Had a R300 and done 100's of CD's without no bother, apart from buying some real cheap dodgy cartridges and they just didn't work. Now I just use Datawrite cartridges and they are cheap and reliable.

To print of my covers and print disks i use both an Epson R200 and R300

Never had one problem with the R200 but the R300 has been nothing but bother from only printing half a cover then stopping to blocked heads all the time 

Love the results these printers give thoug and the fact i can buy a set of 6 carts for only £4.99 also goes in there favour

Just wondered what other people use

I USE A CANNON PIXMA 1500 INK REALLY CHEAP

[forkndave]

I use an Epson R200 and I've had a couple of R300s in the past. If you live in the US, you're going to use an Epson if you want to print on discs. Canon doesn't sell anything here that will. I like the Epson printers OK. They've always worked well for me. Ink is expensive if you use genuine Epson ink. I use aftermarket ink for about 20-25% of the Epson price. Works as good as the Epson stuff. It looks like ink may be a little cheaper in the UK. I just bought 5 sets (30 cartridges) for $83.25 and that's about as cheap as they get here.

I still own a hp1110 all in one

But the cost of ink is far to dear and thats why I bought an epson 

I need to find a cheaper ink supplier because i'm getting 2 sets of ink 4r the epson at a cost of £23.00 for both sets and I was told i can get them cheaper,,,but havent a clue where to look

Any help would be most grateful...........

[liarnna]

What has everybody been saying about the R300 like what normaly goes wrong with it, i just want to no before mine does it so i no what it is lol
Thanks

With all epson printers they have a print counter. When that reaches a certain number of prints ( i think its around 9000, anybody corrrect me if i am wrong) the printer will stop working. You will need to call out an Epson service engineer who will run a program that will reset the printer. Once he has done this the printer will work again and so the cycle begins.

You can however, download the program that Epson uses (if you know where to look ) and reset the printer yourself. Obviously Epson dont want you to and your not actually supposed to have access to the program.

The program also has handy things like deep head cleaning etc.

It is the proper program that the Epson service engineers use to fix a multitude of things on your printer. If they cant fix it using this program they often give you either a brand new one or a refurbished one.

[liarnna]

P.S

The program used is called SSC Service Utility 3.80

Just in case anyone may want to google it

[shaka]

I use the Epson R200 have printed 100's yes 100's of covers and discs with no problems and yes your right about the counter and the SSC disc which i have if anyone wants a copy send me a mail and i'll through it in the post.
