I have not compared the specs. of the different Canon printers, but 
found that there are more than one currently available models of Canon's 
"photo all-in-one" printers that will print on a CD/DVD media.  In this 
category, you have MG8220, MG6320, MG5420 as well as the other ones.  My 
6220 seems not to be listed on their USA site at the moment.

The MG5320 does not use the "gray" ink cartridge that my 6220 does.

There are disc media printers in some of the other Canon printer 
categories as well.  You just have to look at their specs.  A search on 
the cd/dvd printing key words do not come up with all of them.

I did not buy the "MG8220" since I did not need the "Full HD Movie 
Print" or the "35mm Film" options that added a large surcharge for those 
options that I did not need.

For those who want to create a low volume of label printing, you can get 
Canon printers that do this in a large range of prices and places that 
do not have the Canon web site prices.

I have not looked at all of the Canon line for disc media printing, or 
searched for these types of printers in every printer brand.  I know you 
can get Epson printers that do this.  I have not found any new HP 
printer that will though.

People have a choice of going to companies to create "professionally 
copied and printed" DVD, but for the marketer that needs to make only a 
few at a time, these companies may not be the best route.

Having a disc media printer does have its advantages.  You can see the 
label design on an actual DVD before you commit to it at a printing 
company.  If you want/need to hand out 2 or 3 "tomorrow", you will not 
have to wait for an order from these companies.  You just take a few 
minutes to print the DVDs yourself.  It takes more time to "burn" a DVD 
than it takes to print the label.

The key, for me, is can it look professional from your printer. Nothing 
saids unprofessional as a DVD that has a paper label or hand written in 
marker.  I give friends and family the marker type, sometimes, but I 
will not hand them out to businesses.

I also prefer to use the "thin DVD movie cases" over jewel cases or 
clam-shell ones.
