New Primera Bravo SE Disc Printer

I bit the bullet and bought a Bravo SE disc printer, for my CD production services.  I've been using an Epson printer but they seem to only last about 2 years and then start developing problems.  I hope the Bravo SE will last a while. 
 
I have a one 50 CD and one 25 CD orders to do today so I'll find out how well it really works.

    Well, the unit worked great.  It zipped right through the CD printing.  It will take 20 CD's at a time and print them without intervention.  I burned the CD's and printed them all before noon.  I have a bank of 5 CD burners, plus two in the PC that will all burn audio CD's at 8X speed so I can burn up to 7 discs at a time.  All the CD's used were Taiyo Yuden ink jet printable CD-R's.

    A local musician here had bought one of those machines that not only burned the CD but printed them as well. I think it held a stack of 20. He paid around $3000 for it and was the "go to" person for years. I died after 12 years of use and I think he might have broken even on the deal. He charged us $3.00 each, full colour label direct to disk. 
     
    I have an old Epson 300 that must be 10 or more years old. It is painfully slow and I have to push the tray to start it or it fails. Most of my clients walk away with a USB stick and burn the CD's at home themselves. I have see some print direct labels and some send them off to replicstion services.  I'll do small batches  if asked and I charge $5.00 because it's so time consuming. 
    Let us know if you see a profit coming from this one. I'm interested.

    Is this the one? Seems a reasonable price.

    That's the unit, but I got it at a better price at B&H Photo.  It is the model that prints on the discs, not the model that also burns CD's.
