Recommendation for a CD printer?

[the riff]

I'm looking to get a printer in my studio that I can insert cd's into and print on them. Nothing too fancy, but I'd like something that looks better than writing on them with a sharpie . Any recommendations?

I own an Epson R200 and it works pretty good. The CD print software is real slick too. Epson has some refurbished R340's for $62.00: http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/cons ... d=63064696

I have an Epson Stylus Photo R200 that is perfectly adequate for most needs. I wouldn't try doing high volumes with it but it's fine for labeling DVD backups and Mix CD's with a little more flair than a marker. It works great with printable media.

Another vote for the Epson Stylus Photo R200. I don't think they make that model anymore but I absolutely love mine. I've been trying to find another recently actually because my girlfriend has taken control of it. I've had nothing but awesome print jobs since getting it and did a small run EP all printed on the R200 and the discs looked great. A few people asked where I had them printed and were surprised to find out that it was a consumer-grade printer. I think you'd be happy with any of the CD/DVD printing Epson printers. You might want to look into that Primera Technology water-resistant media Andy Hong wrote about in the issue before the most recent to go along with the printer (www.primera.com).

Let us know what you end up getting.
