Anything you can spray on a "normal" cd to allow inkjet printing?

[Peter Larsen]

Flexographic inks are alcohol based, IIRC. Might that
damage the substrate?

Wonderful question, which is to say that I plain do not know. Otoh
scrreen printing also tends to be based on rapidly evaporating solvents

Otoh scrreen printing also tends to be based on rapidly
evaporating solvents

And/or UV-cured coatings. Especially important when
doing multi-color to avoid contaminating the screen with
the previous color.

The mass of the paint is so small...

Haven't you seen the Mythbusters episode in which they spin CDs on a
high-speed drill? You have to reach thousands of RPMs before a normal
(uncracked) disk breaks.

I've had one CD-ROM shatter in my 48x drive. It was one of the kids' games,
so it was likely cracked by the kids since they tend to mishandle CD-ROM's.
After taking apart the drive and pulling the pieces out, the CD-ROM drive
still worked fine. ;-)
