DVD printers are used to print graphics and text on the backside of a DVD disk. These devices enable printing of variable data and images on each individual disc, regardless of the number produced by using inkjet, thermal, or laser printers. High-end DVD printers- that use "all-digital imaging" process can also print labels for any format of optical disc media such as a DVD.

Single disk DVD printers are used in domestic households and small offices that have limited DVD printing requirements. These printers are usually manually operated and print one DVD at a time. They use screen-printing technique, which is the same technology used in printing graphic images on textile-based products. In this technique, a thick layer of ink is poured onto a stencil and the surplus ink is removed, forcing the remaining ink through the holes in the stencil to create the required image on the surface of the disc.

Commercial DVD printers are used by duplication and replication companies to print customized images or text as specified by the client. These printers use advanced robotics to load DVDs automatically in the printer. Designs and text is preloaded into a computer, which is connected to the DVD printers.

Some automated DVD printers do not require PCs to operate. A CD-ROM drive is preinstalled in these printers for loading print files (PRN) onto the internal hard drive. Other features include ink detection system, which is used to check exactly how much ink is left in the cartridges. The detection system can also be programmed to automatically shut down printing operations if ink level falls below a certain point. This utility helps in reducing disk wastage due to dried up ink cartridges.

DVD printers can be connected to a network of computers for processing printing orders received from any device present in the network. This helps in reducing cost as a single printer takes care of all the printing needs of the organization.
