Printable discs are becoming more and more difficult these days. Interestingly, this comes at a time when there are actually more printers with the ability to print to disc. Epson used to have a block of printers that could print directly to CD or DVD, but now several modern Canon models do the same (and I can say they do it more reliably than the few Epsons I've had). I've waited to write this until I've used at least a few discs and in fact so far I've used most of them and none of the bad ones. Of course I expected that from Verbatim. The print quality is professional and does not smear.
