Comments about Microboards G3 Auto Printer Disc Printer:
The Microboards G3 Disc Publisher fills a primary need for my church ministry, allowing us full in-house disc production. Along with a Microboards CD/DVD duplicator we already had, the G3 gives us economical and quality auto-printing of large quantities of discs for our dramatic and musical events. In conjunction with our Mac Pro software, it is easy to use and provides flexible adjustments for great graphics. I recommend the G3 to anyone in need of large scale disc printing at the lowest possible price.

Comments about Microboards G3 Auto Printer Disc Printer:
I use this for moderate dvd publishing. Sometimes just 3 or 4 a month sometimes jobs of 200. When it works it's great, but it does have hiccups. The good thing is that when they happen the tech support is great. They usually can tell you right off the bat what's going on. If not they take the time to talk you through it or have you give them access and they fix it themselves. The only problem is they aren't open on weekends. I like my little machine.

Comments about Microboards G3 Auto Printer Disc Printer:
Use it for our church, they have it set where you cannot refill a cartridge. All info on net is very vague and nonexistant concerning this. My cost has been about .32 a disc not .23
Love the printer otherwise

Comments about Microboards G3 Auto Printer Disc Printer:
Only had it a acouple days but it's not massive, infact sits comfortably in my office. As well gives amazing quality with a single cartridge, great for those trying to save money. Also great colors, but kinda slow printing, and software is annoying. A full coverage disc takes about a min and a half.

Comments about Microboards G3 Auto Printer Disc Printer:
I have a small production company on the side and this is exactly what I was looking for. I have had it for a month and printed nearly 100 CDs with no problem... other than ink that takes a while to dry. Be careful when printing many disks with lots of color at a time.
