No evo they make special DVD-R's that have a special coating on the top that is pure solid white with absolutely no markings on them at all, and of course you would need the special printer to print on them.. These are what I have been using lately because I got a very good deal on them. They are Ritek's but not the normal G03, G04's. Here is a link to what I have.

I don’t have a printer for printing to blank media, but when I use my good old sharpie on them the black stands out very nice and whatever that white is on the tops of these discs soaks up the ink really good, no smudging and no wearing off. I imaging that’s the whole idea so that when you print to it you would get the same result.

Now the media that gtapex_trueno was taking about I'm sure would look more like a double sided DVD-R but one side of course would only be for the high-contrast, silk screen-type label. I think this would look really cool as long as the disc performed will other wise it would be just and expensive toy.
