Re: [JFW] JFW and Roxio CD Label Creator

Hi Francis and Chris
Dye is not used for recording CD's.  The data is burned into the foil 
that is beneath the plastic of the CD surface with a laser.  When a CD 
is read, a laser is also used there as well.

Now!!

The legitimate concern for labelling CD's is that the chemicals in most 
markers will eat through the plastic coating, and can break down the 
recorded medium.  You can purchase special markers, or simply use water 
based markers for writing on CD's

Cheers

Craig
