how well does it print directly to cds?

It print on cds pretty good, for as long you use the OEM Ink. My previous Canon printer head nozzles were damaged for using cheap non OEM ink. I have printed about 83 cds and dvds without any problems.

have not tried it but stay away from this printer. It takes forever to print a page and eats up ink.

Haven't tried it on CDs. The ink went so fast on routine printing that I kind of gave up on the printer.

Although the on-screen manual is pretty complete in most areas, it is very incomplete regarding printing on a printable DVD or CD disc. The manual does show how to place the DVD in the tray and load it into the printer. What it does not tell you is that you need to download a separate free program (Easy-PhotoPrint EX) from the Canon website. This program is not included in the CD that comes with the printer which is a stupid mistake by Canon since people buy this printer to print on DVD's. Easy-PhotoPrint EX is an excellent program that contains many templates, all of which can be customized regarding text placement, background, etc. I've printed one DVD using a photo with text and it came out beautiful.

It does a great job. You need to download a separate free program (Easy-PhotoPrint EX) from the Canon website. Do not use the print to DVD/CD function in My Image Garden.

When printing to CD/DVD, do you need a tray like you do in earlier printers or do you place a compatible disc directly in the unit naked? My MG6220 used a "Tray G". If you need a tray does one come with the unit and if not where do you get it? How is it designated (i.e. B, G etc.)?

any I suppose, up to 16x. If you have a dvd + or - writer included built in to your setup it will most likely print to any blank + or - disk, I hope that helps?!

The Epson Expression XP-810 does have the capability to print to 'printable' cds, dvds, and blu-rays (bd). The word 'printable' refers to media who 'label' side is white with a verly slightly textured surface. It is just like printing on white paper. The texture is so that the ink will adhere better to the surface. As a side note, when using the term 'cd writer' it usually refers to the ability to 'burn' a cd, i.e., burn data, music, video etc., to a disc, not to print to it. But I think you were referring to actual printing not writing. Please let me know if you have other questions. Thanks!

Yes, it prints beautifully on a CD-R/RVD-R, but you need to buy a disc tray for this, available on eBay for example.Outside the U.S., this printer ships with this included, but not here.

You must have a printer that has the ability to print cd's. I have an epson that does a wonderful job!!

There is a CD that comes in the kit and you can print anything you want to from that .

It certainly can and I have used it to print a couple of CD's. You need to use inkjet printable media which is typically a flat-white surface (not the silver reflective surface). The software that comes with this model of Brother allows you to imbed images, your own text etc. There is an adapter "frame" that you use to hold one DVD or CD at a time that is positioned through a front slot. The adapter frame also stores neatly in the top so that you don't lose it.

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

Yes most files print fine. You just have to know where to look for the option in the program itself.

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

I have used 2 Epson Artisan 50 Printers & they work great on CD's or DVD's. I will probably purchase another Epson Artisan 50 when the one I have now stops working. It uses independent ink cartridges which are much less in cost. Thanks for your help

I use "copy' and that seems to work. Good luck- every time I want to print, I have to insert the disc and reinstall.

Yes, it can print directly from a computer. Select "duplex" in the print driver screen. Flash drive connected at computer should also work fine.

In answer to your query, this printer is excellent. I have been using one for close to ten years and never had a failing. It uses one ink cartridge only which is available in regular and large, the large one feels to last forever. When combined with Surething labeller software on your PC, it provides excellent CD/DVD printed labels. There are 2 or 3 models of the Primera disc printers. The base model that I have been using and highly recommend does not have a CD/DVD drive but I am certain they manufacture a model that does have this option. Hope this helps. Cheers for now Harry.

Haven't tried burning any DVD's or CD's with it but it is doing a great job of copying CD's to my iTunes, copied about 60 in a few days with no problems. Only issue is the short cord but like that it tucks into unit.

yes somewhat. It seems that the print is usually darker on cd's than it is on DVD's. There should be an option in the Lightscribe software to choose how dark to print. Even at the darkest setting though, it is not really dark.

It has no way to connect a flash drive directly. However as it can Print two sided copies...is should have no problem printing a pdf file if formatted correctly
