    Printing on CDs

    😇 😀 That accolade is safe with you guys! Thanks for the link to the manual, (and always good to have anyway). I'm thinking of doing some cleaning first, to absorb excess ink from the area. Is that pointless? (Knowing that disassembly is not going to be quick or easy.) Oh, and, is it bad to...
