Protective coating for printed CD-Rs?

[neveronfriday]

Hi,

I bought myself a new Canon printer which can also print on CD-Rs/DVDs.

The result looks stunning (I'm using Taiyo Yuden CD-R 80/700MB 48x *inkjet white*, full prinbtable surface) but, as with most printers, if water is dripped onto the surface etc., the ink smears.

I'm thinking of using Colour Protection Spray to protect the surface.

Despite my search in various forums, I could not find an answer to the most important question: If applied carefully (keeping the stuff off the playing surface and the inner ring), will a spray like that have any adverse effect on the CD-R?

Has anyone used sprays like that?

Cheers!

Yep, I'm sure.

That's the problem with the Canon printers and the ink they use.

I knew this before I bought the printer. Went for it anyway because the tests were great, printing results are otherwise excellent and the ink is dirt cheap (and good).

A good allround printer with that one single problem.

Cheers.
