I have thousands of B&W negatives that I labeled the margins with using
sharpy markers over the last 25 years. The negatives are just fine. There
is even less on a CD-R to contaminate, as the metal surface and die layer
are encased. My issue with scribing, is that you may impact the balance of
the platter, and I am worried about delaminations caused by the scribing
process. I think using alcohol based markers like Sharpies is OK, and the
CD-Rs will probably outlast the players that support them.
