Okay to write on discs with a marker?
| Blank Media Discuss, Okay to write on discs with a marker? at Consumables forum; Yup, either get a good inkjet printable setup or stick with a sharpie marker. As long as you let the marker ink dry first then you are good to go. . .provided you are using decent quality media, of course. |

| I've recently purchased these because of their ability to be burnt at 12x with quality results. (I've never had a problem with any TY's). http://www.blankmedia.ca/proddetail3.asp?id=303 My question is, can I use a "sharpie" felt marker to label these? They've got a "Lacquer" surface. Thanks. |
| It should be safe. The dye is sndwhiched between two plastic discs and as such the ink from any permanent marker can't get to it and damage it. |

Sure why not |
| If it smells like solubles, you should not use it for CDs, because CDs only have a tiny lacquer surface on top of the reflective and dye layers. But you can use virtually any felt marker on DVDs, since DVD reflective layer is sandwiched between two parts of polycarbonate discs. |
| Good stuff. Thanks for the quick responses. |

| This question is asked about every other day... Merged several threads with similar topic.

| Pens? Work fine with DVD but watch out with pens on CD, they should not contain solubles... |
| I have TDK CD/DVD Pens - seem OK. Just ordered two packs of DVD from SVP (trial packs) one +R and one -R Looks like the DVD writer is going to get a good trashing  Thanks for all the tips.

| I use Verbatim MultiMedia markers. They seem to be the best markers I've come across yet. Speed-Link and Hama markers had an odd smell, but the Verbatim markers do not have smell at all - I think companies which are making media should know best what's good and what is not... |

| I use the Schneider-made "Ednet CD/DVD markers", excellent quality and no smell either. Widely available in many shops in Belgium. In Germany: http://www.dooyoo.de/speichergehaeus...net-cd-marker/

| I write on all burned cds & dvds with Städtler lumocolor permanent compact marker. I'm more than satisfied with it. I hope that it doesn't harm the surface. |

| My CD-Rs with sharpie written on top are still in fine shape after 8 years or more. |
| PS I will never write on a dvd or cd with a sharpie. If you plan on having these for long term, the ink can and will eat into the cd or dvd. The process is vastly accelerated with heat. I use little post it notes on the cd or dvd, on the case or on the disc. I lost hundreds of disks, mainly to heat, but the sharpie ate through first. CA is the new Arizona, 100 F no problem thanks to Global Warming (if it isn't real Republican scumbags then why the hell does it get hotter and hotter if you average the temps over the years a increase must exist). In you car those disks have not a chance after a year. |
| @Fluxburn: Please don't start a political discussion in this thread. If you want to discuss politics you can post in the CD Freaks Living Room, but be sure to read our policy on such discussions first. |
| Well, cds/dvds will eventually end up frisbees in anyone's car from the heat. If stored normally inside a house at room temperature, in a cooler spot, no direct sunlight, good ventilation, either in jewel cases, cd/dvd wallets or even just spindles, they should hold up a nice, long time. I've spoken to CDFreaks that have stored CDs/DVDs in wallets and spindles, using Sharpies to write on them, and they've had no degradation nor problems, so over 5-15 years they've done it, I have no reservations about using Sharpies.
