I've looked for a long time for a good CD/DVD printer...problem is, most use special or proprietary media in order to print. This doesn't make it very cost effective for everyday printing. I have several Lightscribe drives, which work okay for CD's, but the resolution is terrible for DVD's... and they take forever to print. I have a friend that turned me on to the Casio CW-75, and I absolutely LOVE it... You can use cost effective CD/DVD blanks, and it's super simple to use. You can even hook it up to your computer for easier text entry. The label cartridges are very reasonably priced, and the battery life isn't bad. You can get an AC adapter fairly cheap if you don't like battery packs. Retail pricing is around $100.00, found it on eBay for $25... a bargain for such a wonderful printer. Haven't really found anything negative I can say about the Casio CW-75. Does a great job for everyday CD/DVD printing...Read full review
This Casio is a great printer for people who need to writer on discs. I'm a songwriter so I used it daily. I bought this one for a back up just in case. I've used it to make sure it works and it does. I recommend them to all my songwriter friends. I've had trouble submitting this review. The "submit" button won't work.

The Casio CW-75 is not a replacement for colorful and detailed labels, computer CD printing, or CD burned labels. Further, the CD surface must be considered. The best CDs to use are the "printable" type. If you use CD with a lot of manufacturer inscription, the CW-75 printer may not print over the inscription. You may have to adjust the CD in the CW-75 as a means to avoid the write over problem. The best solution to the write-over problem is the use the “printable” CDs or follow Casio’s list of recommended CD manufacturers. With these limitations, the CW-75 will perform an adequate job with limited fonts and print locations. At the very least, it is good means to identify your CDs. Do not expect high quality labeling.
The CW-75 is part of the Casio line of thermal printers for CD -DVD disks. It provides a neat professional look for labeling these disks suitable for home or professional use. There are companies that can label and reproduce quantities of CD's at reasonable cost but for the limited run CD used for presentations, song demos, family videos or other limited copies of data or media this printer is perfect. It is intuitive and simple to use, especially using a PC via USB cable. The required program can be downloaded from the Casio web site. The ink ribbons are not cheap but not unreasonable given the quality of the finished product. It works best using blank disks listed as suitable for thermal printing which are not hard to find with a simple Google search. Thermal printing is crisp and clear and does not run like labels printed with ink jet home printers. CD's will not jam because of stick on paper label problems. If you are happy with a felt tip marker then this is not for you obviously. If you are not happy with felt tips or paper labels this is a great alternative. Casio appears to have stopped the production of these units at least for now, but the inks seem to remain available and have a long long shelf life so if you can get into your machine for a reasonable price you really have little to lose if inks eventually become unavailable. A risk worth taking in my opinion if you need what the Casio machines offer. There is no other reasonably priced thermal alternative.Read full review
Does not do too much, but for making discs say something simple it's the cheapest option aside from inkjet. Note that it will work best on a blank cd top without any printing or white.
