Well - I went and bought a 950... Ken MADE me!!!  ;)

I must admit it is rather good quality and pretty simple to use (the
gettin=
g started instructions are a bit lacking though which is unusual). The CD
p=
rinting software is as good if not better than I've seen (I've tried a
numb=
er of different packages).

Now I've just got to figure out what to do with my other inkjet printers!

I looked at the dedicated CD printers about three years ago both for my
employer at the time and for myself ... Thing is that as with everything
technology sprints on and so the limitations of the early CD printers
have largely been overcome now ... TBH as far as I can tell printing on
CD's using the new series Epson printers that come with a CD tray in the
bundle is almost as straight forward as printing on paper.
