Why does the printed design look different on different discs?
Manufacturers add a special coating to inkjet-printable discs so that the ink is absorbed into the coating and adheres to the disc surface. Different manufacturers develop different coatings. The differences you see in your printed design are due to the amount and depth that the ink is absorbed into the surface. Some coatings absorb the ink deeper than others, and which results in differences in density or brightness of the colours. Matte surfaces, by their design, provide a softened appearance, while glossy surfaces provide much sharper images.
