Could you let us know later on if the CD marker fades, please? I found
fading with ordinary permanent felt markers, and changed to
old-fashioned chinagraph, which seems to last longer than the plastic
itself. For some things I made extra-long labels and wrote on both ends
so that the buried end was protected from light.


The CD markers I used last year have lasted well with no fading. I don't
tend to use standard CD markers though - I use permanent OHP markers. Often
CD markers don't have a fine enough tip, or the tip splays. OHP ones tend
to give a cleaner edge.

The one problem with them not fading is you can't re-use the labels (ok you
can use the other side, but you know what I mean). I tend to be too much in
a hurry to gather up the old ones en masse and clean them off with some
alcohol.
