Subject: [PADG:1279] Surface printing on CDs and DVDs


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

	I'll try again to send these links (which somehow didn't make it
to the list)...all of these are worth knowing about.  Tyra Grant
	Three recent works on CDs/DVDs; I suspect you have these but not
sure others have seen all three.
