"Could someone tell me how long it actually takes to burn the image?"It takes about 24-27 minutes for a full CD (or DVD) image and about 4-10 minutes for just text. In other words, forever.
Sweet. And yes, media is a bit pricey right now... But this is still cool.digitaltrav: I'm not sure it would really be in "black and white"... It may produce a kind of Microsoft-Windows-CD-effect. :S
I think that is so frickin sweet...I want one! I just don't want to pay the $5 a pop for the disks....maybe in a year the price will be much lower. Yeah I know....call me cheap.
This is really old, a few months now. It takes forever too. I installed one of these for a friend a few months ago. Its not worth the time it takes to burn the images. An image like the one in the pic would take upwards of 1.5 hours.
I cant believe people are buying into this. Like others have said...Expensive media + poor image quality + outrageous print times = horrible idea.Maybe if they develop the tech to allow colour, and faster 'scribes' it would be worth the extra cash. As it is now, the only people i can see using this, are those that dont know about Epsons CD printer.
Epson printers blow, maybe that's why I won't buy one. Plus that ink fades over time as well.Poor image quality my ass, the discs look really good actually. Though color would be nice, as would faster burn times.
