Inkjet printable CD/DVDs not quite as good as I'd hoped

It's called "Fixative Spray" and I use it all the time. Be ABSOLUTELY SURE to spray in a super-ventilated area, never indoors without a fan blowing it out. It's highly toxic.

I don't know if flamibility would be a concern or not.......
hate to see a disk spontainiously combust while in the cd drive...
DrewKaree:
They are or have come out with burners that use the laser to burn a "label" onto the front side of the disk, give that a whirl, and sell that thing on e-bay. I'm sure someone out there will think it's the cat's ass and snap it up for a pretty penny from you.
The burned labels look super sweet, and IIRC, you can use different font types too.
MaximumPC had it in a recent issue. I can't remember who makes it.

Crashwg,
Why are your CD's getting moist? :-\

Well, I'm licking my finger and wiping it... :P Not that I plan on doing that with my collection all the time, it's more like a test to see if they'll hold up to a situation like drinking a soda in mid summer and the condensation gets all over my fingers and I accidentally touch the ink on top of one of my disks. Usually I grab the disks by the edges so that shouldn't be a problem but I'm sure I won't be the only one to handle the disks. Also, accidents do happen and there's the possibilty that someone spills something on 'em I guess. :-\
Is that fixative spray expensive? How many disks do you think I could get out of one can?
Drew, I've seen those LightScribe burners and disks and although it is pretty cool technology I'm not a big fan of the color schemes that are available. Also, I'm pretty picky about my media and I don't think Tayo Yuden makes lightscribe disks. ;)
