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.)

I have two Epson inkjets with that feature. They work well. Here's
another - I have no experience with this one.

Thanks for all of the responses.

From what I get from all of the post, all methods for Identifying disk
are either something you would not present to a customer with examples
of your work, or either dead or dying.

I can not believe that my wife is the only one in this world who send
out disk with examples of there work, that require a professional
looking disk, BUT I find out she is.

Out of curiosity, how much data do you wish to send? How many
megabytes?

It is not that much. Most of the time only a couple of gb.

The problem is that the places she sends it, do not know, and may not
trust mail. The only way they will accept the information is on a CD.

We went through this about 10 years ago, only then they wanted slides
photos. Toward the end before they changed, we had to go all over
Indianapolis to first find slide film and then find someone to develop it.

My wife paints on canvas with acrylic paints. Once the painting is
finished, I take digital photographs. She then submits the paintings to
art galleries, or art associations to convince them to show her work.
Unfortunately these are not Big City organizations, but local galleries
and organization. If you want them to show your work, and they will
only accept examples on CD, if you want your work displayed you submit
your work on CD's. Right now she has about 20 pieces in the Smithfield
NC Chamber of Commerce, (I don't believe she submitted a CD for this)

I suspect that in a half dozen years they will realized they can get the
examples by email, and CD will go the way of the slides.


I wonder if they would peruse her work if posted on a website? You
could even password protect the site. Setting up a beautiful gallery
of her work on a free Wordpress site would not require a massive
amount of education or work.

The ability to add, subtract and modify her portfolio, not to mention
the elimination of burning and mailing digital coasters would make
this sound very appealing to me.

Just a different way to get the mule to walk down the canyon.
