    Hi, i am interested in printing onto mc dvd discs. The discs i have are these. http://www.aprmedia.co.uk/product.php?pid=3196
    Although it doesnt say printable, does that mean that you cannot print directly onto the disc?
    I am interested in using the sticky label things.
    What will i need. A printer, the paper with the cd peel offs and the plastic device which pushes the stickers onto the disc.
    Can anybody provide me with links to any of these products ? I am not looking for the best printer ever but i want to beable to just print off and put the labels onto the disc and them to luck good.

    Thanks

    puting labels on a dvd is not a dam good idea
    as the labels cause a playable problem in ye dvd rom or players.
    like skips and read errors..

    and the sticky juice causes the labels.. to come loose after a while..

    its up to you to do what ye want to do
    cheers

    because the labels are made of paper, they shrink & expand causing the disk to warp & be unreadable.
