Here is a Canadian site:http://www.blankmedia.ca/ Sounds like something like a Taiyo Yuden Silver Printable is what you want. Gives kind of a 3D effect.

From what I see, that Casio CW-75 is a thermal transfer printer. It uses colored ribbons. The Taiyo Yuden media will work just fine.

@mistycat

You are correct. There is a difference between "printable" and "silver Lacquer" media. Here is Casio's page listing compatible media: http://www.casio.com/products/Label_%26_Disk_Title_Printers/Disk_...

However, this is a thermal transfer printer, so I don't think there will be any problem using the TY media.

Thanks for that, waynekusa. I think I was probably editing as you were posting. My mistake, anyway.

No problem. I didn't notice that the description said that until you pointed it out. :)
