I don't believe in buying anything unless I need to. If the printer works well, why mess with it? Now, if it doesn't print on discs and you want it to, well then by all means replace it with one that will.

If you want a basic printer, that will image DVD/CD labels, the Epson R380 is very nice. It is $199 (free shipping) on the Epson site with a $40 rebate right now. A friend has one and he turned me on to the Epsons. The image is amazing.

I just bought the RX580, because I needed a scanner too. In fact, I bought it because my all in one's scanner just crapped out on me. So far, I am amazed. This thing prints the best pictures, even on the "standard" setting.

right i have a question which i need some clear advise on, i'm going be looking at buying a new printer, i want one that is really good for printing dvd covers and photo's at the moment i have epson stylus c66, which to me is pretty good for two reasons, the quality is decent, not perfect but not so you can notice unless you look close up, AND quite inportant, its easy to refill the cartridges, because the amount i print, and the prices of cartridges can get expensive, so what would be the best printer that can be refilled but has excellent quality, or should i stick with what i got? thanks cheers.gif





go for canon definately. Cartridges are very cheap! ik taught the 4200 serie can also print on dvd

i was thinking of either the r220/240 or the r800.

I have 2 epson R200's... both with CIS Systems... Ink in bulk is very cheap. prints are great both for covers and photos and print to cd makes it worth its weight in gold.

Canon pixma ip4300 here.. Prints good and it can print directly to discs.
Tho wouldn't say it's cheap to replace the ink, I pay ~50 euro for a full set of new cartridges... :(
I had a ip4000 before but when I tried to install 3rd party cart's it started making noise and finally died for some reason - good thing I got a new one on warranty. Now I'm not sure if I dare to even look for 3rd party cartridges now.

I'm also using an R220 with a Continous Ink System and I'd recommend it to anyone.

Stick to the epson.... The r200 and 300 range has now been superseded. Check the epson website. The Cis is great for keeping costs down on ink thumb.gif

I use epson r220 and then use CSS ink system alot cheaper than replacing cartridges.

CSS systems are going for around £30-£40 now and bottles of replacement ink range from £5 per bottle (100ml) or sets of 6 bottles on ebay for around £12 (where is buy my bottle from lol.

Or the Canon i3000/4000/4200/5200 are all superb printers, both Epson and Canon have their loyal followers.
You can refill or use 3rd party carts.

If you're interested i have a spare i3000 that I keep meaning to put on ebay 8834.gif

upgrade to the r200/300 series ..print straight to disc. it takes six inks,but if you buy a generic brand(not epson)you can buy 3 sets(18 inks) for as little as £15.
i have the r320 and i think its fantastic.
