3 Star Rating  "DOES IT WORK ON A MAC?"2008-07-15
- Reviewed By dogbeardbirdbeer
please pardon me, i have a question:
Does this thing work on a Mac?
(Macs don't really need drivers these days, so whether or not it's "mac supported" isn't necessarily an answer.)
also how is this different from the casio cw-50?

These printers work best on Sony, Fuji, Maxell or TDK blanks. They are a matte silver and the company name and logo doesnt interfere with the work I do. Other discs such as HP have a crazy design which cuts of some of the printing. Matte finsih silver is the key here. I buy 100 packs when they are on sale.

Casio CW-100-IH CD Label Printer works very well on PC, I have not been able to get it to work on MAC. It was worth the money. I would recommend this product.

This has worked great for me. I have only used it on about 6 - 8 disks over the past couple of weeks, but I have had no problem. I thought, from some of the reviews, that it might not work on some of my disks. It has worked on all the three types that I have, including Memorex dual-layer DVDs that have a pattern of little squares all over them. I have not experienced any of the problems that others have found.

This is really great product for persons who need to label cd/dvd. Not fancy but does an outstanding job of everyday needs. It produces both a top and bottom label with the full range of fonts. If you don't have a need for graphics this really is a great machine.

The Casio CW-100 is a Thermal Transfer printer. No, it does not print well on all surfaces. As a matter of fact, it performs best on "thermal laquer" surfaces. Amazon has the best price on this printer. Great prices on Taiyo Yuden disks (and a lot of info about the particulars of printing surfaces) can be found at supermediastore.com. It is not the fault of the printer that it does not print well on plain or inkjet surfaces. Inkjet may or may not print on plain surfaces, but prints best on--you guessed it--disks with inkjet printing surfaces. Have used this product for over a year. There are limitations on printing surface, but using a silver thermal laquer disk, even a font size of 6 is sharp and clear. If you are looking for a device for professional graphics, you may want to shell out for a low-end professional quality machine. This is not an industrial product, but outstanding for the home user. You may want to download Free and Easy Font Viewer which will show examples of all fonts on your system (keeps you from so much trial and error in choosing a label font). I do have a question, though--anyone out there know what is the difference in the CW-100 and the CW-100-IH? I have the CW-100, but cannot find any info on the IH version anywhere, even on the Casio site (where it is not listed among their products). Hope this helps.

I initially bought this to create professional-quality CDs for a startup business of mine. However, it cannot handle custom fonts or images/logos, so I scrapped that idea.

If you are looking to use this for a customer-facing business, forget it--it looks a little cheap. Move on, instead, to a professional CD printing service. It's the most cost-effective solution that I found, and the quality is far superior to anything you can do yourself on a shoestring budget. (Just search on google for "CD replication service".)

I instead used this to just label my kids' home movies on DVD. For this application, it is great. Nothing fancy, but the printing is crisp, and it looks much better than using an inkjet printer and slapping on a bulky label that is sure to peel off in a few months.

Also, note that thermal printing is intended only for discs with a very smooth surface, preferably bare. I learned the hard way by trying to use this printer on an inkjet-printable DVD (one that has a rougher surface to capture the ink). Turns out, the printer only left a light shadow of what I intended to print...it's a good way to waste $30 on some DVDs if you just have too much money laying around.

Don't listen to these whiners who complain about not finding CDs it will print on. It is a "thermal" printer and requires CDs that accept thermal printing (although I've found it prints reasonably well on non-thermal surfaces.) TDK, Memorex, HP, and others make these CDs. You just have to do your research and make sure you buy the right product, and you just can't use CDs with a lot of logos and writing on them. Just be reasonable.

I've had the printer for almost six months now and it does a great job.

I wanted something to give cd's we produce for our customers (in our computer repair business) a more professional look.
It produces text output very cleanly.
Graphics output isn't nearly as good, but I did not purchase this to do fancy graphics. If you want to do graphics get a lightscribe device.
Carefully following the directions, and making sure the ribbon cartridges had the proper tension, I've printed in black, green, red and blue without any problems.
The software interface is a little awkward, but is workable.
All-in-all I'm very happy with this purchase.

I work in a radio station. I archive dozens of CD's a day. I got this to make clean neat CD's, but I can't find a CD it will print to. I've tried about a dozen different types of disc w/ different surfaces, and the ink doesn't stick to anything. Plus, the layout options are shockingly limited, and any text of length has to be the smallest possible font.
If your choice is this or a sharpie, I'd go for the sharpie.
