I guess it might be good idea for classrooms, studios or labs wanting to save on ink costs. There is probably a novelty value while they are a new technology. Now that I think of it, the disk rot concern is from adhesives and inks. I would think that once the disk is etched there would be no

Sounds like you may have purchased the wrong kind of disks. Does the label on the package specifically say that they are for ink-jet printers? Our last stationary supplier stuffed us around with this exact problem. He substituted disks suitable only for a laser printer or something like that.

Bought my Epson R230 from Mike, our friend at Apple ctre Joondalup some time ago now, $179, great printer, and well satisfied, however I would like to know how do you get the ink to dry on the cd's, I just tried it to see what it was like, but after 2 days it was still smudging on the disk

I am using the Epson Photo R230. Has 5 colours + black. I have printed a lot of CD's using decent quality pics we have taken. Very happy with results so far. Bit fiddly loading CD, but you get used to it. I think it's under $200 at Hardly Normals. Andrew On 05/07/2006, at 5:34 PM, [EMAIL PROT
