightscribe...good luck

Yes, you can print onto CDs, as described in the product description: "One-of-a-kind creative projects - rear paper feed accommodates specialty paper; print directly onto inkjet printable CDs/DVDs". (I know there's a lot of info there, so it's easy to miss.) I have not had reason to try this out firsthand. However, if you click on "see all [n] customer reviews" and then search within the reviews for "CD", you'll see the reviews that comment on printing on CDs.

No you cannot, there is no place to enter a disc, or capability to copy to a disc. I this is just for printing 4x6 prints.

Its an inkjet printer. No dye, films or heat involved. But it does print art onto CDS.

I have not done it myself, however, I would think you can as long as you have the usb connection. I love this printer. It does a lots of things that other printers don't do as well as the quality is great.

Absolutely! It does a very professional job. Your CDs and DVDs will look like they were professionally printed.

I've read some of the reviews, sounds fairly simple. With this stand a lone can I copy the prints to a CD?
