[Hidden-tech] Printing directly onto CDs and DVDs

[Rikk Desgres]

Bill, 

I owned the Epson R200. It printed CDs well enough, one by one, but it was a
PITA to fidget with the tray to get it right. If you are only doing 10-15
every once in a while it might be OK. I wish you had posted a little
earlier, I actually tossed the printer (local recycle) about a month or two
ago. I print 100¹s of discs and I have automation and it was taking up room.
