    Does anyone know if they make them so the top, where you print the cover, doesn't get scratched so easily?

    The only printable discs that are scratch-resistant are thermal printable discs, not the kind that are water-absorbant for ink-jet printable discs. Those ink-jet printable discs with the smoothest finishes tend to resist scratches better than rougher, matte-finished discs. You might want to look at Taiyo Yuden WaterShield discs, which have a very smooth and shiny surface to them.

    I have those Taiyo Yuden Watershield glossy DVDs and they scratch pretty easily.
