Summary: This is it.
Comment: This is the device that unsigned bands have been looking for for years.
I thought it was too good to be true, but figured I'd order one anyway given the number of positive reviews it got here. I'm glad I did because this thing rocks!
Granted, I've only printed a handful of discs with it so far, but I have been more than pleased with the quality of the images it prints and the speed in which it does it.
I did notice a BIG difference in quality between images printed on the glossy discs that came with the system compared to the printable matte Memorex discs I already had. A circular pattern was evident on the matte discs, but the same image printed on the supplied glossy discs was FLAWLESS. My advice, use glossy waterproof discs and keep your designs relatively simple.
The included software is pretty cool as well. It took me a while to get used to the ins and outs and limitations of the program, but have thus far been able to pull off everything I've needed to in my designs with few issues.
I've been in bands my entire adult life and have always searched for DIY ways to put together pro-looking independent CDs. Printing on the disc itself was always the weak link in the process. The Dymo Dispainter solves this problem at a reasonable price.
I highly recomend this printer to other independent musicians and bands who are looking to take their DIY projects to the next level.

Summary: garbage garbage garbage
Comment: No matter what I do, I can't get rid of the circular lines that are produced. The first few I did looked ok, despite the circles...but now, it's completely blown out, even with a new ink cartridge, different disks. It absolutely does not do photo quality.
Piece of junk, I'm going to throw it away because I can't find my original box to send back to Amazon.
I'm begging you, do not buy this!

Summary: Best Printer for the Price
Comment: After quite a bit of looking for a reasonably priced disc printer for mass production, I settled on the Dymo DiscPainter. (I print about 200 discs a month with it). What makes this product great is it's pretty fast at printing large quantities considering it's manually loaded. I wasn't willing to spend over a thousand bucks on a printer, but i wanted something that looks professional. I use it alongside a 5 disc duplicator, and it zips along at a good speed. It will do a full color CD in about a minute and a half. Just don't waste too much time watching it print. (It's cool to watch.)
Ink can be the real cost here, but I've made designs that don't require ink on the whole CD, and it is a real money saver. I highly recommend using white hub-printables. They look great, even if you just print a title on it, or you do full color. (Ridata white hub-printable here on amazon is a great value and prints very well with virtually no coasters.) I have been going back and forth using little to full color on my current ink cartridge, and have probably printed close to 200 CD's on it. If you print full color (especially dark colors), you'll probably get close to 35 discs worth.
I love the easy to use software (although I would expect a 2nd edition to have a lot of good enhancements/ better templates, but it's a new area for Dymo.

Summary: Awesome product!
Comment: I am a small business owner and have used the Dymo a lot since it was purchased and so far, the experience has been fantastic. It's quick, very easy to use, and the quality of the printing is amazing. I highly recommend the Dymo.

Summary: good out of the gate
Comment: just got this product and set it up. i must say that i was a little concerned about it since there are a fair number of negative reviews on this product. first, i am pretty technical with the oddish knowledge gap here and there, so weigh my comments in this light.
from box to first disc print took me about 30 minutes. i read some negative reviews about how complicated this was. just read the quick start and follow it and you should be fine.
i am a photographer, so i first wanted to see how the thing performed with a photo. i just plopped a photo on the canvas, added some quick text to look a little like a customer disc saved the project and went to print. set the print quality to the best possible and made sure the surface was matched to the settings for the printer and pulled the trigger.
print time was acceptable - i won't be doing a high volume cd-print business. it took a few minutes - i didn't time it. the result is far and away better than anything i had ever produced so right out of the box, i am pretty happy.
that being said, there has to be a way to push this thing further and get a nice crisp image without added 'grain' or 'noise' to the print. also, i saw some concentric print tracks - probably from how the disc printer operates (a 'ring' at a time). this is the '4' star rating.
i will be back, if i can spare the time later to let you know if i find a way to improve the print process via settings, printer profile or other.
