[MacDV] 2 questions

[Judy Naylor]

Hi Mary Ann,

I have an idea for your printer question.  I work at a PEG access studio and 
for our dub requests from the community, we use a Primera Bravo SE to print 
directly on the DVD.  We get about 100 disks printed from 1 ink cartridge, 
but your results might be different depending on the design and the print 
quality you choose.  We've used our printer almost every day for 2 years, 
and it's still working well.

Primera makes several models of this type of machine, at different price 
levels.  Some burn AND print.
