casio ink ribbon.......2007-10-20
amazon is the best place to buy casio ribbons, the very bast price on the internet, fast shipping,you get new ribbons,"not refils" good deals.
Not quite professional quality, but good enough for personal use.......2007-09-21
These ribbons are quite good. The printing is crisp, and they are very easy to use. They are great for how I use them, just labeling DVDs of my kids' movies.
Note, though, that the description is a little incomplete. From the box it says they work with all CW series title printers (not just CW-50 and CW-75, as mentioned here). I have the CW-100, and they work just fine.
Two words of caution:
1. These thermal printers require a *very* smooth surface, preferably a completely bare CD/DVD. I learned the hard way by trying it on inkjet-writable DVDs that have a rougher surface...it just leaves a light shadow of the intended text.
2. Don't expect these these to perform like professional-grade CD/DVD printers. They work best only for standard, monochrome (single color) text. Custom fonts and images won't turn out well, especially larger text/images. (That leaves horizontal streaks--I think it's from where the ribbon overlaps itself when making subsequent passes.)
Casio TR-18Black Ribbon.......2007-08-10
THis is a ribbon for the Casio CW-50 and CW-75 CD Title Writers. It works perfectly on my CW-50.
Prints on smooth disks only.......2007-07-11
Won't print on rough surfaces (ink printable). I knew this ahead of time, but I got a deal on 1000 Verbatim 4x white printable and wish I could use this on them. Taiyo-Yuden silvertops are the best made, and this printer works great on them.
I get about 50 prints out of this using the keyboard (CW-75) and never trying the software. I bought this for $3.99 from an Amazon seller for black. Ive seen 3-packs in the store for over $20 which I would never pay.
If I hadnt found a ribbon here for $4, my Casio would still be sitting in its box. Get with the times, Casio, you already got us on the $99+ cost of the product which has a short lifespan, give us a break on the refills!
Great product.......2007-04-05
The cartridge was what I wanted. You shipped it quickly. I will order from you again.

the worst!.......2007-06-16
I have had nothing but trouble with this lousy machine. It only prints when it wants to, and it doesn't want to very often. Stay away!
Casio Printer Good Value.......2007-05-01
This is a thermal printer. Basically it prints a label that you design onto a CD or DVD. If you burn a lot of discs and you don't know whats on them because you didnt label them this is great. The thermal print does not come off.
However, if you have Windows Vista look for a unit that supports Vista, as Casio does not appear to have a Vista upgrade for this unit as of yet. Furthermore, they dont return requests on their site (email).
Nice, Cheap to use CD Printer.......2006-09-24
It does its job well. Prints simple designs. Allows you to work with fonts and is fairly cheap to use. The ribbons can be bought for $7.00 each (including tax and postage), and since I only print in one "area" (the top) I get close to 50 images from one ribbon. (47 to be exact -- I opened a used ribbon cassette and counted). Comes out to less than 15 cents a CD. Casio is up front about the number of images. The outside of their retail box states: "Each ink cassette allows printing of up to 40 areas". Their manual (which is available online -- so I read it before I bought the printer) states: "Number of Prints Per Ink Ribbon Cassette -- Upper or Lower Label Only; Approximately 40 prints -- Upper and Lower Label; Approximately 20 prints". The seven extra prints is an 18% bonus. When was the last time a company gave you more than they said they would? It does exactly what I bought it to do and does it well. I'm happy with it.
Disappointing.......2006-04-09
Not easy to set-up. White printable surface CD just doesn't work. Besides broken text printing, the ribbon leaves black smudges on the white surface. I can't find many gauzy surface CD type ready available in store to print on this machine. Most CD with some printing already on and slightly textured surface does not work at all.
Beware the hidden cost.......2006-03-21
I urge everyone to read N. Caine's review here. The printed discs look great, but this thing devours ink ribbons. Anyone who calls this an economical solution subscribes to a different theory of economics than I do.
This is going back to the store. Maybe Lightscribe is the way to go??
