wrote: 5. Sanford says that the Sharpie is less safe than their own pens with water-based inks. Pointer? But, then again, what would the manufacturer know about his product? Manufacturers know a lot about marketing new products. Are you saying that alcohol might be dangerous to lacquer (huh?), or that the ink/dye/whatever in the alcohol based marker might be more dangerous than the ink/dye/whatever in the water based marker? [NOTE: There are discs with a durable overcoating which can survive alcohols and for which the Sharpie is fine. How do you know that the overcoating is less susceptible? How do you know that the overcoating won't react with a Sharpie and ultimately raise hell by creating stuff that affects the lacquer more than the Sharpie by itself would have affected the lacquer? I use a Sharpie on discs prepared for ink-jet printing, for example, but for those without such an overcoating, I use the TDK CD Writer or another pen with water-based ink. How do you know that that ink won't be worse than the ink in a Sharpie? N |
