I then followed manual and removed and hand cleaned the head. The results were identical. At that point I attempted contact with Dymo support. That is becoming a non existant feature of all technology products. from Amazon.com I was excited when I saw DYMO release this because I'm a fan of their products, and I bought it based on the reviews here on Amazon. The printer lives up to expectations in the categories of speed, ease of use, and reliability of operation, but falls short on quality versus other printers out there such as the Epson R series. from Amazon.com I purchased the DiscPainter on April 16th, got it quickly and it didn't work. I had to call customer service and they said that a new one would be sent from Dymo. from Amazon.com The good part is that the software is a quick learn, and the print speed is in my opinion pretty fast. The bad news is that when everything is working (which is rare) the print quality is barely marginal. Not impressive enough for my clients. Add to this the fact that it stopped communicating with my computer after several months (I returned it to Dymo and they fixed it under the warranty), and now it's printing only in a very faint green even though the printer cartridge shows as being more than half full. from Amazon.com I don't have this but I used it over a friend's house. Its OK for what it is (smaller footprint, quiet operation, and all that) but I'd still rather have my Epson. I print CDs all the time on it, but it has the huge added bonus of taking care of ALL my other print needs. from Amazon.com The Dymo Disc Painter is a great Disc Painter for non-professional use. It is easy to set up: this includes installing and using the software for creating designs on your discs, changing the ink cartridge, and hooking up the disc painter to your computer. from Amazon.com The Dymo DiscPainter is everything it claims to be. We have used it in a mat finish, and the graphics are very impressive. from Amazon.com Pros: This is a great product. I purchased it for a project I was working on that requires me to make copies of 240 CD's. I printed over 100 of those CD's in one sitting without having any malfunctions or problems with the unit itself. from Newegg.com I have been known to put together CDs of trip photos and send them to whole groups of fellow vacationers. I've also been one of those people who compile CDs of songs for friends so that we could remember a fun get-together. These days, I'm mostly trying to keep up w/ pictures of kids and mailing CDs off to relatives who aren't local. from Amazon.com Let me start by saying the only reason I give the DiscPainter a one is because I can't give it less and still write the review. I purchased a DiscPainter in October 2008. from Amazon.com
