Nice :)
My site has been up for awhile: http://pixma.cjb.net
I just wish the trays would become availble for cheap like 5 or 10 dollars. I'm not spending $50 for a piece of plastic.
Also another site at: http://pixma-faq.cjb.net
Didn't see a hot deals area so I'm going to post this here but if it's agianst some rule I guess it will be deleted.

I've never used these carts before so I don't know how good they are.
I see some problems:
1. Reflectors don't seem aligned properly
2. The top is to short
3. The tray is to flimsy
4. The top layer is not thick enough
5. The printable cd seems to have a bigger center then standard
The bottom layer is easy but finding cardboard that is as thick as a cd is kinda hard.
Maybe you could take a picture or scan you tray you made ?
PS: I had to make 4 tray to get it exactly right.
Basically you need to do this:
1. Make the tray as best you can.
2. Design the label in the cd...

1. Cost extra money
2. You have to mess with applying stickers
3. If the sticker is off center there is a chance it might shatter and detroy your DVD player
The mod is free and once set up is pretty damn easy to use. The media cost the same as standard DVD media.
and the results:
Yeah I tried it and it works well, I recommend some kind of test disc until you get everything aligned but once you do then you can just print away and make beautiful CD's and DVD's.
This is printhead life before it starts wearing down, this tells a service person when the printhead has come to it's useful end.
Basically a page with 1500 characters one should expect 7200 pages as the half life. Some will get 5 or 10 times this but the average should expect the printhead to...
