Anyone have any advice for doing so? Also, anyone know what kind of blank disks are best for screen-printing onto?
Thanks.

you are doing it your self?

If your doing it yourself, it's no different than paper.
I wouldn't print on normal surface CDs. Do it on printable CDs. They do seem to need a real long drying time though.

Sorry for the delay in responding... mad day...
Yep, I'll be screen-printing in two colours (pink and black) onto white printable CDs. Never done it before but have managed to find a couple of tutorials that helped give me a better idea. I apparently need to make up some sort of flat panel that the CD will sit into so that the panel and CD are at the same level. Seems straightforward enough so hopefully it is.
Am printing branded CDs as part of a drive for a new job. Sick of where I am and in dire need of a new challenge so hopefully the printed CD and accompanying pack will entice potential new employers to hire me or at least give me the chance to interview.
Thanks for the advice!

just throwing this out there, but my epson has a cartridge that allows you to run a cd through the printer... did it a looonnnnggg time ago, but it came out pretty well.

it's faster to lay out a bunch, and get stencils made then spray paint. depends on what you're after i suppose.
