Before I get this printer, does this print Images/Photos as well as CD's? All the banter seems to be about CD labels and nothing at all about image quality. Just wondering...
TIP: CompUSA has been giving this printer free (by way of rebates) with the purchase of any digital cam 3.0 megapixels or higher, just as info.

I just bought this printer and I bought a stack of Taiyo Yuden 8X DVD+R 4.7GB silver inkjet printable, and the ink does not stay on the DVD.
When I print it looks very nice, but the ink does not dry, I left it on there for 3 days and was still able to wipe the ink off.
How, do you tell, if this is the correct media?

I have the Epson R300 and use it to print on Taiyo Yuden ink jet printable discs and they are perfectly dry in about 30 mins. I did experiment and print on some Sony discs that were dull silver finish but not really printable ones, the colours faded bigtime and I could rub the ink of easily even 5 weeks after printing.

Is there a way to tell the 2 apart?

Yes the R200/300's are excellent printers for photos and documents as well with the added benefit of a cd/dvd tray. They make excellent prints of the dvd cover art useing photo quality paper. It has 6 ink cartridges and imho the ink lasts longer than most 2 or 4 cartridge printers (that I know of anyway). I can buy a complete set of compatable cartridges (every bit as good as oem) online for $16.85 and $3.95 shipping. I always buy an extra black and yellow as they get used up first.
bcnn,
Are you sure your dvd's are inkjet printable and not thermal? I haven't tried the silvers but have great results with the white surface. Dry in under 30 min.

I run a Canon IP 6000D which is also an inkjet..So yes,you need disks that are injet printable (usually white surface).WOW,30 minutes drying time with the Epson,mine are dry within seconds.

By 30 min I mean dry to where you can rub them hard and the ink won't smudge or rub off on your fingers. They're probably dry to the touch in under a minute but I never have attempted to smudge them just to see how long they need to dry before doing so.

as mort stated, i too have a R300, and i used the SILVER printables TY of course(just my personal preference as i like the glossiness over the white background) and mine dry too in approx. 1/2 hour~ :)
i have a feeling you are printing to the THERMALs which have a tendency to fade and easily wipe off(the ink-unless you have a THERMAL PRINTER handy to make your labels)
there is a big difference between the inkjet and thermal printers and such the difference is apparent if you print on a thermal w/ an inkjet and vice versa~ regarding your R200, i would suggest you make sure that you get the INKJET PRINTABLE TY (in your choice of white or silver), rather than the thermal ones which i believe are the ones you are trying to print on~ (this is just an assumption, but after a few spindles of the inkjet printable ones, i have never had to wait much longer than an hour MAX for them to completely dry~)
good luck
