May I suggest that the question is too broad to be answered easily?

Chheck at Media Sciences - http://www.mscience.com/ - for information on 
writing on or printing to discs themselves. I have already reported that a 
company complained when I sent a disc in for detailed analysis: the 
commercial paper envelope I used had scratched the polycarbonate enough to 
disturb (but not to invalidate) the testing.

Since neither paper nor ink is a uniform product, please identify which 
materials and in what application you mean in order for someone with 
knowledge to assist.
