Printing On CDs or DVDs

Your printer includes a special tray that lets you print customized text, graphics, and photos directly on any ink-jet printable CD or DVD. The EPSON Print CD software makes it easy to import your own photos, add text, and modify your designs with a variety of special effects. You can print on both standard-size 12-cm CDs and 8-cm mini CDs.

Caution: Use only ink jet-printable CDs or DVDs for printing. Thermal-printable and regular CDs and DVDs should not be used with this printer.

You can order ink-jet printable CDs and DVDs from your local retailer or several websites, for example, www.pcmall.com, www.cdw.com, www.warehouse.com, www.zones.com, www.macconnection.com, and www.pcconnection.com. Make sure you purchase CDs and DVDs that have an ink-jet printable surface.
