    I use the Sharpie, only because it gets me high at the same time. J/K haha. It's simple and costs me $1. Can't go wrong.

    I had problems playing my backups until I realized it was my stick-on labels. Nothing but sharpies for me, I like dark blue; they show up well.

    Sharpie comments were funnier than hell...LOL!!!

    Anyways...I use a disc labeler...I get about 100 labels for every dvd that I have burned. So it last awhile. I never had any problems with my sticker labels playing in any of my DVD players.

    I used a Sharpie before, but since my handwriting is atrocious to begin with, I decided that I would just use a labeling machine.

    :p

    Yeah...you know me...never left, but do lurk around, so you'll never know when I'll pop up. ;)

    Been seeing some familiar names and faces starting to make the rounds here on aD more and more, congrats.

    And at the comments...they still make me laugh...I still got PLENTY of jokes to throw back...and I STILL use Memorex! LMAO!!!

    Anywho...just a side note, was thinking of getting a dual layered w/light scribe, but don't think it is worth the money. Printed on labels and non handwriting ability are kinda stale for me, so figured I would try another option. If anyone has any suggestions, that would be good. Just PM me with any links or what have you.

    you guys need to get over your sharpie buzz. go get a r200 for 70 bucks. best money you can spend. i use TY hub printables and find the dvd label online. these things look amazing after you make a few. I even use some krylon spray to protect against smudges and water. it even adds a little gloss. anyone who still uses sharpies needs to think about this.

     Why spend the $$ on a printer and ink? My backups are for personal use only {I'm no pirate} and all I need is a way to distinguish between my discs ...
