    Save yourself from problems in the future - do not use labels on your DVDs - CDs - OK

    take a tip from someone who used to put labels on all my dvd's 100 percent failure rate. if you must print get a printer like epson 200 that prints on printable dvds. works great no failures on quality media like verbatim or taiyo yuden. after many disasters this is all i use. i've made all the mistakes. would like to keep you from doing the same

    Look into the Canon Pixma ip4000 european version... Epson is the only printer that prints directly to DVD/CD in US, and Canon is the only one for Europe...

    WOW! I got a Canon Pixma 4200... omg... it rocks... its a nice lil printer... you can load the paper from the top or bottom... the printing is great, even on the lowest quality... Easy setup... It doesnt have like a million prints, but its awesome... $200AUD... i recommend you get one...

    if it prints on the cd great. but remember under no circumstances should you put a stick on label on a dvd
