Another way of circumventing the whole issue of using CD ink markers might
be presented by Yamaha's CRW-F1 CD burner. Apparently text or graphics can
be burnt directly onto the disc.

The Yamaha approach may be cute but it is impractical from all reports. It requires specific media for the writing to be visible. It uses unburned portions of the disc so storage efficiency is compromised. Visibility is substantially less than a marker would provide and very little text can be written.

Note that while conventional marking allows the user to see the contents before removing the disc, T@oo (or whatever) requires you to open the packaging and read the bottom of the disc at the edge. Even slipping it into a window envelope working side forward won't help; the envelope covers the information.
