Here's the solution I use.  For around $180 you can get a La Cie  
Lightscribe CD/DVD burner that prints the CDs too.  It burns CDs at  
52x and DVDs at 8x.  The way it prints on the CDs is you turn the  
disc over and it uses the same laser to burn the coating on the label  
side and makes a permanent one-color label that has the shiny back of  
the CD data as one color and a gold background that is burned off to  
create the letters and graphics.
