Strange question, but it directly relates to preservation of classic
computer data. My perfered brand of CD/DVD blanks are the Verbatim
DataLifePlus disks. There is no doubt in my mind that these disks have a
good long lifespan (though I do need to see about doing a data refresh on
some).
However, due to their cost, they are no longer that easy to obtain. One
source I've been considering using seems to only sell the ones that are
"InkJet Printer" ready. I have no desire to use an inkjet printer to do
this, does anyone know how safe is it to use a standard "CD Marker" on these
blanks? It seems to me that these might actually be easier to write on, and
be able to read what you've written than most I've been using.
