New Imation inkjet printable CDs and DVDs with

AquaGuard

™

surface give you a powerful new advantage:

the ability to print fast-drying, custom graphics that won’t

wash away and are smudge- and smear-resistant—right

from your CD/DVD inkjet duplicating equipment or

desktop disc printers.

The best of the benefits.

You already know the advantages printable media has over traditional labeling—it generally costs less, saves time and reduces the likelihood of drive and player error due to peeling labels. And now that Imation printable media features the AquaGuard surface, there’s no reason to print CD and DVD graphics any other way, or with any other brand.

The AquaGuard™surface difference.

Imation’s AquaGuard surface features a proprietary nanoparticle coating that grips and holds the ink to lock images in place exactly where they are applied. The AquaGuard surface is resistant to smearing or bleeding when exposed to water or humid environments. And you don’t have to wait for ink to dry before CDs and DVDs can be handled safely. You’ll get brilliant graphic reproductions right away that will look as good today as they will after years of playback and handling.

Designer’s details.

Designers will appreciate all that Imation printable media with AquaGuard surface has to offer. A new whiter, brighter surface makes images pop, and is uniform from the hub to the disc edge, minimizing typical hub area shading and maximizing design flexibility. The Imation AquaGuard surface luminance ensures that printed discs will always look their best—a big advantage in today’s image-conscious business environments.

Greater compatibility.

As a result of our rigid testing and qualification processes, you can be assured that Imation inkjet printable CDs and DVDs with AquaGuard surface are compatible with leading inkjet duplicators and desktop disc printers from Primera, Condre and Epson.

A traditional inkjet-printed disc easily smears when exposed to moisture.

New Imation inkjet printable media with AquaGuard surface locks in ink to withstand moisture.

Lock in a better solution for your inkjet disc printers.
