Permanent Marker BIC Marker Grip CD/DVD Black — permanent ink for labeling optical discs

Permanent BIC Marker Grip CD/DVD Black is a fine-tip permanent marker created for clear, durable labeling of optical media surfaces. The marker delivers quick-drying, smudge-resistant black ink formulated to write on CDs and DVDs without damaging data layers or leaving excessive residue. Its slim barrel and textured grip support controlled writing for neat text, small notes, and precise marks on disc centers and printable faces.

Advantages

The marker's permanent ink dries rapidly and resists smearing, ensuring readable labels soon after writing. A fine tip provides accuracy for small or detailed text while the ergonomic, non-slip Grip design improves handling and reduces hand fatigue during repetitive labeling tasks. The ink formulation is suited for common optical disc surfaces and maintains legibility over time.

Suitable for

• Labeling audio, video, or data CDs and DVDs
• Organizing archived discs in home or office collections
• Creating readable titles and dates on burned discs for distribution or gifting
• Small-scale professional use in studios, schools, or libraries

Key specifications

• Ink color: black
• Tip type: fine point for precise writing
• Ink characteristics: permanent, quick-drying, smudge-resistant
• Barrel: slim design with textured grip for improved control
• Intended surfaces: optical discs (CD and DVD printable surfaces and label areas)

How to use

Before writing, ensure the disc surface is clean and free of dust, oil, or fingerprints. Remove the cap and allow the tip to prime if new; test on a spare disc or non-critical area to confirm ink flow. Write with light, steady strokes; allow a few seconds for the ink to dry fully before stacking or handling the disc. Replace the cap after use to prevent tip drying.

Usage recommendations

Use on manufacturer-approved printable disc surfaces and avoid writing directly on reflective data areas near the disc center. Store the marker horizontally at room temperature and keep the cap closed when not in use. If labeling important archives, consider writing title and date on both disc and cover for redundancy.
