I saw an add for some DVD recordingsoftware that said it could cause problems using a Sharpie to write on DVD's. Comments??
I use a slim sharpie on my kids movies and an Epson printer for my movies. I have not had any problems with the sharpie discs. I also recomend using TY or Verbatim media if your not already.:clap:
Been using Sharpie fine points on CE and DVD media for yrs....never caused a problem. The only possible problem I could see would be on really cheap media that has a thin coating.
http://www.mscience.com/faq508.html#TOP edit: some are alcohol (and water) based and some are solvent based (it is felt that the solvent based ones are more troubling) But I haven't read anything overly upsetting concerning Sharpie "cd/dvd" line on blank dvd media.
Ditto ..... Once upon a time , I was looking through my Burned DVD Back-Ups and noticed that one of the Discs looked .... a little more purple than the others ..... As a result of trying to multiTask ; I had written , With a Sharpie : On the Data side of the Disc You would think ... that the Disc was toast - as I did I took some rubbing alcohol and a soft cloth ( old , clean t-shirt ) Rubbed and rubbed until all the Ink was removed ( still ... Coaster - You would think - for sure .....) ... and guess what ... The TY 02 Played - just as well as it should have ( Also scanned @zero errors via VSOInspector ) The Moral of the Story : Sharpies are fine to use to Label your Media ( just don't label the data side )
lol now that's one thing i haven't done yet but i either use a Sharpie or i use TY printable discs and my Epson R320 on the non-data side.
