CD/DVD printing - inkjet or thermal

[tommyoz]

I'm curious to know what everyone thinks about the better CD/DVD printing method between inkjet or thermal. Please reply only if you actually have hands on expierence.

In my opinion (yes, I have seen samples of both so I'm qualified ) the thermal method is better than the inkjet method.

However, the thermal method is more expensive than the inkjet and is usually prohibitive to small users.

Is it true that thermal printing is more versatile as far as CD/DVD media goes and can handle some non printable media?

I think I read that thermal can print in any disc that have a clear face, if it has bumps or grooves then there is a problem because the printing head need to touch the surface, or something like that.

There is monochrome printing that costs around 90 (black, silver, gold, blue I think) and inkjet printing at 199 with the epson stylus photo 900.
