    Hey all,

    Anyone hear of problems with using a conventional "Sharpie" fine point permanent marker on DVD Disk surfaces (or for that matter CD's)

    Regards,

    TJ

    I never had any problem, use it everytime.
    Don't waste your media. Burn it on re-writable media first.

    Good God, another Sharpie topic! AAUUGGHH!!!

    Forum search. Forum search. Forum search. Forum search.

    It's OK to use them on DVDs. The consensus here is you take a huge sniff from the pen and then begin writing, and everything works out just fine.

    If it's a good pen, then everything is fine for a few hours .. The world is all warm and fuzzy, though sometimes the room spins for a while too.

    I wonder if that is why Jack is smiling?
    Hope is the trap the world sets for you every night when you go to sleep and the only reason you have to get up in the morning is the hope that this day, things will get better... But they never do, do they?

    Shouldn't Gazorgazon (Or whatever the hell is name is) be jumping in here right about now and tell us all about his "special" sharpie that eats through the polycarbonate on dvd-rs?

    That thread was a real hoot.
