Summary: CD Printer
Comment: The Epson 900 will print directly on the cd's you burn . Some of the printers that do this cost 1k more .To write on a cd with a pen distroys it - stick on's come off and disable your player .Felt tips work but do not look as good as a picture and text printed right on your CD .
This is a find.

Summary: A Great Printer
Comment: This printer was purchased to replace an older Epson printer. When shopping around, I was also impressed with a Canon photo printer for a much higher price. The decision was made to go with the Epson because of the ability to print directly on CDs. I made the right choice. After installing the printer, I was instantly able to print photo quality prints that are indistinguishable from the prints from the local photo shop. In addition, the printing on CDs is easy and produces great quality. I highly recommend this printer.

Summary: Nice prints, WATERPROOF! ink, easy to use
Comment: I tried a canon 850 and got a drop of water on a print. The water destroyed the print. That moved me to the Epson. The inks will still last more than 20 years and they are waterproof. I held the first print under the faucet, with the water running, and it held up superbly. A few minutes later, after drying, it looked perfect.
The print quality is very good. We shoot family/nature photos with an Olympus 740 3 mg camera and the quality of 8x10 prints is very good. When people say 'wow' when you tell them you printed the photo at home that tells the story.
The software is easy to use. I particularly like the print management software since I use Adobe photo albumn and elements to handle all the photos.

Summary: Superb for printing on CDs and DVDs
Comment: I bought this printer for printing on CD/DVDs and am very pleased with the results. The colors come out extremely well and sharp (when using epson ink) on full-faced printing. The included Windows software works very well. I have had no problems with it.
You will have to do some setup work like adjusting the ink amount and colors depending on the type of inkjet media you buy. I had to go through at least 10 CDs to get the alignment and color close to perfect. Once I did that, I had no problems. Order some sample packs of inkjet media before you buy in bulk. I found that Ritek media didn't work well with this printer (left a vertical line down the left side of the disc). I found BeAll, Samsung, Optodisc, Verbatim, and Dupez inkjet media worked well with this printer.
I would highly recommend buying this printer if you plan to print on CD/DVDs. It is well worth the money.
