Summary: This Thing Is A Piece of Junk
Comment: Don't waste your money. It uses a ribbon, which jammed and tore the second time I used it. They've sealed the cartridge, so you can't patch it. AVOID.

Summary: Never recieved the Casio cw75 got Casio Cwk-85 unstead
Comment: I told Amazon I got wrong item but will try to make it work, after a dozen DVD's and several ink cartridges used I did come up with a format that might work. Amazon did email and say they'd give a 20% discount for keeping wrong item, I'll see if I get it

Summary: WORKS BEST WITH ELECTRICAL CORD, NOT BATTERIES!
Comment: I purchased this cd printer three years ago and used it with batteries until this year. It worked okay with batteries but I found the printing wasn't smooth or consistant. This year I purchased the electrical cord and found that it gives the printer more "gas" and the printing is GREAT! I also hooked it up to my computer which makes it easier to use and gives me more fonts. I give it a four star rating because the ink cassettes waste a lot of ink and are costly. But all in all, this is a good product. By the way, I use TDK printable CD's from COSTCO and they print nicely (100@$22.99). However, this printer has done a good job printing on most discs I've tried.

Summary: The Casio printer: good choice for the casual user
Comment: This printer was fine for my purposes but is pretty limited and would not be a good choice for someone seeking flexibility and heavy use from the device. It's slow and pretty persnickety in requiring a very smooth disc surface. Fonts are limited too. For the price, though, it's not bad if you can accept its limitations.

Summary: About time someone came up with something like this
Comment: Decided to go with this unit instead of the lightscribe technology and inkjet printing to DVD/CD media.
I burn about 500 DVD-Rs per week at work and use dozens and dozens of source discs. I use this to create the source/master disc title. It takes me as little as 10 seconds to create and print onto a disc. I have not tested it using a PC since I have no need for that.
You need to be sure to get a media that works well with it. Media with no text and graphics works best. I've found that it won't work with certain 'silver inkjet printable' media.
One reviewer pointed out you need to use the makers own brand of media. This is not true and as far as I know CASIO does not make DVD/CD media, maybe i'm wrong. I just haven't seen it!
The only negative is that it does use up the ribbon quickly. I'd be surprised if you could get 25 discs printed with a single ribbon. I've found ribbon for it very inexpensive, so it's no big deal to me. At least you don't have to go out and buy lightscribe media!
8/18/2006 UPDATE:
I've stopped using this device. If you only label 10-15 discs a week then this unit is good. I label too many and it's gotten way too expensive to use this unit. Another problem is that the device wastes a LOT of ribbon. Way more than it needs to. A more cost effective way of printing out titles onto a disc is to get a Printer with a CD tray. They are about the same price.
