Obviously, I don't think this appropriate for archival stuff, but do you
think it could effect audio quality on client discs? Not sure how,
except if a burn from the top could effect how the bottom is read in
some drives.

It's a tool of very limited value in large part because of the special
media required. Selection is limited and getting a line of blanks that
works well - even at over $1 per conventional CD-R - will be
problematic. HP offers one package of CD-R media, one of DVD+R and two
drives (one each internal and external).
In short, there appears to be a very limited market. The product I've
seen lacks the crispness and contrast needed to be a winner and writing
is neither quick nor convenient. In short, a thermal printer would
appear to be a better choice all around.
