Yup, we used to have a Microboards GX-1 Disc Printer/Burner. Burns and prints 50 at a time. Was a good earner for a while but we couldn't keep up with the bigger companies and their booklets and shrink wrapping so we ended up selling it.

Funnily enough, we found the software that came for Mac a little bit confusing and could never get the thing aligned. We ended up using a separate PC for it and that worked fine with it's software.

It can be a real pain though I must say. With alignment and getting the ink levels right so it doesn't overdo it and come off on your or the customer's hands. £45 a cartridge as well after delivery for the ink. You can get discs with a lacquer on them that look great but cost the earth.

I only say because its so cheap these days to get them done elsewhere with booklets etc and it takes the hassle off your hands.
