CD printing

[Slott]

Hi all, currently we're utilizing something extremely inefficient to print onto CDs (the ones with blank white surfaces, that you can print text, color, etc to). We're using an HP photosmart printer, which has a CD tray, the software for it is extremely uncustomizable (they only allow templates, no added pictures logos etc). I bypass this by using nero label maker, which works sometimes, but othertimes takes the CD it's supposed to print, and either enlarges it or shrinks it by 500% on the CD, causing wasted materials, ink and time.

Anyone know of an efficient printer for CDs (can be cds only) that comes with good software to design what is to be printed?

You should research new software instead of a printer.

LightScribe is a much nicer tech imo, though obviously can't provide color prints.

Yeah, lightscribe doesn't really look good for what we want. I do like these software packages I'm seeing, but any suggestions on a faster printer specifically for cds?
