If you want CD-R media with a tough top surface, I suggest you look for e.g. Verbatim "Crystal", Verbatim "Extra Protection", Maxell CD-R Pro, That's Ceramic Coat. Welcome to CDFreaks!  |

Mmm, fabrically pressed CDs (audio and data), they are made as such - aluminium/reflective layer laminated/sandwitched between two plastic - am I right? |
| Quote:
CDs are made with a reflective layer and data layer on top of approx. 1.1mm polycarbonate, and usually[*] with a layer of lacquer on top of the reflective layer. Some CDs have additional protection on the top surface. [*] But not always, especially for older CD-R media. Understanding the CD: Material (article on HowStuffWorks) |
| What about, when you label them with a sharpie, and stack the disks in those spindle cases , hm you know those cake boxes whatever you call them?. Couldn't the ink from the top attach to the data side of the disk on top of it?. |
| Just bought some Staedtler fine tipped pens. http://www.staedtler.co.uk/Lumocolor...ActiveID=23650 They look excellent, really good for writing longer titles on CD-Rs. You get none of the blobbyness thicker tipped pens can produce. One thing I was wondering in a slightly OT sort of way is for discs like my new Panasonic TYG03s, which have no guide lines, how to write reasonably straight without using a ruler. I didn't realise they were like that until they turned up. Nice discs though.  |

@Idontexistm8 - those Pannys are really nice looking discs, you could just do some really fancy writing where it doesn't matter if it's straight or not

| Actually I've found the Staedtler to be a little too fine (well they are listed as Ultra Fine). I'm going to try a couple of Stabilo Write 4 Alls off ebay which are around a 0.6/7mm tip. Then I've have a nice selection to scrawl with. |
| The ones they sell in Asda in packs of two (one red, one black) I've found are really good

| I used normal Sharpies for 4 years. I never lost any data, CD or DVD because of it. I have started using Sharpie Industrial. (it's suposed to be a different ink that's chemical resistant.) I am not sure but that ink might mess up a cd... I also have some Faber Castell Cd makers. I picked them up for fun. 6$ for 4 :P I know it's alot but it was for fun.

| I’ve got some little white-board calendars and noticeboards (the kind that have magnets on the back to stick to your fridge), and the dry-erase markers that come with them seem to be great for discs. They leave a nice readable mark on the disc that is neither too thin (and invisible), nor runny and spreading. It can also be erased nice and easy if you need to, while not wiping off by accident.

| Yeah, nice idea but those faber castell's also come with a special eraser XD Tho your idea is probably cheeper

| I've been using Sharpies for both CD/DVD backup, for quite a while now. So far, have yet to run into any problems. However, I'm thinking about going with the fine point, as I notice sometimes the regular Sharpie can be too much. Just depends on the kind of DVDs you get (screen print, frosted, etc).

| I keep going back to the STAEDTLER Lumocolor. I use the black "Art.Nr 313-9" S for small, I have got so many other pens and none come close IMO. I had been looking at the Staedtler site in the link above and could not seem to see the pen I like, so I checked in more and found these which are a better match looks like a UK thing the Art. no. 310 but on mine it says 313-9 ??? http://www.staedtler.co.uk/Lumocolor...n_uk.Staedtler The only others I really like are the Pentel CD-R/DVD-R Marker for a good picture They work really well, but are a bit too think for me, which all of the Sharpies I have found (not so easy over here) seem to be like as well.
