anyone know of a cheap printer that will do this? I already have a good printer for other stuff but i dont think that it prints cd's :( (its the HP Color Laser Jet 2600n) but need something to print onto cd's as well. anyone know of one that will do that?

Thnx

Cheapest printer I could find. Prints as fast as your hand can write. :o

i have the Epson R220 (i think). prints nicely on CDs, has 6 colour cartridges though @ $20AU each to replace. but prints decent quality.

i think im just gonna get some cd labels and print on to them and stick them on the cd :toothless

depending on what you're using these CDs for, i'd recommend staying away from the stick-on labels. not all CD players will agree with them (such as certain CD decks in cars) and the labels can get sort of melted and up the CD player. i almost screwed up the Kenwood deck in my car one time... so i hate when i get promo CDs with stick-on labels.

hmm, alright. then you might be fine with stick-on labels. there was a thread in DJ Booth today where some guy posted pics of his CDs with stick-on labels... not sure what decks he uses though.

i don't even have a printer so i use a sharpie to number my CDs and then hand-write out my tracklists. :sadgreen:

I would never, ever put CD's with stick on labels on them in my CDJ's.

yeh i just got my first cdj so i was just wondering what the best way was of labeling stuff. I had a look at that thread in the DJ booth which is where i got the idea for using stick on labels but if they are gonna wreck my cdj then i will just stick with a sharpie

hey, screw you! you put that Phil and Fluff CD with stick-on label into my CDJ. :p

Yeah dude, Sharpie.

I label my CD's by date burned with a sharpie, then print off tracklists with:

## - Artist - Track - Remix - Time - Key

Saves you from writing much on your CD's, and keeps you organized in a chronological fashion that has proven quite useful to me :)
