 Awesome Printer October 27, 2008
Tom L. Stevens (Houston, Texas)
This has been an amazing product over the past couple of months. I purchased this Autoprinter for a new business that will print and duplicate about 100-200 cd's per month, and this fits the bill! It is more convenient, allows me to try out more designs, and lets me spend less money (because I don't have to get 1000 of them printed by some bigger company).
The print quality is amazing, but keep in mind one thing. I use the hydroshield CD's that are smudge proof, not just any ordinary CD, so I don't know how a regular CD will turn out.
The only negative would be the ink, a common complaint I am sure. The inital ink pack was used up in just over 100 CD's but I got a mega ink pack to replace it that should last much longer. I would highly recommend this to anyone wanting a professional looking CD on an affordable printer.
Time-Saving, Good Looking & Cheap CD Labels From Bravo II August 30, 2008

Primera Bravo II AutoPrinter 62715 All-in-One CD/DVD Printing SystemIn the month I have owned it, this ingenious machine has produced 480 labelled CDs without a glitch and without using up an ink cartridge (despite printing titles & detailed track listings). Its automation lets me eat, read and do other work while it prints. (Or if you have nothing else to do with your time, just watching it perform is fun, especially if you enjoy Rube Goldberg.) Blank printable media are less than half the price of those needed for LiteScribe, and the results are more pleasing. On-screen instructions are not 100% self explanatory (at least for me), so allow time on day-one for trial and error learning. (You don't need to waste any discs for this, because what you see on the screen is exactly what you get.) This is a fine machine and worth the steep price.
 not bad August 25, 2008

This is only a DVD printer, so the all-in-one seems a bit misleading as a title. But, it does a good job of printing the discs, and it's nice to be able to start them and let them go for a while.
I actually printed at the lowest quality and lower than average intensity, and the product still looked very good.
The reason I did that, however, is because ink for this machine is expensive, and just doesn't last that long. So, keep that in mind when you're considering. Otherwise, though I did have to download the driver for my OS, I've had no problems and been happy with the results.
 Not perfect, but a good product July 18, 2008

No major complaints. Set it and forget it. It works in the background.
Some improvements I'd like to see: 1) Disc burns could be faster. I'm burning CD's, which takes at least five minutes per disc. 2) The included driver didn't work for Mac Leopard, but Primera's customer support was great. A real person answered the phone, they were fast, and they solved the problem with an updated program. 3) With every job, the burning program automatically selects the computer's default printer and not the duplicator printer. It should default to its own printer rather than the user having to select it every print job.
These things are not "deal breakers." It's just nice to know that before the purchase is made.
 Great printer, very poor mac driver support December 14, 2007
Amazon Fan (Boulder, CO USA)
This is an excellent printer. Disk handling robotics have been reliable and the print engine turns out very good quality print. Since I use the printer on an Apple system the lack of a current Mac print driver is a critical failing. When I use the printer on my Mac it is not possible to align the disk and print heads because the driver apparently normally stores the settings - since the driver was written for the old MAC processors and operating systems, it must run in Rosetta mode which leads to many problems one of which is its inability to store and recall any settings. Also there are alignment issues, print boundary issues, random change of system default printers, operation in kiosk mode when there is no kiosk tray and many others. When I contacted Primera with these issues they were "unable" to explain the problem. When I contacted my CD/DVD print program supplier, they explained the driver issues very quickly (even though they have no responsibility for the drivers - this is the job of the hardware mfg.) When I then asked Primera about the driver I was told to just check back "later" to see if there was a new driver (not exactly the level of support I would expect from a printer mfg for a current product on a current OS.) The last driver update appears to have been in 2005. I would not recommend buying this device for use with a Mac unless a new driver is also supplied.
