If you don't have a CD/DVD inkjet printer or a computer with LightScribe, then you probably keep a pile of permanent markers beside your blank discs. You've probably also noticed that the quality of your penmanship instantly takes a turn for the worst as soon as the tip of the pen touches the glossy surface of the disc.

That's why the Disk Title Printer by Casio ($60) should be bundled with CD spindles. Connected to a computer and running off of 8 AA batteries or the included AC adapter, it prints (200 dpi) via thermal transfer directly to blank discs, putting an end to the horrors that are illegible handwriting and smeared titles. Now you can just use those Sharpies to "write out loud."
