I bought the "Dymo Discpainter" that prints designs directly on printable CDs but I got very different results depending on the exact blank CDs I was using. I tried 5 or 6 different brands and styles. The last one was advertised as "glossy" so I had high hopes for a good result. Well, the ink never dried on that CD and it "stuck" to the top lid of the CD jewel case! Then I tried these CDs. WHAT A DIFFERENCE! The image was beautiful. It gives a smooth mirror like finish with all the colors brightly shown. It also dries quickly and the ink doesn't "stick" to anything. As far as I'm concerned these are the ONLY printable CDs worth using. They are simply the best made.
