Casio CW-50 CD Title Printer

Received the product on time and as advertised. I would do business with them again.

This printer is overpriced and does the job at a high cost. If you want to spend $70, dig in your piggy bank and get $20 more for an Epson printer that makes quality printing on CD's.

This thing is overpriced and it wastes 60% of the thermal tape. While I was using it I took the tape cartridges apart, rewound them and used them at least twice.

If you have money to throw away on an overpriced poor quality device that will eat you up in printer ribbon buy it.

For the money, I would stick with the CW-50 rather than spend almost double for the CW-75 or CW-100. As far as I can tell, the only thing the 75 has is the onboard keyboard...I guess if you dont have a computer this would be good, and the CW 100 has the automatic turn feature, which is nice, but Ill turn the disc myself and save $50. The CW-50 prints to almost professional standards...and even though it says it can print on only 2 areas, it can actually print on all four sides of the disc, you just have to spend some time placing your images and disc correctly. For the money, this labler cant be beat.

I'm very pleased with the Casio Title Printer. It's very user friendly and does a great job. The price can't be beat.

The good:
- It prints on discs.
- It's neater than if you do it yourself with a marker.
- Speed and noise level are OK.
- Install was easy.

The bad:
- Expensive ribbon with short life, hard to find at stores.
- Printing is a 2-step process (have to flip the disc around) unless you're only printing on the top half of the disc.
- The software is so-so (it looks slightly cool, but has non-standard user interface).
- Print quality is poor if disc has a matte surface or a combination of matte and shiny.
- The power brick has wires coming out of both ends, like a laptop adapter, which means lots of new wire tangles.

Bottom line:
Worth it only if you need to print neatly on a disc (e.g. if you're a business and customers get your discs).
