Abstract

The invention provides an exemplary label printer (12) and methods for printing labels on optical media (18). According to one exemplary method, an optical medium (18) is inserted into a printing device (12) having a mechanism for rotating the optical medium (18). The optical medium (18) is rotated with a rotation mechanism. Further, a print head (22) is moved over the optical medium (18) and ink is ejected onto the medium (18) while the medium (18) is rotating to create a label on the medium (18).
