Canon i865 CD-Printer replacement

Post by Mus »

Hi all,

Was quite happy with this model but after print quality issues it came up wih an 'operator error' the other day, blinked its reset light 5 times orange and now won't switch on at all.

I think it's something to do with the printhead but I can't get it to budge.

Any recommendations for a good replacement these days if I can't fix it?

Many thanks!

There are not as many, that can print to CD's, as there used to be.
Here are two, I can recommend:
The Brother DCP-J925DW
and the Canon Canon Pixma ip7250, but maybe go for one with a build in scanner like the MG7150.

The Epson Artisan 50, Artisan 1430, and Stylus Photo R2000 print on CDs and DVDs.

I just buy the cheapest Canon that offers CD printing and admit it might last two years. My current iP4850 SEEMS ok at present...

I expect you found this already. But if not, give it a go...

You don't have to write songs. The world doesn't want you to write songs. It would probably prefer it if you didn't. So write songs if you want to. Otherwise, please don't bore us with beefing about it. Go fishing instead.

I use a canon MG5250 which is great for on CD printing.

It's also wifi connectible meaning any printer can print from it just by being connected to the same wifi signal.

Cheers guys.

Fairly happy to stick with Canon - I have a good Epson scanner so will stick with that and get just a printer.

ip7250 might be the ticket. I guess they're all much of a muchness in terms of expensive cartridges and ink consumption etc.
