What I was interested in was the interaction between an insert card and
the CD in a jewel case. For example you print an information card to go
inside the cover of the jewel case using a laser or inkjet printer. Is
there any chance of the paper or ink/toner affecting the disc even it
doesn't touch the disc? Could non alkaline paper affect the disc?
Thanks.
