I'm wondering what the group thoughts are on the Epson R200 printer?
I've not been a fan of Epson printers and the only reason I'm at all
interested in this one is its ability to print on CDs and DVDs.
The sample print page from the machine at CompUSA looked pretty good. I
notice that Staples is selling them for $99.95 with a $20.00 Staples
check back. I haven't even looked at other sources yet.
I noticed this printer has ink tanks so you don't have to replace a
color that isn't empty yet. The tanks for one of the Epson's didn't
look too expensive. I expect if I got the printer I would only print
CDs and a test page every week so the head doesn't clog up.
Thanks for any thoughts.

Here's my experience:
I bought this model early on.
I use the printer exclusively for printing DVDs.
I did experience problems with the DVD tray feeding properly.
Epson replaced the printer.
I still find that the DVD tray still requires a little "nudge" every now and
again.
I've printed over 800 DVDs with this printer.
The results are entirely satisfactory.
I get about 300 DVDs per set of cartridges.
If this one should fail, I'd buy another R200.
