I've been using a Primera Bravo--heavily, and successfully--for about 8 months now. I had one major breakdown, which was repaired by Primera under warranty, and with a total turnaround tme of under a week(!) On-line tech service is excellent.

SOme comments:
From a very limited amount of experience with the Mac version, I have to say that the Windoze version appears to be more flexible. I can, indeed, use Photoshop to prepare disk print designs--I generally use a combination of the software provided and Photoshop for this job.

Disc printing is excellent--professional quality. Inks are not water resistant which may or may not be a problem--one can always overcoat.The same problem exists with all inkjet disc printers. Ink lasts a long time, which is a good thing; replacement ink cartridges aren't cheap.

The somewhat Rube Goldbergish mechanical system gave me pause (I'm a believer in simplicity) but I've had no trouble with the machine's mechanical function.

While you can record up to 52X, production is still one-at-a-time which translates as slow. On t'other hand, you can set it up to produce up to 25 discs, with no need for attention while you're making them.

The Bravo is not a stand-alone unit--it requires connections to your computer, and can slow other operations down while it's running.

All in all, I'd say it's a good unit. I'm happy I bought it.
