Cd/DVD Guard??

Author

Now that I have a printer that allows me to print directly to a disc, I have come across this little product http://www.genesysdtp.com/cddvdguard.htm
I was just wondering if this stuff works, and is necessary, or if it will ruin the disc. The whole reason I decided to get an inkjet printer that would print on the disc itself was because I heard/read that the extra weight added by paper labels actually could cause a disc to become unreadable because of uneven glue. I just don’t want to buy this stuff and it metimorphisize perfectly good discs into coasters.

Also as a side note, this site sells digitrays for anyone interested in making there own digipak. That’s actually how I found this stuff.

I’ve never used that on my printed discs - and most still work ok 13 years on.

Though these have some reviews on the spray that may help you decide…

I have not used sealer. I did have an issue with printing the inserts and such on my HP; they were really smudgy, so I ditched it and use a Canon to print everything. No more problems. Plus, it has been my experience that the heat from the player will “cure” the disc label…

I have trade that these sprays can keep the ink from smudging if and when they get wet and fading over time. But I didn’t know if the new disc printers and printable discs were more reliable in this aspect or not
