[dvdvol] cd labeling

[John Hagerson]

There are specific ink-jet printers designed to print on CD or DVD media. A
quick Google leads me to believe that the Epson Stylus Photo R200 is one of
these printers. There are others, including some that are designed just to
on media and not on paper at all.

Dear fellow volunteers,
 
I haven't marked mine at all!  Though I have bought a $14.99 Memorex DVD
stamper on sale last weekend for $ 4.99.  And the DVD, I bought are
"ink-jet" printable, so how does one do that?  Do you put the DVD through an
ink-ject printer? 
 
Have a blessed day!

German computer magazine c't tested commercial labels for DVDs. The
outcome is: *all* labels warp the DVDs and put them out of spec, making
them less readable or unreadable. 

CD labels are ok, because the CD specs are more tolerant towards
misshapen CDs.
