I've had one of these, and it's printing ability is limited.
This is the old model, replaced a while ago by the LPCW 100 model, which was still limited in what it can print.

Both models can only print in certain places on the disc, and can only print in 1 colour. OK for just putting a title on a disc, but not great for anything more elaborate.
£25 + VAT is a reasonable price though, they were much more expensive, but the I guess the discounted price is a reflection on the lack of popularity.

The solution I use now is an Epson R220 printer which as well as being an excellent printer for doing photos, is also capable of printing onto inkjet printable CDR and DVDR in full colour (And I mean FULL colour! Even printing phots on to a disc is easy and cheap)

If anyone gets one of the above TDK printers you can get replacement ink for them at https://www.svp.co.uk and https://www.bigpockets.co.uk.
If anyone is interested in the Epson printing solution then those websites also sell the Epson printer and printable CDR and DVDR. I think https://www.ebuyer.com sell them also.
SVP is where I buy my printable DVDR for 16p each for something good quality. Other websites I'm sure offer similar prices.

In short, the TDK is fine if you want very basic printing, and a good price too in the link Salehunter put above.
If you want more elaborate colour printing, then get a printer than prints onto CDR/DVDR in colour (about £60 for one of those)
