ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for printing labels onto circular discs of predetermined diameter includes a linear printhead having a length equal to at least the diameter of the discs to be printed. A carrier has a planar surface with a circular recess into which a compact disc can be tightly inserted. The recess is of a depth substantially equal to the thickness of the disc to be printed, whereby the planar surface and a surface of an inserted disc form a substantially flat surface. The carrier is formed of a substrate and a member which defines the outer boundary of the recess. The substrate is at least partially formed of an elastic material having a compliance selected so as to provide a pressure on the printhead optimal for dye transfer. A second rigid member fits into a center hole in the inserted compact disc.
