We've used about 400 blue Verbatim's at work so coated. You have to be 
careful when writing on the coated side else you'll ruin the disk. 
Apparently the layer written by the CD-R is just under the top coating.

Felt tip pens are OK. Anything sharp is sure to ruin the disk (I ruined
the first bootable FreeBSD install disk I made, worked great before I
wrote on it). It appears the top surface is more delicate than the
bottom.

Anyone have any advice about inkjet CD printers? Most appear to be 
modified Epson Stylus 600's and 800's. Any chance one works with 
Ghostscript?
