There are brand new printers out that use UV cure ink. They are wide
format printers, though. Don't know how they'd work in a desktop
printer. Anyone work in a signshop and can beg or buy a few mL of ink
to try in an old Epson?

Problem is, most of the older desktop Epsons don't have a straight
through path. Of course, you can -try- it onto paper in a cheap Epson
400 or 600, and if it works then get a newer model, one that can print
on a CD will take something thick enough.
