I have been using Lightscribe to Identify my CD. Then HP stopped
support
of that technique. Then some one developed printable CD. However in
my
search for a new printer, none seems to handle printable CD. Has
that
technology been thrown on to the scrap heap also?

If so are there any other professional ways to ID CD? (magic marker
is not
acceptable.)

This may help :-

Looking at boxes or Newegg etc you have to hunt for the info a bit, but
my
old Canon ip4000 died and I bought another Canon MG5420, Multifunction,
did not see CD in the list of features, but when I got it home was so
so
happy and surprised to see the feature was there. I have a couple 100
printables CD/DVD's.

I bought this software http://acoustica.com/cd-label-maker/ years ago
and
I notice it says supports lightscribe. Also see this link of theirs
as
well as the avforums link.

I wonder is this printing technique on CD durable? Isn't the text easily
wiped off with wet or greasy fingers?




It is durable. I have several CD's I printed pictures and names in color
and they have survived 6 or 8 years in my shop and truck. They do not
smudge. You have to use "printable" cd blanks.



Sounds good, but I suppose printable CD/DVD are more expensive?
Until now I've always used a hand marker. Of course this doesn't look as
good, but also readability of my handwriting is very bad...
