$40 per ink cartridge.
No estimate of how many DVDs you can print per cartridge.
A pretty heavy cost for the printer.

Why would you use it rather than an inkjet printer?
Certainly is faster than Lightscribe but no one really uses Lightscribe anyway.

I like the idea of it but its kind of steep. Also, although Dyno has been around a long time, I got burnt a few years ago on Xerox inkjet printer so I am leary of companies that haven't been in the game long.

Tiger often has the HPs that can print onto disk (5000 series I think) for under a $100 and ink is about 30 bucks so I would look that way for a dedicated CD/DVD printer.

My 2cents.

If you click on the cartridges they sell for the unit, the page says:

One color ink cartridge that prints around 100 discs.

(Depends on the settings.)

This is an inkjet printer. It just uses a radial print path while the disc is spinning. I have seen one demonstrated. The printed discs look pretty good but not as good as as my Epson R260. My impression is that it's a cutie-pie gimmick - spend more, get less.

That's 40 cents per disk. More than the cost of media and case. Not for me.

Im still sticking with my inkjet printers with the cis and yes its expensive . But the quality was nice and its something new (at least in my eyes)
