Most of the big "writing implement" firms now seem to have a line of 
"CD Markers".  Those from Staedtler are almost indistinguishable from 
their permanent OHP pens to look at, but perhaps they do have a 
different composition?

Faber-Castell has their "Multimark permanent" that they say is 
suitable for CDs as well as the usual impervious substrates.

I bought one brand for marking CDs that claimed to be "water based".  
I was a bit doubtful about its durability on a CD, but in fact it did 
seem to work okay.

As I've mentioned before, the only fairly generic warning I've seen in 
the fine print on CDR packs is to avoid alcohol-based pens.


Cheers, Phred.
