Great labeler [Posted on 2008-08-26]
This makes good labels and is really easy to use. Some people have said that it leave circle lines on the disc (due to a clogged cartridge), but if you go to print setup and clean the cartridge it will not.
It Works! [Posted on 2008-09-03]
OK, so every time I purchase anything of consequence I search review after review, but I almost never write one(tsk!) Had to write one for my new friend and colleague, the Dymo DiscPainter. Takes just minutes to set up, software is intuitive and simple to master. Easily add your own pic's to the disc or use one of the many templates with infinite possibilites to customize. The print quality is very good, even on middle of the road settings. IT IS NOT going to mimic a Warner Bros. mass produced DVD or CD, but it is going to look darn nice and very professional compared to any sticker or sharpie. It leaves Light Scribe in the dust as far as speed. Just printed off five copies of a DVD slide show for my daughters baseball team, sixty seconds per print - and no hardware conflicts, no "you need to update this or that!" Nothing but a piece of equipment that actually works as advertised. (Can I get a good Amen)?! Yes, it is pricey and probably not for the budget conscious five discs every six months crowd. But if you are going to burn and print on a regular basis as a photographer, small business owner, musician, etc., it is a worthy friend to have on your side. Has a 2,000 print life cycle - meaning it costs about thirteen cents for the printer itself for each disc, forty cents in ink per disk (cartridges run $40 and yield one hundred prints) and say, eighty cents for the disc themselves - $1.33 to produce each disc. Not bad at all. Thanks Dymo and may other businesses emulate your philosophy of actually selling products that do what they advertise. What's that feeling? Oh yeah - no headache!
Gotta love it.
After many tries, finally a CD/DVD printer that gets it right! [Posted on 2008-09-07]
I have tried many different CD/DVD printers in the past and none of them were completely satisfactory and two were completely unacceptable.
I had given up on CD/DVD printers because they seemed to be either of very poor quality both in the printer itself or their output or incredibly expensive.
Finally someone gets it right! I don't recall where I first heard of the DYMO DiskPainter but as soon as I saw the video demo on DYMO's web site I ordered one and haven't regretted it one bit.
Yeah, it's a four color system as opposed to a six color system that some photo printers use, but this is a CD/DVD printer, not a photo printer. I find its output very satisfactory. Besides I can imagine that a six color cartridge would not only not print as many discs but also cost more.
My only complaint, and its a minor one, is that the printer monitoring application takes forever to shutdown. I hope they'll fix that in an update, but as I said its minor and I can live with it if they don't.
One of the Best Business Purchases I've Made [Posted on 2008-09-30]
I purchased the Dymo DiscPrinter out of sheer necessity. I've spent over a decade trying to get printers and CD print templates to align, and NEVER to satisfaction. Even trying to print at KINKO'S NEVER yielded satisfactory results. All that is out the window now! Thank you Dymo! I used to have your label maker when I was a kid and that brought me so much labeled and organized joy. Now you make my Demo DVDs look GREAT!!! Great product, Great Company.
no vista support [Posted on 2008-10-03]
the printer performs nice, however, DYMO is not going to write discpainter drivers for vista, so it is essentually a paperweight for new computers. i have 2 replies quoted below so stay away from DYMO APPARENTLY they really don';t support it shame, but there it is.
