    Default needing a new printer

    had my current printer bout 3 yrs now an epson r220. i cant really print onto disc anymore as it keeps jamming. (driving me bloody nuts)

    think a new one might be in order and i would like to stick to epson as compatable ink cheap. i need one that can print onto discs.

    can anyone recommend one?

    cheers

    Its nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice

    I got an Epson P50.

    Prints to disc and CIS works very well. Not cheapish but there's not a fantastic range of printers that do disc printing anymore.

    Printer-scanner-copier crap seems to be the way they are going now.

    Lainie i would stick with epsom as they always give value for money with ink prices- Have a look around pc worls, tesco etc as there is good prices on wi-fi printers just now. Ps also heard that laser printers are becoming much cheaper so check them out too.

    I use an Epson P50 myself. Don't do a great deal of disk printing, but wanted to keep the function so I don't have to use labels when I backup my files to DVD.

    It's a good work horse. Picked mine up cheap on ebay...it had been heavily used for disk printing by naughty people. Despite this it's never let me down.

    Full set of compatible inks cost me ?7
