I would love it if I could get one of these between the 100-200 dollar price range. I'm a professional and I'm all about the professional look.If I could do it with a dvd burner with the graphics as well as text, that would be wonderful and a plus esp. considering on a budget and need to find something just as good. What CD's do you suggest besides the standard print directly cd/dvd printable discs?

Why wouldn't you go with printable CDs and DVDs? I switched from sticky labels to printable discs about six years ago and never looked back. Get one of the many ink jet printers that print on discs and enjoy professional looking discs without having to deal with sticking the paper labels on again.

I have an HP Photosmart D5160 inkjet printer that prints labels directly to discs and I have some Verbatim printable DVD discs. My only problem problem is that it's set to print to my model, but the alignment is off by a few...

The picture didn't show up, no link.

I used to use an old Epson 300 that came with it's own software, never had a problem with it no matter what disks I purchased. When I left XP, the Epson disk print software would not run on 64-bit operating systems (must've been 16-bit software), so I had to buy a Canon printer, and after hunting for it I downloaded free Canon disk print software. Haven't had a problem with it either.

You probably don't want to spend more money, but I would advise buying a printer that prints discs and also comes with its own print program. You won't have a problem.
