I have used both. Inkjet requires a suitable disc, reducing your choice
and increasing cost. There can also be a problem with ink smearing.
Thermal works on any unprinted disc, cannot cause problems later with
penetration of the lacquer, but is either very expensive or very limited
in the printing flexibility. They really cover different needs.

If you just want to print a label quickly and safely, a Casio or Primera
low-end model is the answer. If you're going for graphics and esthetics,
it's inkjet. If cost is no object, full-disc thermal is the choice.
