Printer for DVD's

My Epson R200 just went bonkers and is printing my DVD's off-center. I tried to adjust the location with the dialog box they provide but to no avail.
I'm looking for a replacement... anybody have a suggestion for a reasonably priced inkjet printer for DVD's?

I am guessing the 220 for you behaved like my 200, jams, tray going back and forth "seeking" the proper positioning and having sometimes to reload the thing a dozen times, drivers acting really weird (most of the time had to take stuff over to an iBook to print in OS 9) and the rest.
And so far the 340 has been night and day compared to the 200, an absolute pleasure. Only have had it a couple of weeks (went out and bought it when I could not deal with the 200 anymore) but it works like a charm (touch wood). Almost picked up the 300, but decided on the 340.
Not much difference on price, and some of the extra features such as printing from card not a big deal, but it seemed more solid somehow. The tray does not get kicked out the back either, seems more supported.
The LCD monitor is a nice plus, shows ink levels and other info right there so you get a nice overview of what is happening with the printer. Was about $120 at Staples. Will be using it some more over the next few days and let you know how it behaves if you like. So far it does what I want, printing on proofer DVDs quickly and easily so I do not have to use the perma ink markers (which I resorted to when the R200 just drove me nuts.) Have not done much printing yet of images/art on the DVDs, may run some later to see how it does, though a quick look seems to have the prints in the same ballpark as the 200, not the same as replicated on disc printing, but more than adequate for the most part.
Last thing is I have it hooked up to the DP 2 Ghz Single Core, running OS 10.4.5.

  • ?recs for "best" airport-capable color printer that prints CD/DVDs &

    Can anybody please recommend the "best" *reliably airport-wifi-capable* color printer, that can do all of this:
    print CD/DVD imagery directly onto discs
    print great photos
    has a copier/scanner/fax
    I honestly don't know if such a thing even exists? I know that I've had some printers that dont work with the airport which is what I want to avoid
    thanks

    I've just upgraded my 7 year old Canon bubblejet. I purchased the new Canon MP960 which did everything I wanted it to do bar faxing but that wasn't that big an issue for me. The most important thing was that it would be compatible with OS X Leopard - which I will be upgrading to when available.
    I ran it through airport with no issues - printing anyways. To use the utlities I'd have to connect direct to my powerbook...a bit of an inconvenience but not insurmountable because I don't have high scanning demands.
    Prints photo's like a dream...so I thought I was in heaven. Until I started printing off hi-res art (from illustrator and InDesign)...and I experienced colour reproduction issues. We're not talking the variances you get between screen/bubblejet/offset....we're talking major variances. Even after ensuring the colours were CMYK hues there were still issues. One piece of art was even set using a combo of RGB and CMYK colours....the neighbours can still hear me laughing in frustration.
    If I colorsynced I'd get one colour, used the printer drivers another, used "none" yet another colour. Tried various media types and even when using the same setting they would come up categorically different.
    2 hours on the phone with Canon and they could offer no suggestions apart from taking it back to where I got it from. So I took it there...and spent another 3 hours with them. They were kind enough to open a new printer and test that one out on their powerbooks....yet the new printer was even worse with colour registration. To cut a long rant short, I got a refund, am currently printerless and would only recommend the MP960 if you were using it for photo's or where the accuracy of the colour was not that important (e.g. if you were using it for business purposes, and you wanted your logo to print out as accurately as possible, then I'd find another printer until Canon get their act together).
    The amusing part - my "on it's last legs el-cheapo" Canon had no issues with reproducing the colours accurately.

  • Subtitles (for dvd AND printing to tape)

    Hey,
    I have found a good number of freeware programs that help with creating subtitles for DVD Studio Pro, etc. but my concern is that I want to be able to print my sequence to mini-DV for screenings also.
    Is there is a program I can use that actually feeds directly into Final Cut or program that can be used with burning DVDs as well as writing to tape, etc.?
    Thanks,
    Elliat

    We don't have Virex or Norton software in the machine. We have Disk Warrior which was helpful in the past with other problems. Should I run another check using Disk Warrior?
    We only have one machine which has three internal drives. We've experienced the same problems using each of the drives.
    We do have some video stored in the system drive, but normally we don't use that drive. The system drive currently has 70GB availble, as do each of the other internal drives.
    We have updated our FCP to 4.5, but should we trying re-installing it?

