One of the interesting and attractive features of many printers is the ability to print text and images onto the surface of discs. The most popular printers that support printing on discs are models from the manufacturer Epson (for example, Stylus Photo T50, R220 or R320) and Canon (PIXMA iP4200, PIXMA iP5000). The kit for such printers comes with a CD with a special program that helps to develop the design of the discs and print the image.

Instructions
Step 1
Buy a special disc for printing on a printer marked "Printable" (they may have the inscription "Printable with ink jet printers" or "Printable on the label surface"), such discs are not more expensive than ordinary discs. Some models of printers allow printing on mini-discs, for this purchase a "Printable" mini-disc.

Place a disc in the tray with the side to be printed facing up. Only one disc can be placed in the tray! If you are printing on a mini-disc, find the special adapter that should come with your printer in the box. Insert it into the tray, and then insert the mini-disc into the adapter. Before inserting a disc, make sure there are no foreign objects in the tray that could damage the recording side of the disc. Insert the disc tray into the printer into the slots.
