[PADG:1279] Surface printing on CDs and DVDs

[Ann Marie Willer <amwillerala@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

Thanks to Tyra for the handy links below.  Can anyone suggest resources about the long-term effects of surface printing on CDs and DVDs or perhaps relay your own experience?  One of our librarians is wondering if surface printing is a way to safely label discs that are dub masters. 

 

Thanks,

Ann Marie

Three recent works on CDs/DVDs; I suspect you have these but not sure others have seen all three.
