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
