Product Information

Full details

The Edding 8400 CD/DVD/BD Marker is designed for anyone needing to permanently label optical media like CDs, DVDs, and Blu-ray discs. Its key benefit is providing smudge-free, water-based ink that ensures data safety without damaging surfaces. A slight caveat is that the ink is water-based, which may require careful handling in extremely wet conditions, though it is water-resistant once dry. This marker features a bullet tip for consistent line width, quick-drying ink, and is available in multiple colors.

FAQs

Is the ink truly safe for CDs and DVDs?

Yes, the Edding 8400 uses a special pigment ink and a soft nib designed to mark permanently without damaging the delicate surface of optical media, ensuring data safety.

What is the line width of the marker?

The bullet tip provides a stroke width ranging from 0.5 mm to 1 mm.

Can I use this marker on other surfaces besides discs?

While optimized for CDs, DVDs, and Blu-ray discs, it can also be used on OHP transparencies. Performance on other surfaces like plastic or glossy paper may vary.

How long does the ink take to dry?

The ink is quick-drying, allowing for handling and stacking of discs shortly after labeling.

Is the ink waterproof once dry?

What colors are available?

How should I store the marker?

Store the marker horizontally with the cap securely fastened to ensure even ink flow and prevent drying out.

Troubleshooting

Marker is not writing or skipping

Ensure the cap was securely replaced after the last use. If the tip appears dry, try gently scribbling on a scrap piece of paper to re-initiate ink flow. If it persists, the marker may have dried out.

Ink smudging immediately after writing

Allow the ink a few extra seconds to dry. Ensure you are not applying excessive pressure or rubbing the surface immediately after writing.

Tip appears damaged or deformed

Avoid applying excessive pressure to the disc surface. If the tip is physically damaged, the marker may need replacement for optimal performance.
