Hey all,

My company is looking to buy an inkjet printer that will print directly onto a CD (not talking about labels here).

I stopped into CCity the other day and checked out some of them, but of course, none of the sales associates (looks at billa) could produce a printed cd.  Does anyone have any experience with these?  Is the quality good?  Do they smudge?

 

The only brand that Circuit City carries that does any sort of cd printing are the epsons.  My store has the r220 and the r1800.  These printers have the ability to print on cd's and have a nice little cd tray attachment thing.  
Only thing is that the cd's have to be printable cd's, standard cds' will not work (or will but will smudge all over the place).  As far as the quality goes, it would look just about the same as something printed on normal  matte paper.  

And in Circuit City's defence...It is almost impossible to have all of the printers hooked up and working, at lease from a computer.  If we leave ink in the printers, it gets stolen.  That is enough for management to say no.

What was I "busy" doing? I probably wasn't.

Like I said, the only ones we have at CCity are the epson r220 and r1800.  The 1800 is a wide format printer and probably a lot more than you need.

Also, if you buy it and really don't like it, you can return it within 14 days.  Bad thing is that there is a 15% restocking fee for that.
