Is Espson the only CD printer game in town?

Did the mod with my Canon Pixma 3000 a couple of years ago. Got the tray and front roller kit off eBay, pushed a couple of buttons to reprogram the printer and all has been well ever since.
I've been happy, no problems with the clogging of the old Epson I had, and the disks look nice.

I have a Canon iP4000 that I I did the Euro thing to and bought the tray from eBay. Needed a Pee Cee to flash the printer. I love my Canon. Epson and I fell out with the 740i and I have never gone back.

all you Canon lovers, hold on to your machines. ebay sellers have trays for the newer models but so far not a hack for tricking the firmware. older models, if you can find them, are VERY expensive.
sigh...

If you like the Epson, check your local CL. I see R200s and R300s, new in box, for like $50 every week. They're probably people like me who got a new mac at some point with the "free printer" (after rebate) and never used it.
I have an R300, haven't used it in a while, but the discs it has made look great. I have an R280 still in the box from when I bought a digital camera for my MIL on Black Friday before last which came with the printer, a nice jacket and some other stuff for free.

So I can't recommend them for anything long term. Lightscribe is painfully slow. Okay if you're just burning a disk or two. |
