Imation today announced the world's first inkjet printable and water-resistant Blu-ray media. Optimized for professional disc duplication, the new BD-R Media feature the AquaGuard technology offering water and smear resistant graphics and text on the disc's surface.

The discs are compatible with Blu-ray disc players and recorders, including the Primera Bravo XR-Blu Disc Publisher and the Bravo SE Blu.

Imation Inkjet Printable BD-R Media is now shipping to authorized Imation distributors for a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $24.99 for a single disc with jewel case. Primera also sells the media with its Blu-ray-enabled disc publishers.
