Have only used it once, so far, but it was easy to setup (Windows 10) and use and the printed disc looks very good.

I like the discpainter but since they have discontinued making it there set up is difficult on newer windows. I also found that it takes quite a bit of ink and runs slowly. So you can take a few hours to do multiple copies. But I like the quality of the print out. You also have to be careful of which printable disks you use as not all of them work well.

I picked one of these up on eBay and, after I fixed it, I fell in love with it. The software works well with the old Windows XP operating system, and I've now installed it on two Windows 10 systems I have. Both the software and the disc printer work like a champ. I have a video posted on Youtube that shows it printing a CD. It takes less than two minutes! That's on the "normal" print setting. I have printed one or two on the better setting, but I don't find it necessary for my media. I've printed over 30 discs, and the cartridge is showing just over half-way used. I haven't used a full cartridge yet, so I don't really know how accurate that measure is. The cartridges are still selling on websites and on eBay. I have not tried the Primera Bravo SE cartridges that another reviewer suggested, as the original Dymo cartridges are still available and are selling for less. That being said, the inner packaging of both looks as if they are made by the same manufacturer. One thing you need to be aware of is that the radial print technology means that the printer spins the disc while printing on it. I have found media that doesn't work well with radial printing and results in swirled images on the disc. Media that I've found works well is the Verbatim discs. Memorex media seems to be good, too. I've printed CDs, DVDs and Blu-rays without any problem on Verbatim. But, if you print on media and get swirled images, it's probably not the printer. Try different media before blaming the printer. I do recommend that you burn your media before you print on it. Printing costs ink and $$. Discs have gotten to be very cheap. One last point, and it's important. You're probably not going to use a full cartridge in the course of a few weeks or a month. When you get a new cartridge, save the plastic bit that's used to cover the print head. DO NOT USE TAPE ON THE PRINT HEAD! Put it back on when you aren't going to use the printer for a while and put the cartridge in a plastic zip-loc bag. Store the cartridge standing up (not on its side). Do not put it in the freezer (freezing might actually dry the cartridge out, and we don't know what freezing does to inkjet cartridges). For the final years of rotational media (before CDs, DVDs, and Blu-rays disappear), pick one of these up and make your stuff look professional. UPDATE: I recently tried the Primera Bravo SE cartridge (53332), and it is not the same as the Dymo cartridge (very close, even down to the pins). But, the two flanges on the top are in opposite directions, making it hard to put the cartridge lid down; and the printer reports that the cartridge is bad. If anyone has tried another print cartridge that works, please let me know. For the moment, there are plenty of Dymo cartridges popping up on eBay that I'm not concerned.Read full review

OK I bought this to make my companies dvd's and cd's that we are sending to customers look better. I do like that it does just that, but the one thing that I have noticed is that it will NOT write on just any disk. You really need to buy disk's that are ink jet ready or printable. I tried this on a disk that was did not say that it is printable, and the ink just came off on my hand. Once you do this one time, you will buy the printable disks. Now the next thing is the software is not as easy to use as they make it look, but you can work with it, and with time it is easier to use, just like any software. Would I pay full price, no, but it is well worth buying one used on Ebay. Thanks
This printer cannot be setup with 64 bit Windows as the setup program only works on a 32 bit system. Windows 64 bit can run 32 bit programs but The setup program refuses to install it on my 64 bit machine. Dymo no longer supplies any tech support for this product and stopped making replacement ink cartridges for it. I read online that a certain Lexmark cartridge would work with a tab cut off but haven't confirmed that it does. I can't comment on the print quality as I have yet to print any disks. I wish that I had not purchased it. I have offered it for sale for less than I paid but after 2 listings, I haven't received a single bid.
