120470 2003-02-12 02:53:00 Was wondering, what kinds of pens/vivids/markers are the best to use, for writing on top of a CD (not writing data into the cd!!), and how much they are, where you buy them from.

I use black vivid at the moment, but would like to know where to buy those 'fine' ones from, that will actually stay on the cd...

120471 2003-02-12 02:56:00 Yeah, just any old permanent marker does the trick for me!

Costs a few dollars for a fine-nibbed one!

120472 2003-02-12 03:04:00 I just use one of two black marker pens, one is a Stepens Vivid Fine that I got from I think the Stationary Warehouse when I was there before Xmas for maybe a couple of dollars and also use a Artline Fine Black, just which ever one is within reach. Both dry near enough instantly and do not smudge. Gordon. (2217)
120473 2003-02-12 03:11:00 I had fun once with a felt-tip pen.

I wrote on it and then put it into an old top-loading stereo, and spun the disc round while it was still drying (The pens took a wee while to dry - Permanent markers dont seem to take so long) and it gave a pretty cool effect!

note: the CD-Player was dead - only used as a radio! I dont suggest you try it at home ;-)

120474 2003-02-12 03:46:00 i use the F(fine) Stablilo OHPen
it is universal and refillable
also choose the permanent one
there's other one that looks exactly the same
but can be rubbed off

got it under $5 in paperplus


..also got this other alcohol permanent ink made by Simbalion
