    I've got a Canon iP5200, which does a good job of printing onto discs.
    Of course, I may just be talking b****cks!

    Get an epson 200 (under £60.00) or equivelent then get continuous inkflow cartridges...got an epson 900 (prints CD's) myself and a few months back spent £40 on continuous cartridges, best thing I've bought in relation to computers for a good while :)
    ...not where I bought from but just a link I googled on "continuous cartridges" to show the availability

    I've got a Canon ip4200, from Amazon, which I found to be very good.

    It also came out well in a recent test by Computer Shopper mag

    Blank media I got from UKDVDR Ltd, which I found to be the cheapest.

    Do you mind me asking where from ?

    From Comet at this time last year

    154172 EPSON STYLUS R300 1 £ 79.89
    2214 Parcel Force delivery for small items 1 £ 0.00

    I think they may have discontinued the R300. Have never had a problem with Epson printers and as previous posters mention you can get compatible inks quite cheap.

    You also need to be careful when buying printable CD's. Some are better than others in terms of drying etc. Have found Verbatim to be the best.
