Great machine, annoying software
1. You need and internet connection to activate the software that comes with the printer, and you need the software to be able to use the robotic functions of the printer.
2. The printer reports it's low on ink about 100 discs before it actually runs out of ink, forcing you to either change the cartridge or click through a dialog box for each disk, so you...
Significant problems
This is a pretty decent CD/DVD burner for onesies and twosies. I have issues with it however. My biggest complaint is that when I am duping a large order the machine will--for no apparent reason and with no error messages--eject a disc from the duping tray and place it into the printing tray.

-- Other than those annoyances, it's a great machine for the price. I've made a few thousand DVD's with printed covers and the machine has performed well.

The Bravo SE disc publisher is one of those neat (if somewhat expensive) inventions that any small video production business (or business office) should have. Very easy to use (with one exception) both for creating disc labels and for duplicating and then printing CDs or DVDs. Up to 20 discs can be processed automatically (you can always add more) and is fun to watch (at least the first two times). The process is fast as it burns DVDs at 16x while simultaneous printing. I use discs from a local member only chain and the work great. One caveate, the label creation program is setup for print to the hub discs, you have to be carefull that images/text for large hub discs don't fall into the non-printing area (but you can create label templates to aid in that).

I needed to print 250 DVDs and wanted a burner and printer that could do the job without many attention from me. With the Disc Publisher I got that, so short duplication projects are done in a reasonable time and automatically.
Only con is that it only has one cartridge, so to print black it uses all colors combination, so the normal cartridge goes very fast and it doesn't give a totally black color as with the Epson DVDs printers.

I've been looking for something to "jazz up" my CD's and DVD's that I make at home. I'm trying to learn to use both audio editing and video editing software. I wanted something that didn't "break the bank" but yet give a semi professional appearance in what I produce. After reading and reading many reviews and blogs on the web, I finally decided on the Primera line of products. I'm glad I did!!! This is one great product. I've been so pleased. As some of the reviewers I read have said, it's just "cool" to sit and watch the little robotic arm pick up the disks and move them over. It's very fast and does a great job. The quality is excellent and the "oohs and ahhhs" haven't stopped.
I would highly recommend this product to anyone interested in making a really nice looking DVD or CD. It really works well. I've used a couple of software packages with it and you can put pictures, song lists, details about a DVD, whatever you want on the face of the disk.
I'm really glad I purchased this item and, as usual, Amazon came through with getting it to me timely and in good shape.

My biggest complaint is that when I am duping a large order the machine will--for no apparent reason and with no error messages--eject a disc from the duping tray and place it into the printing tray. Then the whole process freezes and I have to force quit, relaunch, insert the master disk and have it cache the entire file again. It happens enough to be a major headache so if you are on tight deadlines you may want to consider a different product.
