The no. 1 primary reason for AVOIDING glossy print DVD/CD blanks is nose grease, finger grease, fingerprints and smears. And it is not possible to educate consumers into holding these by the edges to avoid fingerprints on either side, because too many people of too many age categories handle them and there’s going to be residue there, regardless.
So, while I LOVE the look of glossy, I hate the overwhelmingly unsightly look of a glossy surface (not to mention the extra cost for getting this fingerprint retainer) that has been handled a couple of times. Have you ever tried to wipe or wash off the smears? I have. Din’t werk.
