Mark, Matthew Leek was telling me about the results they've seen on different brands of media. ** Lurker alert! Please note, this is not a comment on the data writing, just the printable labels on CD-Rs!** Apparently some work better than others. You can call Matt at 408-246-5609 for more details. The samples he showed me at Replitech do display a difference in the ink's "bleeding" on different discs. Meanwhile, Rimage is offering several different colored ribbons on their printer, and they're working on a multicolored ribbon. With the current model, if you want more than one color on one disc, you have to change the ribbon and run the disc through again, risking misregistration if you jar the disc out of position during the ribbon change. Since the ribbon must be cut to remove it, that is not a particularly viable solution for most people — time and money intensive. Kathy
