Permanent Marker ICO 200-01486 for CD/DVD, 0.4 mm tip, black

ICO permanent marker model 200-01486 for CD/DVD features a fine 0.4 mm tip and black permanent ink formulated for writing on optical disc surfaces. The marker delivers precise, thin lines suitable for small text and symbols on CDs and DVDs, and the ink is designed to adhere to glossy and matte disc coatings without smudging during handling. This tool is compact and easy to control, allowing clear, durable labeling of discs for archiving, distribution or personal collections.

Advantages

The fine 0.4 mm tip enables accurate, legible writing and detailed markings on limited disc label space. Black permanent ink provides high contrast on most disc surfaces and dries quickly to reduce the risk of smears. The marker is intended to write reliably on both glossy and matte CD/DVD coatings and resists normal handling and exposure to indoor light. Its slim barrel supports controlled strokes for neat text and small symbols.

Suitable for

• Labeling CDs and DVDs for archives and libraries
• Marking media for office distribution and backups
• Home use for personal media collections and recordings
• Detail work requiring thin, precise lines on disc surfaces

Key specifications

• Tip size: 0.4 mm fine tip for precise writing
• Ink color: black permanent ink
• Compatible surfaces: optical disc coatings (CD, DVD) — glossy and matte
• Drying behavior: quick-drying to minimize smudging
• Barrel: slim design for controlled handling

How to use

Ensure the disc surface is clean and free of dust, fingerprints or moisture before writing. Shake the marker briefly if recommended by the manufacturer, then press the tip gently to start ink flow. Write with light, steady strokes to maintain a consistent line width and avoid pressing too hard, which can damage the disc surface. Allow the ink to dry completely before stacking or inserting the disc into sleeves or drives.

Usage recommendations

For best results, test the marker on a spare disc or on an unobtrusive area to confirm compatibility with the disc coating. Store the marker horizontally with the cap on to maintain ink flow and prevent drying. Avoid exposure to extreme heat or direct sunlight for prolonged periods to preserve label legibility.
