Product Information

Full details

This guide is for users who need to reliably label and mark CDs, DVDs, BDs, and other surfaces without damaging the data layer. The Staedtler Lumocolor Permanent Marker Pen offers a superfine tip for precision and ink that won't penetrate sensitive media, drying quickly for smudge-proof results. A potential caveat is that while it's dry safe for days, prolonged uncapped periods in extreme conditions might still affect performance.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Will the ink damage my CDs/DVDs?

No, the ink is specifically formulated not to penetrate the data storage layer, protecting the integrity of your discs.

Can I leave the cap off this marker?

Yes, the 'dry safe' feature allows it to be left uncapped for several days in normal atmospheric conditions without drying out.

Is this marker suitable for labeling photos?

Yes, it works well on photographic paper and produces smudge-proof, waterproof marks once dry.

What surfaces can I use this marker on?

It is suitable for CDs, DVDs, BDs, plastic, photo paper, and most other smooth surfaces.

How long does the ink last on a surface?

The ink provides excellent smudge-proof and waterproof qualities, ensuring durability on most surfaces once properly dried.

Is the ink permanent?

Yes, the ink is permanent and designed for long-lasting marks. It is not easily removed once dry.

Why is it good for left-handed users?

The ink dries very quickly (in seconds), which prevents smudging for left-handed writers who might otherwise drag their hand across the freshly marked surface.

Troubleshooting

Marker does not write or is faint.

Ensure the cap was properly replaced after last use. If left uncapped for an extended period, try scribbling on scrap paper for a few moments to reactivate the ink. Store horizontally.

Ink smudges immediately after writing.

Allow more drying time. Ensure the surface is clean and dry before marking. For left-handed users, this is less likely due to the quick-drying ink.

Tip is damaged or frayed.

The superfine tip is delicate. Avoid excessive pressure or applying the marker to rough surfaces. If the tip is damaged, the marker may need replacement.

Pros and Cons

  • Excellent smudge-proof and waterproof qualities.

Cons

  • Ink may eventually dry out if left uncapped for extremely long periods or in very dry environments.
  • Packaging may vary, which could be a minor aesthetic concern for some.
  • While waterproof when dry, prolonged immersion in water may still affect the mark.

Care:
