Heard dvd labels (traditional printouts applied to disc) may cuase damage to the disc if spun too fast in drive. It may seem weird, but I was thinking about a new method - adapted from PCB nad metal etching. Basically, if you coat the disc with a photosensitive material, let is set, and then expose it to a tranparency (of the image you want) over the disc in sunlight, then a simple dip in the water will wah away excess material while the photostuff (that changed due to UV light), remains as your image. Not sure if the photosensitive material (lacquer, as most refer to it) would be considered a sizeable mass increase to the dvd, causing balancing issues and hence damage when spun at high speeds.
Daguerreotype (de-gâr´e-tìp´) noun 1. An early photographic process with the image made on a light-sensitive silver-coated metallic plate. 2. A photograph made by this process. Daguerre (de-gâr´, dä-gèr´), Louis Jacques Mandé 1789-1851 French artist and inventor of the daguerreotype process for obtaining positive photographic prints. Early French DVD labeling? In Earth History circa 2005 there is an Epson printer available in the New World that prints an image on printable-surface dvd media. Sorry wingyuu, no dis intended. I just couldn't resist poking fun. One thing about the internet is you can be a wise guy and not get smacked!
