I use canon IP4600 which has a draw/holder for printing on CD/DVD's which have a special white finish for inket printers.

Have also used the "stick-on" printer sheets where you print onto an A4 sheet and then stick the label onto the disc.

You do have to take care with this that it goes on neatly and that it's all securely stuck - don't want it coming loose while playing


I also have and sometimes use lightscribe ... it is handy BUT .. it's limited in it's colour range .. basically it etches the design onto the special disks.

Last time I used it you basically etched a greyish/brown design onto the disk .. means you have to choose the design carefully as all you really get are shades of the same colour.

If all you want is a simple title and maybe a single logo etc, it would work well and the only additional cost is the extra for the special disks.

Think I did read somehwere they were trying to update it so the colour range was expanded .. not sure if they did.

ps .. just checked .. they did .. you can now get the disks in different colours .. but .. it still looks like the finished article is limited in the colour range it can produce .. it doesn't look like you get for example a single picture going from say pure white to deep red and maybe yellow ..
