Summary: Worth the money
Review: I recently purchased this printer and I can honestly say that it is worth the money.
I would not advice you to print this on any of those 'pre-textured' cds because the printer will not print over it. The manufacturer states that you need clear discs. ( I am using the silver-silver discs from RIDATA and they work and look great! )
Save yourself the hassle of ruining discs with labels that peel off due to different temperatures and such things and go with this nifty little printer.

Summary: Better Than CD Labels
Review: I've owned this cd printer for about a year now and I love it. It works much better than labels that can come off from heat and ruin cd players. Although you can print single color graphics, multicolored graphics aren't recommended. For that you'll need to buy a different thermal cd printer, and they run about [$$$$] a pop! So, for under [$$], you can't beat it. You may have read the previous post regarding the cost of the ribbons, but that was a little high. You can get a 3pack of black ribbons for [less], that's not bad for 3 labels....If you're looking for neat and affordable cd printing for mostly text, this is it. Comes with software and 1 free black ribbon. Ribbons also come in red, blue and silver. Try this little printer out, you'll love it! (PS stock up on black ribbons if you can, the supply seems to run out quickly)

Summary: Nice printing, lame software
Review: It prints nicely assuming your CD/DVD has a smooth surface. It is relatively quiet and the text won't flake off...
However, the software is lame. It's hard to make anything look good...no pre-installed templates, no real way to create a nice template in Photoshop or the like and import it.
For a basic print job, not a bad CD printer.

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

Summary: really good
Review: This is a great little disc printer--both CD and DVD. Installation and software is simple to install and operate. In addressing a few of the drawbacks cited by others, let me say that they are minor and easily overcome. This printers prints on ALL CD's and DVD's that I have tried. You may have to be clever on how you rotate the disc to insure that the print area is clear of manufacturer's writings, but I've been successful with several different, including Sony, Memorex, Imation and Fuji. Print quality is excellent. The printer will only print on standard full-sized CD's and DVD's and not on the CD-Single or CD-Business card discs. As for the fact that you may only get 20-40 labelings per label tape, that makes the cost about 15 cents each. If I can get a great looking print job on my labels for distribution at an average costs of 75 cents total (including amortizing the cost of the printer over 300 discs, the cost of the discs and the cost of the print ribbons) then I feel I've hit the jackpot! By the way, many have pointed out that you can only print in one color per disc. This is not true. You can print each line in a different color if you want to and have the patience. Do not be dissuaded. At this price, you can't go wrong.

Summary: Economical alternative
Review: This is a nice product. Only slightly larger than an external CD-drive, this thermal transfer printer can directly label CD-type discs (-R, -RW, DVD -RAM, -R, and -RW). The print design is fairly limited and it will only do so in one color, although ribbons of various colors are available so you can choose which one color you wish. Unlike thermal transfer printers that cost 10X to 20X more, this printer will not put graphics and complicated designs on your disc. You are limited to several lines of print in whatever fonts are loaded on your computer. Although you can't produce truly professional looking discs, the results are drastically superior to those sticker labels that never seem to stay attached or writing on the disc with a marker. The print is crisp, easy to read, and doesn't scratch or flake off. To work well, you need to print on a blank area of the disc. It doesn't print well over either writing or slightly raised areas of design on the disc. This printer is well worth the money if want to label your discs neatly, but do not want to spend an exorbitant amount of money.

Summary: Cheap Printer
Review: 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.

Summary: really good
Review: This printer is well worth the money, i have printed hundreds of cd's so far, and it works without a hitch. The only thing that can be a little annoying is that the ink cartridge only does about 20 cds's each. This can get a little pricey if you are printing alot of cd's. Other than that, i totally recommend this printer.

Summary: A neat way to label your cd's and dvd's!
Review: With this printer you can eliminate writing (by hand) the contents on your cd's and dvd's. It's neat and precise and creates a professional image. You'll need to buy blank cd's and dvd's and the font is better when it is bold. The software is a no brainer and you can buy three ink cartridges for [cheap].
