Hi! I recently read the stand alone statement; "..if you write on CD labels, do not use a Sharpie". Anyone have an idea why? This is not a test. I really don't know any better and have done it many times. Actually, my discs do not have labels. Ink chemistry? I usually use small rectangular sti

RE: Writing on CDs NO NO!

I've used sharpies with no ill effects. They do have a ability to write on anything and a tendency to bleed through porous materials, not to mention an odor of xylene, all of which are a bit disquieting. Recently I found a Staedtler felt tip specifically recommended for writing on CDs.

i don't know about Sharpie in general, but certain ink formulae can eat through the protective coating on the back. it's not plastic and highly vulnerable. Herb - Original Message - From: "Jack Davis" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Tuesday, June 14, 2005 4:38 PM Subject: Writing o

Felt tipped "write on anything" marking pens. They are made in various size soft tips from 'sharp' to blunt. We occasionally round them up and are fairly sure they have a way of reproducing. Probably, at night. Jack --- Cotty <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 14/6/05, Jack Davis, discombobulated, u

Re: Writing on CDs NO NO!

The label side of a CD is very sensitive. I don't know what a sharpie is, but it is better to use a designated marker, or write on a CD label before attaching it to the CD. On Tuesday 14 June 2005 22:38, Jack Davis wrote: FJW> I recently read the stand alone statement; "..if you FJW> write on CD
