Summary: Poor print quality
Comment: I used this with a Casio CW-50 disc printer. The first ribbon I used was black (TR-18BK) and the printing was solid and clear. When that ran out, the only thing I could find at a local store was a red ribbon (TR-18RD) and I'm not as happy with it - the printing is poorer quality. The red ink is somewhat transparent (which maybe is unavoidable), but the printing is also variable, even along a single line some letters will appear faded compared to others, and sometimes there are even small gaps where there should be none. The ribbon finally totally faded out even though it's officially not empty (unlike the black ribbon which never faded).

P.S. One thing I have learned about these ribbons and the CW-50 printer: you will get the best results if you print on discs that are smooth and shiny. Print quality isn't as good if the disc has a matte surface or if the surface varies (e.g. you're printing over the disc's built-in DVD logo, etc.).
