While it might not be quite as creative as spending hours scouring magazines for that perfect cut and paste cover for your newest teenage crush mix tape, the DYMO DiscPainter does make things easier. Two lousy minutes worth of printing lends a semi-professional look to any DVD or CD made for inkjet printing.
Overall I was pleased with the final image quality given that there is only one ink cartridge doing all the work. If you look closely you can sometimes spy the concentric rings left behind from DYMO's RadialPrint technology. But at arms length most users would be hard pressed to complain about the quality of most print jobs.
Some folks may find the buy-in for the DiscPainter prohibitive for a printer that only serves one purpose. But then those who don't regularly spend hours laying out stunning cover art for their music, picture or movie discs won't really care what their labels look like anyhow. For the truly dedicated album artist, the time saved and end result might easily override the ~$250 price tag plus the cost of replacing ink.
