| 360185 | 2005-06-01 05:02:00 | Freind of mine has an inkjet that can print directly to disc But of course if it gets wet the ink smudges Does anyone know of a spray on product that might give the ink some protection? I know a thermal printer would be better, but he doesn't have one. Will hairspray work? Or maybe there is a company around that will coat them like the hired DVDs are Any help will be appreciated. Thanks |

| 360188 | 2005-06-02 05:58:00 | An artists' supplier (like the Warehouse ;)) will have spray cans of "fixative". It's just a varnish which you spray on artwork to protect it. Even clear polyurethane varnish cans would probably work. It's just a question of whether the solvent in the varnish reacts with the ink. | Graham L (2) | ||
| 360189 | 2005-06-02 06:12:00 | Friend of mine has an inkjet that can print directly to disc. But of course if it gets wet the ink smudges. Pardon my asking, but how on earth to you manage to get your DVDs/CDs wet? Moisture is anathema to the insides of a DVD or CD player, so wouldn't it be easier to remove the source of moisture? Spraying solvent-based products onto the labels may dissolve the adhesive or turn it to sticky gunk, and anything heavier may put the disc out of balance and refuse to play or maybe even wreck your player.

| 360190 | 2005-06-02 06:26:00 | Billy: he's got a printer which prints to the disc itself. So the request was for a way to protect the printed image. The ink might be just "sitting" on the polycarbonate or the screen-printed surface, so varnish will glue it down. I agree that label adhesive could be a problem, but not in this case. I wouldn't use stick on labels at all, myself. ;) I'm interested in the new disks which you flip after writing, and use the laser to produce a label. |
