    <pre> I feel odd asking the listserv about pens, but this does have to do with imaging, indirectly.

    I was in the process of backing up our image files onto CD and looked at a CD I had burned 6 months ago. The ink from the permanent ink pen I had used (Kaiser - Schreiber) has bled from the letters into the surrounding white on the label layer. I don't know if it's limited to the label layer or it has/will bleed into the CD substrata (I can still use the CD, so this is not an impending crisis). I was wondering if this is a common experience or if there are other pens I should be using. Perhaps the PEC Pens?

    Feel free to reply directly to my e-mail.
