3.0 out of 5 stars Overpriced "hook", June 24, 2004

By	Jonathan Dyer (San Francisco, California United States) - See all my reviews

What you save on the CW50 you lose on the ribbons. The ribbons are about 10.00 which makes it imperative to find the absolutely lowest price. My CW50 broke down. It's under warranty so I sent it back. It ruined a ribbon in the process. A lot of websites say it's good for 50 prints. However, the back of the single pack says it's good for 40 prints. I was mislead. The price of the ribbons should be 3.99-5.99. I have been constantly complaining to Casio to get the prices down. You should not buy them if over 6.99 (I've found them at that price)

4.0 out of 5 stars Not quite professional quality, but good enough for personal use, September 21, 2007

By	.NET Code Monkey - See all my reviews

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.)
