How do you print on them with an inkjet printer? Aren't they too stiff to go through a printer?

These are primarily designed for 'replicators' or CD Publishing machines, which burn and print. However, there are a couple of office printers that have a special CD adapter that allow you to print one at a time with these CDs. Like this Canon printer Canon PIXMA MG5420 Wireless Color Photo Printer (Discontinued by Manufacturer)Also, you must have CD label software to design the label. I recommend Sure Thing Label Software.

You can't print on them with a typical ink-jet printer. You need to purchase a printer designed to print on discs. I found some at B&H Photo for less than $150.

You have to get a printer that prints CDs and DVs such as the CANON PIXMA MG5320 It has a special try for discs

Most printers have a special draw for cds so you can print them. I have wonderful results with my Epson 837 printer. Their printing software is tops. I am using these discs for my cd books.

They work fine with a color laser printer. I have used them successfully in both inkjet and laser printers.

Thanks for all the feedback, everyone! Sounds like some people got lucky but that in general this printer is not the one to get if you want to print greeting cards or business cards....the search goes on! :-D

I never used a printer on mine, but two other reviewers said they worked fine for that. I found they peeled off painted surfaces just fine. My only criticism was that they seemed thinner than I expected: they don't hide what's underneath unless you use two layers.

I have never tried to print on these sheets with an inkjet printer, I believe a permanent, indelible ink is necessary. Good luck.

You can't. Ink is a terrible issue with this printer. The ink levels are controlled by a chip and even tho there is still ink left it won't print. The ink usage is ridiculous and the cost astronomical. I am considering chucking it and going back to a Canon or Hp. I got sucked in by it's small size.

With a laser printer I did not have this issue. I would guess that on an inkjet printer the issue would vary by ink manufacturer.

I don't think you can get it to print unless both cartridges have ink. I keep extra black & color cartridges on hand that way, I can still print. I print more invoices than anything else so I go through more black ink. Sorry I can't give you more help.

I've used 'em for my HP C4820 with some success but you're really limited by your ability to deal with the cartridge itself. Eventually the printer refused to recognize the other party's cartridges I was filling and also refused to recognize that I'd filled a used HP cartridge. /sespite a long, tedious process of "resetting" the printer, "resetting" the cartridge and so forth, I still had to buy a new one. InkTek ink didn't clog the printer's jets and did save me some money on expensive HP replacements. BTW, fill 'em over a surface you can clean; that ink is permanent on fabrics! Ask me how I know.....lol! I've used 'em for my HP C4820 with some success but you're really limited by your ability to deal with the cartridge itself.

They are compatible to OEM cartridges. When just printing on plain paper I suggest using a higher grade paper. The everydaytype paper has a tendency to eat the ink. Soaks the ink up like a sponge. Outside that they seem to last as long as any that I have used. Use the printer a couple times a month or the ink can dry out in the printer and cause problems.

printers with direct to print on disks use the same ink as paper. T It is the disc not the printer that is the variable. Printable discs accept inkjet ink.

No, I do not believe you can use an Ink Jet Printer on these specific discs. GH

if these are the ones I had bought for mine, they are working just fine... there should be a list of compatible printers in the description. good luck! Bill Johnson JFFALASKA.COM

Sorry these don't work with inkjet printers at all. The ink just sits on top of the film. Good Luck!

My printer said the same thing. I was able to force it to print anyway. I think it is something the printer manufacturer has on their cartridges that isn't on these making the printer not like them. THey are trying to force you to buy the expensive ones.

Yes, they will work beautifully. Just be sure you change the settings on your printer. When you hit print, go to properties , then open the features tap. Now change the paper type to sticker paper or whatever option that is similar. Next change to print quality to normal (not draft, not best. best will give you too much ink and it may smear. I hope this help you.

Yes, they do have the capability to print. However, I have not attempted that yet due to the use of a desk top at home.
