Scott, Tony, ViLo and others:

The CD media available for use on inkjet printers now includes a silver background as well as off-white. I have used both and normally prefer the off-white. Good news, the silver color by Verbatim is now available at Wal-Mart here in Texarkana. If it's available here, it's probably available everywhere.

Scott, the ink for the R200 & R300 is expensive but it lasts for quite a long time, despite my constant griping about the cost. For $49 bucks and some change, you can't go wrong. They even have an off-brand ink available at most Fry's stores that works just as well and costs significantly less. (I have a bias against Canon from an inkjet I owned years ago that had a passion for devouring ink.)

Hope this helps.
