Dymo DiscPrinter
Definitely one of the coolest things to come out of the CD replication, manufacturing, and well, printing world is Dymo’s new DiscPrinter. Bringing CD printing home for only $279, we likes! It is an InkJet printer that prints while spinning the disc in a clear enclosure, and even goes up to 600 dpi. We shouldn’t have to worry about that ink running or fading either, as the DiscPrinter is made by none other than the makers of Sharpie. Should be available later this Fall.
I want one NOW i never ever remember whats on my discs….
This is perfect for us indie label cats! Thanks for posting the info!
How is it uncool? It is in the license of the iphone (and any other phone) that you can’t do that. I don’t care what phone it is … if you flash an unsupported firmware to it, it will instantly void your warranty and make it not eligable for returns. So how is this different? We live with it on every other phone, but because it is iPhone all of a sudden it is stupid? Give me a break.
uh… hey chistopher…
did you maybe post this in the wrong place dude…
or is it just me?

OH!! LOL OMG I can’t believe I did that! LOL I appologize!
This shoots my lightscribe (which totally suck like you need special discs and all this bullcrap, don’t buy one just don’t) in the face.
LIGHTSCRIBES SUCK DON’T EVER BUY ONE!!!!!!!!!!
Does is require special CD’s?
I have been printing labels that look professional for a long time. I used to use lightscribe, but now my epson RX580 all in one prints on labels.
Now you can get the RX580 for $99 and shipping is free on epsons site.
If it’s ink jet- you still have to buy ink-jet printable discs. Modurn Languaj Asosiashun (our indie hip hop label)has been using thermal printing– which is awesome– just costly and you can’t cover the entire disc, nor can you use multi-colors with our printer.
I’m buying one for sure ! Much better than the Epson printers – ya you can buy a RX580 for $99 – and spend $60-$70 for ink each time you buy a new set. Not much savings …
What do you think you are going to pay for ink each set here?
I don’t buy epson ink, I get mine from meritline and the cost of 6 inks(1 set) goes down to about $20.
You can’t tell the difference between the inks either.
I think I will stick to Lightscribe. Although color is a nice thing to have for cd’s, I personally like the look of lightscribe.
Also lightscribe never runs out like ink does, nor does the image peal or fade or scratch off. The downfall I do have is the speed, for very detailed images it can take from 1-25min which can add up when you have 20+ cds to burn.
Hey Eric; tell me a bit more about this MeritLine, and how I can save money on ink for my Epson RX580; do you use printable cd/dvd’s or do you place the labels on the cd’s first then print on them? If you can’t tell, I have never used the cd printer on my Epson.
Thanks.
Gregra,
Meritline dot com doesn’t sell individual inks anymore. a few months ago I switched over to a continuous ink system” it’s really cool and I always have ink. Cost about $100 and the ink seems to last forever. Google it and you will find it…Meritline was selling them for the 580 but I am not sure if they still do.
As for the DVDs I am using printable DVDs…I do not sure labels…and I never will “anymore” they warp the DVDs and they won’t play after some time.
Good luck.
