Any of you Perth boys got a printer that allows u to print directly onto a disk.
Im looking into my options for making copies of these WA crew DVDs and would prefer to print directly to the disks instead of onto stickers.
You would know if u have one cos it should have a CD tray to put a disk into to print onto.
It would drastically decrease the cost of the disks if i don't have to buy a printer or pay someone to make em. Of course i will be intending to supply the ink.

Dave,
my printer can print strait onto DVDs, BUTTT, your lucky to get 10 prints until the cartridge is empty, and at $60 a pop, its not very cost effective!
Bare that in mind
cheers

Thats not too bad and probably a lot cheaper if the image is simple and black and white?

Yeah the disk cover does have a little bit of colour but i did think about the amount of ink when i created it. I could bring it down to a black and white worst case senario.
