First, I must agree with my pre-reviewers in terms of unspeakable ink wastage through consuming cleaning runs. I bought the printer primarily for printing on CD / DVD blanks. They look really terrific from - rich, vivid colors. However, the first cartridges tend actually entgegegen the end after only a few prints. Replacement cartridges are but to get for little money, so keep the running costs ultimately in foreseeable borders. Who can, however, waive the CD printing function, I would clearly recommend an ink sparenderes model. The selection of CD printers is unfortunately very limited, so that you almost can not get past the Canon Pixma iP4950. Conclusion: CDs printed TOP, printers for everyday needs FLOP because high running costs.
