I'm happy with it - I only use it for a bit of text in an appropriate font, for that its pretty good.

I'll post some pics when I manage to get some discs printed of the current project I'm working on. :)

You just need to look for 'thermal printable' media. For the little Casio printer even the branded media will do so long as it's got an area with no screen printing on it large enough for what you want to print.

Inkjet printable media is bad news in thermal printers.

meritline.com sells both types, and they make it pretty easy to tell which is which on their web site.

To 2Road,
How good is that R-300? That's the only DVD printer in my price range. I already get the feeling you're not that happy with it. Does' it print clear images? How about the lettering? Does it look blurry or clear? I would like some feedback on this because every other DVD printer is way out of my range.

Continuing to stray off the subject...

I'm not endorsing this product, but I received this link today:

Looks decent enough to me, especially for the price ($139).
But I've never printed on DVD's, so I don't know if it's a good product.

Thanks Lanzaedit,
I've never heard of that one. I'ts thermal and I know nothing about thermal except that my receipts from gas stations are thermal and they fade out in a few weeks. I was really interested in the Epson stylus R-200 which is $99. and is an ink jet printer I think I'll post this question directly.

I bought the Epson R200 and it does a pretty good job. I have printed about 10 DVD,s
so far.
Sometimes a little tricky feeding the CD's but not too bad.
I have so far gotten media from
http://meritline.com/beall-dvd-blank-media.html
and am testing on various players. DVD-R.
Ritek was sold out but maybe they have them now.
My burner is Sony DRU510

I suppose this thread belongs in DVDArchitect forum...

Thanks MoNa,
I have actually ordered from Meritline too. I tried the Beall's, because the info at the site claimed that NASA used them for backup and that they had a 100 year lifespan ( ha ha). I didn't have any problems with them except I can't prove the claim about NASA. I'm sure the question is posted here because hardly anybody goes to the other sections. I posted a question in the AC3 section about a week ago and it's only moved down 3 spaces. I use Pioneer A05 burner. I already like your answer about the R-200 printer. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't going to look pixelated or blurry or that the printing would look cheesy.

My Epson R300 has performed very well. Does beautiful DVD/CD on inkjet printables. I haven't really had to tweak anything. I just use quality images from a Canon S400 (kept in pocket now specifically for shooting disc photo's) and I leave the printer software color saturation level right in the middle. Prints nicely, dries quickly.

I almost got the lower priced R200 but I feel the LCD screen makes the R300 easier to use and I'm thinking the memory card printing feature might make me a few coins at some point.

I also noticed the tray sometimes has to be refed to get the printer to print the disc. Nice thing is the printer will not put any ink on the disc until it is squarely centered so you don't get any ruined discs. To those who have these printers, I have found that mine feeds better when I move the tray in slightly past the recommended matching arrow.

I'm assuming yours is the R-300 that retails for $179. oops, just checked. The R-300M for $220. retail, has the LCD screen. Yeah, I might have to wait a while for higher quality. But I really hate my handwriting and I need something. The R-200 might have to do.

I have the R300 that has an LCD screen for functional purposes but does not have the LCD monitor like the R300M. It has the ports to attach that but I can do without that for now.
