the worst!2007-06-15
I have had nothing but trouble with this lousy machine. It only prints when it wants to, and it doesn't want to very often. Stay away!
Casio Printer Good Value2007-05-01
This is a thermal printer. Basically it prints a label that you design onto a CD or DVD. If you burn a lot of discs and you don't know whats on them because you didnt label them this is great. The thermal print does not come off.

However, if you have Windows Vista look for a unit that supports Vista, as Casio does not appear to have a Vista upgrade for this unit as of yet. Furthermore, they dont return requests on their site (email).
Nice, Cheap to use CD Printer2006-09-24
It does its job well. Prints simple designs. Allows you to work with fonts and is fairly cheap to use. The ribbons can be bought for $7.00 each (including tax and postage), and since I only print in one "area" (the top) I get close to 50 images from one ribbon. (47 to be exact -- I opened a used ribbon cassette and counted). Comes out to less than 15 cents a CD. Casio is up front about the number of images. The outside of their retail box states: "Each ink cassette allows printing of up to 40 areas". Their manual (which is available online -- so I read it before I bought the printer) states: "Number of Prints Per Ink Ribbon Cassette -- Upper or Lower Label Only; Approximately 40 prints -- Upper and Lower Label; Approximately 20 prints". The seven extra prints is an 18% bonus. When was the last time a company gave you more than they said they would? It does exactly what I bought it to do and does it well. I'm happy with it.
Disappointing2006-04-09
Not easy to set-up. White printable surface CD just doesn't work. Besides broken text printing, the ribbon leaves black smudges on the white surface. I can't find many gauzy surface CD type ready available in store to print on this machine. Most CD with some printing already on and slightly textured surface does not work at all.
Beware the hidden cost2006-03-20
I urge everyone to read N. Caine's review here. The printed discs look great, but this thing devours ink ribbons. Anyone who calls this an economical solution subscribes to a different theory of economics than I do.

This is going back to the store. Maybe Lightscribe is the way to go??