  • Best printer for printing DVDs

    I've been an Epson user for many years. But I've always had mixed results printing on discs. Lately my printer rejects the disc about 4 out of 5 times I attempt to print. I have the stylus Photo R340.
    The Epson software & support seem VERY dated.
    So what is everyone using to print DVDs?
    Any advice would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    After putting up with an Epson Stylus Photo printer for several years and dealing with lots of poorly printed and ruined DVD's using this printer. I recently purchase a Canon IP4500. Canon printers sold in the U.S. (for licensing reasons) do not (out of the box) support printing to DVD. The Canon printers sold in the U.S. ARE capable of printing to DVD's. By using Google and eBay I was able to buy an inexpensive tray for loading DVD's and inserting them into the IP4500 and find a video showing a few easy steps that reprogram the Canon IP4500 for printing to DVD using Canon's PrintCD software. This took less than 10 minutes to do and was very simple.
    I have now printed over 30 DVD's with the Canon IP4500 without a single problem. It just works, perfectly every single time! I purchased the printer from Amazon, the CD tray off of eBAy, and found the video on how to prepare the printer for printing to DVD's online using Google. I highly recomend going this route.

  • HP Officejet 6500 E709n all-in-one: how to print CD/DVD labels, on Mountain Lion OS?

    [Edited for Personal Information]

    Hi there Jim, aka @jknud , welcome to the forums
    I understand you're looking to print CD/DVD labels to your Officejet 6500 Wireless, from your Mac.
    There are normally third party software programs you can download to print out whichever brand of labels you are trying to print on. If you wish to let me know which type of labels you are using, I will see if I can find their support forums for you.
    Have a great Monday

  • Need wireless printing for Epson printers

    I have 3 Epson printers.
    An R380 direct printing via USB, an R380 wireless via an Airport Express and an Epson Artisan 810 wireless via my Airport Extreme. The 810 also has bluetooth capabilities.
    _So I have three avenues to print wireless:_
    Through the Airport Extreme
    Through the Airport Express
    Through the Bluetooth capable Epson 810
    ... BUT the iPad provides no way for printing.
    When I purchased the device I assumed that printing was a given.
    The newly announced beta IOS4.2 only allows printing on HP printers...WHY?
    There are other printer manufactures out there.
    I chose Epson because it allows for printing on DVD’s and CD’s

    I think only certain HP printers will have a direct print ... but that any printer on the same network as your iPad will work. From the AirPrint press release:
    "AirPrint automatically finds printers on local networks and can print text, photos and graphics to them wirelessly over Wi-Fi without the need to install drivers or download software. HP’s existing and upcoming ePrint enabled printers will be the first to support printing direct from iOS devices... iPad, iPhone and iPod touch users can simply tap to print their documents or photos wirelessly to an HP ePrint printer or to a printer shared on a Mac or PC.”
    So if your Epson is on a network, you can print to it.

  • Where is the serial number for DVD on the FinalCut Studio 3 upgrade?

    where is the serial number for DVD on the FinalCut Studio 3 upgrade?

    Hi Dnstreet
    It's usually on the front of the little booklet that comes with it. There will be a couple of stickers with the serials printed. I normally take one off and stick it to the outside of the box so it's easier to get to later.

  • What is the best and least expensive wireless printer for ipad2?

    What is the best and least expensive wireless printer for ipad2?

    Do you mean a external cd/dvd drive that connects by usb port? If you do then any brand will work. It does not have to be a apple brand for it to work on your mac. Most go for around $30 in the usa.
    I use a asus brand that cost me just under $30. Works on any computer it is connect to.

  • How to align printer for cd labels

    How do I align printer for CD lables?

    Hi,
    Just try-on-error. From the good old days, my successful rate was around 30% that why I bought a new printer which can print on printable CD/DVD's directly. By the way, you have to be very careful with the paper labels, they may stuck inside your player after a while, specially if hot.

  • Exporting HDV for DVD

    I'm shooting HDV with a Z1, and editing in HDV. I cannot get decent quality compressing for DVD through Compressor, nor if I compress a QT file. So I have to print to tape, then downconvert, and compress that, which gives excellent results. Downconverting to SD 4.3 is no problem, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to downconvert to SD 16.9. I know it's doable, because I've done it once, and can't remember what I did. What I'm getting is a very small image that needs enlarging to 300% in the motion tab, which gives lousy quality. Any suggestions how to get high quality compression from HDV, or how to downconvert to SD 16.9?

    If the destination is ultimately a DVD, then you should export from FCE to *QuickTime Movie* ... NOT QuickTime Conversion.
    To speed up your export time, do the following BEFORE exporting your video:
    +Sequence > Render All > Both+ and
    +Sequence > Render Only > Mixdown+
    When you export to QuickTime Movie, UNCHECK the option called +"Make Movie Self-Contained".+ Doing this will create what is called an QT reference movie. It will be relatively small and export quickly. You can import this into iDVD and create your DVD project same as if you had exported a self-contained movie from FCE.
    Note that all DVDs are standard def, not high def. Assuming your project is 16:9 aspect ratio, it will be the same on the DVD, only it will be standard def. The only true high def media is BluRay, for which you need a BluRay burner and software (DVDStudio Pro or Toast).

