Questions about the Epson R800

[Joel Ertl]

I have a few questions about the R800.

1. Can it use the gloss optimizer on DVD's? If so, does it make a difference in the water resistance? How long do they take to dry?

2. How much faster is it, printing on DVD's than the R200?

3. Is the feed more reliable than the R200? I am on my third R200 and they all eventually become unusable for printing on DVD's. I usually print between 100-200 disks per month.

Thanks

I have the r800. Printed maybe 100 dvd's. Water can still smear.
Printing is pretty fast. So far the dvd parts have not failed.
I don't see how to control the optimzer in any menus.

Great printer, costly to run becuase the inks don't last that long.
