The reason I bought this printer is that my handwriting is very messy with the CD marking pens.

At first I loved this CD printer so much because I thought that what they called a “ribbon” would be reusable at least a few times but it wasn’t the case at all. The ribbon only lasted about 15 CDs and it run to the end. That’s it. The software said “ribbon ended, replace a new one and print again” and the ribbons sell for [$$] plus shipping/handling. I wonder who would pay for such a product? I made a serious mistake buying it and now I feel so sorry for myself. This is another dirty attempt of printer makers to make money of supplies and ink ribbons and the likes. No wonder they sell printers for less than [$$] to get users “hooked”. Agreeable that supplies will run out at sometimes and the printer manufacturer are entitled to make money that way but not for 15 CDs! That means after burning a stack of 50 CDs, you’ll need 3 ribbons for [$$] (1/3 of the purchase price) I admit that the print quality was very good but it’s not worth the money. NOT RECOMMENDED AT ALL!

I gave this printer 3 stars because your results depend on the media you are printing on. If the media you are using is textured in anyway, forget about using this printer. The CD / DVD must be perfectly smooth. With a smooth CD / DVD, the results look pretty good. If you are used to the paper labels you print and stick on, the result can look a little industrial because, unless you change ribbons between printing lines, its all one color. But with smooth media the results are clear and don’t easily come off. With a textured surface, the results are really bad. All of my DVDs have a textured surface (TDK is what I use the most). The results are horrible when the media has a textured surface and smooth combination, (imation DVDs are like this). Please look at your favorite media before you buy this printer, I wish I knew this before I bought it because I don’t want to switch media just to print a label clearly.

This printer is no frills and does a good job on smooth CDs, however it’s printing on textured CDs is unacceptable. Because the product description does not tell you this I have no choice but to give it 1 star. I bought a stack of 100 blank CDs and also 50 blank DVDs (I have not received the DVDs yet and hope they are not textured) and the money I saved by getting this no frills printer has now been wasted.
If it weren’t for this downfall the printer would be deserving of 4 stars.

Excellent addition to any system when you will be producing a large amount of CD/DVD’s. Adds a real professional touch, plus makes labeling a lot more legible (sharpy just doesn’t always cut i?!?!?).