  • How do I create my own favorite template for DVD slideshows? I used to be able to select this from pulldown menu, but cannot now do so. I am directed straight to templates, which take more memory. I have a large slideshow, and need all the space I can get

    First, how do I create my own favorite theme template for DVD slideshows? I used to be able to select this from pulldown menu, but cannot now do so. I am directed straight to already existing themes, which take more memory. I have a large slideshow, and need all the space I can get. I just want to use a picture as my DVD cover, and then insert a slideshow. Also, when I try to burn my 8.5gb double sided slideshow, all that burns is the music. It is a large slideshow, a memorial on the life of my now deceased brother. This means a lot to me and to my family, and I am having so much trouble trying to burn it. I have gone into Project View and selected appropriately. The bar shows I have room to burn this DVD, but it does not burn.  I have burned so many DVDs in the past, but this one just will not burn. I am so confused at this point. I will say this is the first 8.5gb I have attempted to create and burn. My specs list a 7.7gb or 4.7gb as operable....but there are no 7.7gb dvds. I had to purchase 8.5gb. Help? What am I doing wrong? I have spent so much time on this, and just cannot figure it out.

    Final Cut is a separate, higher end video editor.  The pro version of iMovie.
    Give iPhoto a look at for creating the slideshow.  It's easy to assemble the photos in an album in iPhoto, put them in the order you want and then make a slideshow of them.  You can select from various themes and transitions between slides and add music from your iTunes library.
    When you have the slidshow as you want use the Export button at the bottom of the iPhoto window and export with Size = Medium or Large.
    Save the resulting Quicktime movie file in your Movies folder.
    Next, open iDVD, choose your theme and drag the QT movie file into the menu window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
    Then follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
    The reason I suggest iPhoto is that I find it much easier to use than iMovie (except for the older iMovie 6 HD version).  Personal preferences showing here.

  • Need to convert 16X9 to 4:3 letterbox for DVD

    Hello
    Can anyone tell me the settings I need to convert 16X9 to 4:3 letterbox for DVD. I am mixing other 4:3 letterbox content. Evertime I make an mpeg with Quicktime conversion it is squeezed. I want it to be letterbox in 4:3
    Thanks in advance.
    I am using Final Cut Pro 4.5 and DVD pro 3
    Regards,
    Dana Gonzales

    In addition to using the advice above, make sure in Compressor (or other item you use to encode) that you are using the 16:9 encode ratio. If you are using QT conversion (which it sounds like from Final Cut?) also make sure that ratio is checked. Unlike a 4:3 m2v which will be 720 x 480 when you open it in QT, the 16:9 will be 720 x 404

  • PO print for fax/email transmission

    Folks,
    Have a generic query. How would you print the POs that were transmitted by FAX or EMAIL without adding a new message type?
    The users in Prod. system have access to ME23N alone. If the message type was set as print, then no issues as they could go ahead and just reprint it.
    However for the POs set as FAX/PRINT, the print icon does not appear.
    What is the way out then?
    Have tried with SP01, but could not get the PO print.
    How is the spool no. found for a given PO. I checked in the processing logs for the messages, it said 'No processing log exists'.
    Regards,

  • Excise invoice Print for multiple invoices

    Hi All ,
    i have developed a z smartform and attached to standard tcode J1IP o/p type J1I0 . The o/p is comming fine when i select one excise no after excecuting tcode J1IP But if selected multiple invoices by checking the checkbox and press print preview or print
    button each time it is giving print preview/print diaog. i.e i need to execute print for first invoice and again i have to come back and again it will ask print prview/print dialog for second like wise n times for n no of selected documents .
    my requirement is like when i execute tcode J1Ip and when i select multiple invoice i should get only one print preview or print dialog for all documents . how to achieve this

    HI friend,
    Its simple.
    Put all the invoices in a single loop. I think you will be calling the smartform function module for each and every invoice. Don't do like that. Just collect all the invoices in the final table first and after that display the invoices.
    I think you can understand what i am saying.
    Please try and let me know if you have any queries i will help you.
    Thanks,

  • SSRS & Report Viewer control - Show the print button and fire print for multi page report in Mozilla & Chrome

    I have reports in SSRS. I am using remote reports. Reports have multiple pages.

    Below links shows how to display the print button for mozilla and chrome. These solutions only fire the print for the

    I need to be able to issue a print command for all

    Hello,
    The common workaround about print button on ReportViewer control for non-IE browsers is add ActiveX print control or create Print function. It has pros and cons.
    I am not good at programming. But you can try to disable page breaks by setting InteractiveHeight to 0 so that the report will rendering in single page with Report Viewer control.
