Thanks for your help with this. I actually don't think drying will be a problem, as we can always buy DVDs and CDs which are inkjet printable. These discs only cost $0.01 more on average than other types of DVDs.
I'd still test it before spending much money on the project. Just borrow one of those "received" or "void" stamps from someones office, and stamp it onto one of those CD's. Ink-jet ink and stamp-ink are very different. Stamp-ink does not dry on any plastic surface that I have tried. Even leaving it on overnight does not help. Stamp-ink is designed to pull water from the air to keep it moist. When it is applied to regular paper, the paper can apparently wick the water away faster than the ink absorbes it, or something to that effect. Plastic surfaces (and glossy surfaces) just don't work right, no wicking, so the ink always remains wet. This is a "feature" of the stamp-ink, so that you don't have to worry about your stamp pad drying out between uses.
