I would like to buy a printer that does two things:

1. Prints on CD/DVDs
2. Allows paper, envelopes, ect to be loaded and ran through flat.

The printer does not need to be a high end photographic printer since I send everything to a lab.

Thanks for the help!

Your requirements seem to be a low end photo printer. I would recommend Epson. Probably an Epson R220, R300, or R320. They all print on DVD's.

As far as flat, I think they're pretty close to that with only a little curve. I have the R800 and R200.

If you can find a R200 locally, it will be cheap and maybe fill all of your needs. A little slow but it depends on how much you want to do.

Good luck!

Thanks for the help. Having the media flat is important because I hate the way envelopes get crimped in most printers. I guess the problem is there are so many printers out there that it is hard to sort them all out.

Anyone else?

Thanks,
Drew

Try Canon. I think only Canon and Epson produce decent printers that can print to CD/DVDs. Canon IP6600d or IP8500 prints on CD/DVDs and the quality of photo is simply stunning. Its fast also...:D:D:D
