Best CD & DVD Printers in the UK

On the paper handling front, the printer comes fitted with two cassettes that sit in the bottom that's accessible from the front. The downside to this setup is that the smaller tray for photo papers is somewhat inconvenient to remove because you also have to remove the full-sized tray.

On the bright side, the output tray is motorised, sliding out and flipping up the front panel when you turn the printer on and initiate any print job.

Needless to say, automatic duplex printing is available. You can access this feature as well as every feature (including Borderless print, Red-eye removal, Photo enhance, and more) via the large touchscreen display.

Last but not least, most inkjet models utilise four coloured inks to produce graphics and photos. High-quality CD & DVD printers such as this device, on the other hand, usually add one or, sometimes, even two more coloured inks to this mix.

In this case, we're talking about Light Cyan and Light Magenta. These provide more subtle shades and make the photos and labels that much more vivid. This 6-ink setup produces detailed images and realistic skin tones, incorporating smooth tonal gradations and deeper, much more natural blacks.

Bottom line, the Epson XP-8600 comes at a mid-range price offering high-end design and performance. The unit is packing features galore and will let you print whatever you want, however you want, wherever you want.

Given that we've included this model in our review of CD & DVD printers, it goes without saying that the device is also capable of printing labels for your discs. Though it is just as good at printing borderless 10 x 15 cm photos. They come out in rich, high-detailed resolution and it takes the model no more than 17 seconds to deliver the photo.

It is a modern printer by every definition of the term, so the double-sided printing function is a given. That said, compared to most of its high-end peers, the device is a little slow on those. More often than not, you won't notice a difference but it can still get annoying from time to time whenever you need to print multiple 2-sided documents.

One thing that we really like about this peripheral is its ability to simultaneously handle photo and plain paper that stems from the dual paper feeders. That includes square 13 x13 cm (5 x 5 in) glossy media, the media that's perfect for social media style prints.

Like most printers these days, the model comes equipped with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. It supports cloud print, so you'll have no shortage of wireless printing and scanning options. But if you prefer the orthodox approach, there's also a USB interface and a slot for SD cards.

Long story short, the Canon TS8150 combines an elegant design with an array of practical functions. It will let you enjoy wireless and cloud connectivity. But its biggest selling point is definitely the model's outstanding printing quality, from simple black and white documents to high-resolution images.

The LCD screen is pretty basic. We've no issues with that though. Using the Management Information Base, you'll have no problems monitoring ink levels as well as managing printer supplies and usage remotely.

The Canon TS705 uses five inks, adding Pigment Black to the standard mix. Using these inks, the printer produces crisp text, high-quality documents, vibrant photographs, and various creative content.

Furthermore, the optional XL and XXL ink cartridges let you print more for less, while the five individual cartridges mean that you'll only have to replace the ink that runs out.

Of course, standard multifunctional printers can do pretty much all that. What they won't let you do is use the Easy-PhotoPrint Editor app and the company's magnetic, re-stickable, and square media to create personalised stickers, magnets, and social media snaps.

You'll be able to introduce craft activities to the family's leisure time with the Creative Park and the Nail Sticker Creator application. These tools will let you create stylish, personalised nail art designs that can then be printed onto nail sticker media.

Long story short, the Canon TS705 does more with less. You can print directly from the cloud. You can print wirelessly from any mobile device. You can even use voice commands since the product is compatible with Amazon Alexa. The various creative apps will let you unleash your creativity and produce beautiful designs.

Performance-wise, the product is too good for its price. It is able to churn out ~16 monochrome images per minute and 11 colour, outpacing the printer's much more expensive competition.

Setting the speed aside, this device will let you print much more vibrant content, enhancing and deepening black areas. You'll be able to produce crisp documents and stunning photos. Plus, the front-loading trays will let you easily swap between printing onto standard paper and photo paper.

At the same time, the device will let you easily print high-quality, detailed charts, graphs, and/or various business graphics. You'll barely see any noticeable streaking or banding, whilst the printer produces solid fills and gradients flowing evenly from one tint/colour to the next.

The 6.1-centimetre LCD screen streamlines navigation, whilst the memory card slot lets you print photos directly from any SD card.

In conclusion, again, the Epson XP-6100 is too capable for its price. In addition to everything else, using the company's Creative Print app, you'll be able to create different greeting cards, access various colouring book templates, and even print photos directly from Facebook.

This CD DVD disk printer is a very cost-effective device. As it was mentioned above, it is able to save your paper thanks to the duplex printing feature. But it can also save your money with the help of Epson’s XL inks—the larger volume pack that can reduce your printing costs up to impressive 25%. These inks are extremely useful when you need to print high volumes. This printer is smart enough to identify a correct ink to deliver the most realistic and vivid image. With the help of its Claria HD inks, you will be able to print even the most difficult and detailed pictures.
