ABSTRACT:
The disclosure is directed to optical disks with a microstructured surface formed on a surface of the optical disk. The microstructured surface may be created to promote the adhesion and prevent the migration of a print material applied to the surface of the optical disk. The microstructured surface may be in the form of a plurality of wells or a plurality of discontinuous raised features in the surface. By forming a microstructured surface on the surface of the disk, the optical disk may not need an additional coating to receive the print material while also retaining the print material at a precise location on the surface. In addition, a plurality of standoff features may be formed in an outer surface of the optical disk to help prevent damage to the surface of the optical disk.
