I use a Epson PX700W (now superceeded with PX710W) for my CD printing needs.

This is what I mean about information, there is no mention that these printers print on CDR/DVD's etc.

Nice looking printer/scanner combo

Works well.  Duplexer is a £30 option though.

CD Tray sits inside printer - you have to lift LCD up to insert/remove CD.  End result is better than my previous Stylus Photo 950.

Scanner works fine over wifi (not tried cat5), which not all do.


Had it over a year, unable to find fault with it beyond the paper tray and output tray are somewhat flimsy.

Looks like that will be my birthday treat for next month then, ebuyer have 1600+ in stock so must be expecting them to be popular.

Check out the Epson P50 on eBuyer at around £70, prints on CD/DVD and has all separate ink cartridges. Some good reviews too.

The only problem with the Epsons is that the print head is separate from the ink cartridge so once the ink has dried up in the heads that is pretty much it for the printer. I have tried using cleaning cartridges on my 830U which got it going for a while but it packed up again.

Most HP cartridges include the print head which is why they are quite expensive but does get around the clogging-up issue.

But I think I need to get the printer working 1st

Have you heard of the utility SSC for Epson printers? It provides you with extra functions that Epson don't, like being able to just clean the colour nozzles and reset printer counters etc. Be very careful with it and don't blame me if you balls your printer up

TB are you using geniune cartridges or compats? i'm having major issues with mine recognising compatible cartridges...

I use canon mp600. Never managed to find any fault with it.
Only thing is that original ink lasts longer than pattern ones.
And the quality is really good

[Mr Skrunts]

Finally pluged the printer in tonight.  For some reason had trouble with the drivers, 3 attempts later got it sorted.


Did a couple of head cleans and the 1st print came out very feint.  Turned the print up to photo quality and enhanced colour and 5 pages of pictures, colour was vadue and suffered from quite a bit of banding. 

Did some text prints and realised the black had run out/dry.  Replaced the black cartridge and it (for some reason) sorted out the test print (as expected) and sorted out the banding foblem.

Now just need some photo paper to do some passport size pics. - Do I need any particular thickness/quakity of photo paper/card for a driving licence pic.

TIA. 

Thanks for any help offered
