As was already suggested, permanent markers are fine on CDR media. I
wrote an article that touched on this point, and spoke with a
representative from both TDK and Mitsui, specifically asking about
the use of "Sharpie" markers on CDR blank media. They both said that
it was entirely OK to do so, and that the protective coating would be
fine.
But the latest rumour I've heard is that marker pens are NOT OK, and that
the ink will eventually eat through the plastic. Is this true? One of our
major department stores is now selling a "special CD marker pen", supposedly
archival, but I've not seen it.
Any comments?
