I got the Casio CW-75 in December. Prints nicely, but the text size gets pretty small if you want to fit an email or URL on the disc, or even a track listing...

My nearby Staples had an Epson R220 on clearance for a mere $20. I was so tempted to pick it up until I found that it would require nearly $70 worth of ink just to fill it up since each cartridge is a different color.

Actually with R-200 or 220.. 6 sets of ink cartridges is only $30.00 +- on eBay.

Really? Maybe it's the model (not familiar with it). My R320 costs about half that to refill. For that cost, considering how many CDs you get, a $70 price point would make it cheaper to send the work out to have done.

Sounds like a good solution for you, Frank. As I said, I was on the fence about buying it. For those who don't want to upgrade their printer, these CD labels are top notch. I use them and love them.

The link you posted shows ink compatible with the R220 in 24 packs for $53.86. Is this ink suspect in quality or did you not see this on the Meritline site?

To bring this back... Frank mentioned a cheap way of laminating, what is it?
Also, it was suggested that I spray a thin coat of hairspray on the discs as a kind of bootleg lamination... any thoughts? Supposedly, it's no longer flammable after it dries.
And Vance, what's up with the Sanjaya and pink shirts???
