| OK to use marker pens to write on CDs/DVDs?? Is it OK to use marker pens to write directly onto the top surface of CDs and DVDs? Are there any risks involved??? Thanks people.

| Well I just made a bunch of dvdrs and labelled with a sharpie. How bad is it for a dvdr? Maybe I should re rip and burn these with proper markers if I want them to last years? |

well, there have been studies done where regular sharpies do eat away at the surface. if you can re-burn, it might not be a bad idea. (but, i have a TON of older ones before i read about this...i am not about to re-burn those.) so, moving forward, i would use the proper marking pen. as to the CD/DVD pens being detrimental, i have not seen anything on that...

| I just successfully ripped 2 CD-Rs. One was burned in March of 96 and the ther in January of 97. Both had sharpie writings all over them. Both ripped error free. I wouldnt worry much about Sharpies on CD-Rs if I were you. |

| write on the protective layer and not on the surface and you will be fine. a CDR/DVDR disc will fail of its own accord regardless and long before ink breaks down the protective layer. |
