They are not Inkjet printable
Received mine 1 day after I placed the order. The scan is very nice and the printing surface is awesome. But for me it wasn't $79.99, it was around $85 since I have to pay tax.
Silver Thermal Lacquer is for thermal printers. For white inkjet and silver inkjet printable, you can print directly on the top surface if you have CD/DVD printers like Epson R200/300/320. They have special coating on the top surface to absorb inks. Everest printable is silver thermal hub printable specially design for Everest thermal printer which is for professional users.
Are most people here using Epson printers to print on these things? How are the results? Anyone know of any sites that have good pictures of printed discs?
Also, I understand that the European versions of Canon printers can print on discs but for some reason they haven't introduced this feature for their US models. Anyone know what's up with this and if/when we can expect to see Canon printers with this feature in the US?
Thanks.

I have an Epson R200. It is a photo quality printer, so the print on the disc is as good as the image file that you use. Peoples jaws usually drop when I show them the discs. Especially when they see that it is not a label.

Curious about this as well. Printable vs lightscribe etc.

You're kidding right? How can you compare lightscribe to printable? Printable looks like a real disc, lightscribe looks like it's etched.
There are 2 reasons that I can think of that you would consider using lightscribe. There are no consumables (ink, but lightscribe discs are expensive right? so. um.) and the light scribe "printer" is built into the dvd burner so you don't have extra equipment (but you have a printer anyways right?)
I think it's a no brainer, I love my epson. I would love it more if the ink wasn't so damn expensive, but I love it all the same.

The Canon, 3,4,5,6 and 8000 series could also mod to do CD printing. Just need to got the CD tray off eGay and enable CD printing in the printer frimware.
I purchased 100-pk spindle of unbranded Taiyo Yuden Silver Inkjet Printable CD-R from Chiefvalue.com (Newegg.com sister company) several months ago, which I only just began using a couple weeks ago. I don't know what kind of surface coating is on these, but I discovered yesterday that it will readily dissolve in water.
I tried to wipe some grime and fingerprints off the surface with a slightly damp cloth and it basically made glue. Fibers from the cloth began pulling off and sticking to the surface coating. I dampened the cloth a little more and it only got worse. I wet the cloth more and the surface became slick to the touch, more like slimey. There were also very small and grainy particles in whatever this goo was. I then rubbed the surface with my fingers under running water and I could see the coating break down.
Tried to wash it all off but it remained sticky, I couldn't dry it with any cloth. I tossed it in the trash. I'm not sure what to do with the 80 or so discs I have left. Chiefvalue doesn't have the Item Code anymore: 17-172-101 CD-R|TAIYO 52X PRT 100PK
