Cost of ink per CD or DVD print job? Has anyone figured out much the ink costs on average to print CDs and DVDs with this printer?

I kept track of the number of disc's I printed and i figured ink cost was around .75 per dvd. The printable dvd's cost the same as non-printable so that cost is fixed and money is saved not having to buy labels which aren't cheap either.

Connect printer to computer via USB port. Match diagram to actual put cd in computer and press setup for the printer. Follow directions about ink loading and it should work. Make sure you study the directions. Good Luck

No, and I think this is one of the great things about this printer. On their website somewhere it talks about how other companies make their money by marking up ink cartridges to ridiculous levels, and that Brother refuses to do so. I thought that was just hype. But I just ordered new cartridges last night actually, after using the ink that came with the printer for half a year. I got six cartridges on Amazon for 27 bucks TOTAL. My previous printers, that might not even cover one cartridge. So the answer is, NO, it does not go through lots of ink, and NO, it is not expensive!

No it does not work for CD/DVD, it only works for ID's. The CD/DVD tray comes with the Epson Printer.

I use a 730. It does great. I have printed about 50 labels (that's all I do with this printer), and still have the original ink cartridges going. I design my lables so they don't use a lot of ink, for example I don't do full backround with a solid color. Make sure your printer is set to CD/DVD Premium surface for the Aquaace Glossy. Also you may adjust the diameters on the Print CD Epson software. I changed them a little so there is absolutely no white left on the outside or inside. They look great!

Personally, I think ALL inkjet printers "ink value" is a huge rip off. This printer seems to be average in ink usage compared to all the others I have ever had. I also have a HP Officejet Pro 8000 and both seem to use about the same amount of ink per cartridge. This 7610 is a decent value compared to other printers. No better or worse.

Yes, I agree with the previous answer. It seems to be paper only. I haven't found any info on it printing directly on a CD or DVD. (unless there is some kind of 3rd party adapter or modification, but I don't know of any). And this probably would void the Epson warranty.

I have no clue about the cost, but I know that using the off brands created problems for my Canon printers. I get great results with the Canon ink, but have never tried to figure out the cost per sheet. I almost never print 4 X 6 pictures. Ivie Bellone

You need to have an inkjet printer that is designed to print on CD's and DVD's I have a couple different Epson printers that do a very nice job of printing on them. There is a special tray that holds the DVD and it feed into the paper path in the front the printer pulls it in prints on it and pushed it back out the same way it goes in. You just need to find a printer that will do it. The printer I use most because it is smaller and travels with me to events is an Epson Artisan 50.

I just got my printer a week ago. It sucks ink like a pig! I just printed a print ink report and only after 177 prints, mostly black and white copies, I am on my third set of all color cartridges. I weighed one of them, there was only one tenth of an ounce of ink in the yellow cart! That is $120 an ounce for each cartridge! HELP! I am looking for ways to save color ink. Can I turn off color for general internet web site printing? Does it take more ink to print borderless prints? Anyone else have this problem? I hate to take it back and get my old Epson back. bob

If your printer can print on cd's, I don't see why it wouldn't print on these following the same directions. They are about the same size. Direct printing opens up another world of possible effects with these.

My experience with this printer was frustrating. First it didn't come with ink cartridges (for $10.00 more you can get the one with ink) so I emailed the company and had to arrange for them to send cartridges. They agreed to a $10.00 fee but didn't tell me the shipping was also going to be $10.00. Really! Then the disc it came with would not istall the printer on to my Gateway with windows 7. I ended by returning everything and getting a full refund including the shipping for the ink. I wouldn't invest in it again. Cheap is what you pay, cheap is what you get, I guess.

Does your printer come with a cd printer. You have to download the software that came with it. Then you'll have the templet to design your discs and print on them.

I don't really know, but if it were my printer, I would unplug it and see if it would reset itself. If not, re-install the computer with the disc. I use mine a lot with eBay and use cheap ink, cheap paper and it does a decent job. For real quality, I use another printer. This printer seems to be a faithful work horse.

I have been using it for last three years. It works great. I saved lots of money in ink.I using it for business purpose, so I use printer a lot for printing DVDs.Only catch is, after about 6000-7000 impressions, printer gives message that it is about time to get a new printer, and it quits...But it works great.
