Print images with lasting impact on the new Inkjet Printable CDs and DVDs with AquaGuard surface from Imation -- available in mid-May through Imation authorized distributors.

Thanks to the AquaGuard nanoparticle technology, the new discs feature a brighter surface that provides a better canvas on which to print lasting impressions. Printed images and text are also permanently locked into the disc's surface -- even when handled immediately after printing or when exposed to water.

"AquaGuard is a triple play for media design flexibility -- the whiter surface allows for more vibrant color and the smudge resistance of our new CDs and DVDs sets the new quality standard for inkjet printable media," said Tom Lally, U.S. executive director of sales and marketing, Imation. "Businesses and consumers who use our new Inkjet Printable CDs and DVDs with AquaGuard surface will know their printed discs will look the best -- a big advantage in today's image-conscious environment."
