i have published some limited runs of indie music albums on printable cds (which have a matte silver finish and are meant for specialized laser / inkjet printers with cd tray feeding mechanisms) using:
(1) customized rubber stamps with regular inkpad ink -- these can be ordered online by submitting a graphic file for as little as $10 for a 5" by 5" stamp
(2) layered bicolor woodcuts with substantially heavier pigments -- these were a bit messy, but after the initial loose bits came off after drying, all seemed fine
i think you should be concerned about loose pigment as it must be more abrasive than dust. the sealant route, imho, is ill-advised, most i inspected contained serious solvents, which (again i presume) could harm the cd. if you must cover up the ink, a clear label might be better, but i realize you don't want labels, plus they are generally more expensive than the cd.
i have published roughly 600+ using the rubber stamps and 300+ using the woodcuts and so far the only complaints have been about the music;) of course, this may be limiting play...

Still trying to get those sprites all the way over to the right edge of the screen, myself.
