Customer Reviews:

This a Disposable printer. [Posted on 2007-11-14]
Do not buy this printer!

I have had this printer for less than 6 months and it stopped being recoginized by the computer.

I called and emailed tech support and since there is only a 90 day warranty, their advice was to purchase another printer.

Do not buy this printer!

review of the uprint thermal printer [Posted on 2008-03-12]
The Uprint Thermal Printer would be absolutly wonderful if it printed properly in the top area all of the time; about 25% of the time the first letter of the title or the numbers to songs don't print right or at all. The other areas (sides and bottom) seem to be alright.

I use this printer almost every day and it works very well [Posted on 2008-04-06]
I needed a printer to print on blank cd/dvd's. I tried several out. I've tried the inkjet printers. They were expensive sloppy and the ink runs out fast. The ink rubs off the disc as well unless you use the printable discs. I've tried the Stomper and it works very well but throws the disc out balance. I decided to give this little printer a try. Much to my suprise it prints great and it's continued to print great for the last two years. It works best on completely blank discs though I have successfully printed on all types of discs with satisfactory results. You should shoot for discs with no writting from the manufacture like disc size,manufature name, or logo. They should be completely blank. If there is writing or designs on the disc surface it's not the end of the world. Once you get the hang of it you can work around the text. The key is not to print over the text on the disc. The thermal ink won't stay attached to a raised or indented surface. Also don't be confused by the printable discs. They will work but you don't need to use them. They were designed for inkjet printer and have painted surface.

The printing program that this printer comes with is easy to use. You can insert graphics if you want but I only have printed text.

The Good:
Easy to use, great quality print, compact size, good price.

The Bad:
Finding thermal replacement cartridges has been difficult. Everyone says they have them but when it comes time to ship almost no one has them. I've heard you can use the Primera Signature Z1® CD/DVD Printer Ribbons from Quill for $21.99 but I haven't tried this myself.

Also it's best that you plug the printers usb in after you boot the system. For some reason it sometimes causes my system hang on startup when the usb is plugged in. If you do leave it plugged in and your system starts fine then you may have to unplug the usb and reconnect it to get it to respond. The problem is most likely my system but I thought you should know.
