Can you label clear Cdrs?

    I just brought a pack of 100 cdrs but I didnt notice that they were clear when I brought them, (no painted side to label). Im just wondering if you can use an oil marker to label these cds.

    i have these cds as well, and i use sharpie marker on it. Some markers dont stay on the surface so your real problem will be finding a marker that doesnt smear

    I would also say wait until after you burn the CD to mark on it. I don't know if this makes a difference, but it might!

    I think you can use a permanent marker. I always like the black colour blended together red colour on my Imation CD-RS.

    You could also try a sticker type nametag on them and draw on them.

    Absolutely no problem... (Or I'd have noticed it by now ;))

    Just use an overhead projection marker which should be available in most (if not all) bookstores/drugstores....

    As for writing before burning, I haven't noticed any problems with it.... (And the cd's I use are more transparent than not...)

    Cool, I am glad to hear that it doesn't matter if you write before hand or not. I didn't know, but i have been wondering for a while.

    what happens if you write in marker on the bottom of the disk i.e. the part that the laser shines through? I've been wondering about that, I figure it might not matter if the marker you use is translucent. I might give it a shot with a disk that I don't much care for and post back with results incase anyone was curious.

    That depends on the drive you're reading, some drives are more sensitive to errors than others.

    i always, and i mean always, use a waterproof permanent marker number 313 made by staedtler. i believe these are intended, amongst other uses, to make permanent markers on the asetate sheets used for overhead projectors. The pen has a very fine nib, and does not scratch the CD. It dries more or less instantly, but I always wait around 1 to 2 minutes before inserting the CD back into the drive.
