"Inkjet Printable" CDs

[pdV6]

I keep seeing ads for "inkjet printable" CDRs.

Am I missing something? I can appreciate that an Inkjet printer might be able to physically print on them (if it could handle media that thick) but surely most "home" IJ printers have a paper path that runs around a roller?

Is it just that you need a printer with a straight through paper path?

My Epsom R300 has a CD slot for printable CDs. It works well too.

Ah! Won't be rushing out to buy any IJP discs, then, as I don't have such a slot...

Cheers

There have been some CD-specific printers that will do them, and CD-capable printers seem to be getting more common these days. I believe the Epson R200 and some of the Canons will do them too.

I tend to buy inkjet-printable media because it's nicer to write on and doesn't have any branding on the top surface.
