I don't think you'll find a decent thermal transfer or dye-sub CD  
printer for anything like that price though. There is one (can't  
remember who made it though) specifically for cds at about £80 but it  
is severely limited as to what it can print (straight text only, one  
colour at a time etc.) For the price I don't think you'll find any  
better and when you leave it to dry for a couple of hours on proper  
inkjet cds its sufficiently impervious for all but the most sweaty  
handed youfs.
