Print on CD and DVD discs with Epson R200 and R300
Authored by: WildDude92 on Dec 02, '04 12:39:40PM

I have a R200 and the print quality is great. I will go so far as to say photo quality. It is not waterproof. I am going to get some spray on waterproof from an arts and craft store.

Anyone have a better suggestion?

I've been experimenting a little with coatings: I've tried Helmar's Crystal Kote Fixative spray and National Art Materials' Gloss Varnish. Both have worked ok. The Crystal Kote is more designed for artists to protect their drawings etc inbetween sessions, and you can draw or paint over the top of it, so therefore it isn't really waterproof. The Gloss Varnish has been a bit better in that regard, but you really have to do several light coats for it to work. It was tending to bead slightly if you don't spray very lightly, but then if do go very lightly, you have to do a lot of coats for it to become waterproof...pretty tedious when you have to leave it for 5-10 each time, for each disc!

Any other suggestions?

Don't play with your CD's in the bathtub?

Well, a company called Diversified Systems Group, Inc. has what they call PhotoCoat media. It basically has the same ttype of coating that photo paper has, which renders the image waterproof. They aren't cheap though. Cost is around a dollar a disc when bough on a spindle of 100.
