Hi Film Balance,
I know this is a late post, but better late than never, eh?
One of the detriments to inkjet printing on discs surfaces is that the ink will run or bleed if it gets wet. So, say if you are working on a disc like a wedding DVD and it must last forever for that client, they might get upset if they spill their morning coffee on the disc 10 years from now and the great picture on the disc turns to mush.
The aqua guard has a special surface that will accept the ink and make it more permanent and resistent to bleeding when wet. I have not had much experience with these types of discs, since we moved our inkjet to Rimage Everest printing, but try a few of the discs and if the printing looks good and the image doesn't bleed, I would say that is real value over the conventional discs, even at an elevated disc cost.
