Hi Lawrence, I'm using these disks as a means to present the companies CI to them so cost is not a factor. Considering what I charge them for a logo even $50 is cost would be nothing. I've looked at the coating system, its cost $18650. I was using a canon printer to print the disks, but the ink does smudge after awhile...and sharpies just don't cut it. Anybody laser engrave a CD??
