Re: arsclist polypropylene and tyvek liners

For archival purposes, we do not recommend placing labels on the disc or
writing on the label surface. Instead, place labels them on the jewel
case. If disc identification is required, record a short serial number
on the clear inner ring using a soft-tip pen with a water-based ink. We
use the Dixon RediSharp Plus for that purpose.
