Can you write on it with a Sharpie, or will it bleed?

You can use black sharpie and it doesn't bleed, it's a plastic strip. Not really tape....

Yes you would be able to write on the outside. It would have to be with a permanent marker tho.

They do not smear on paper or porous surfaces , but do on non-porous surfaces such as plastic, metal, painted wood, etc.If you leave the pen in one place, it will bleed through to the other side, but in normal writing, it won't (on regular paper). If you are using very thin paper (tissue paper, onion skin paper, etc.) it will bleed through, just like any other marker.

I used the sharpie on my wedding photo (20 X 30) as guest sign in (printed from Shutterfly!) It worked perfectly. The sharpie point was fine enough for easy writing and it did not seep through the back.

a Sharpie should never come off anything - period. buy a dry erase or take one from work from one of your conf rooms

very little bleeding, actually. they write very well on thin paper, even newsprint. but that mostly depends on the ink and quality of the paper... more factors than just the pen. messy? if you write *really* slowly, i could see it getting a little wet and sloppy, but... i don't think you'll have a problem.

You could use pen or sharpie. They are small though, so you will need a fine point.

Do you mean "Do I need labels"? Labels are nice, of course, but you can also write on the top of the disc with a permanent marker, with some caveats. There are now thoughts that even marker ink will eventually bleed through the top surface and degrade your recording. Here is a good article on the subject, including info on newer markers deemed safer: http://www.tapeonline.com/articles/using-permanent-ink-markers-on-cds-dvds Amazon currently has some of these "safer" markers for sale. I haven't tried them myself - just look for "Sharpie CD/DVD Twin Tip Permanent Markers" here.

No, not really. If you flip your paper over, you may be able to see that you have written on the other side. For sure doesn't if you use card stock. Regardless, it's NOTHING close to how a sharpie bleeds. Hope that helps !

If you have a really wet fountain pen it will bleed a little bit, but its fairly bleed resistant.

No. You need a regular felt tip for that purpose. The pens are excellent for writing...and no bleed through.

yes,you can use the Sharpie pen to do this (not the ones with a felt-like tip, unless you want to), and it's a big piece of wood. These are available in push button fine point model which would certainly work, if (and here's the big if) everyone has a small size signature, or, it's a small wedding. Either of these pens would work providing the wood is unfinished, and no one tries to correct their writing, as these are both very permanent

A Sharpie pen doesn't write all that well on surfaces like the Sharpie markers, but it's worth a try! I recommend Sakura Pigma Micron pens for wood and an important event memory as your wedding. It is archival ink and doesn't fade in time and writes well! Congratulations and all the best.

Yes and no. I could write on a shirt and not have bleed thorough. Kids coloring on shirts will have some on areas they color heavily. A piece of paper inside the shirt is enough to prevent market on the back side, but the reverse of the front of the shirt will have some visible ink....

This is partially dependent on the ink, but for the standard blue that comes with this, there's no bleeding *through* regular paper. I take notes with mine and it's just fine. It's a little difficult to write on the back of the page, though, because you can see the writing on the front (not much, though). Slow writing is actually better for this as long as you don't stab the paper with your pen (or otherwise apply excessive pressure).

The pens writer really smoothly and don't bleed through regular paper. The Sharpie ultra fine markers produce bold permanent color with a fine writing tip. They will bleed through standard paper.

Yes, A Sharpie (or similar) marker works fine. I highly recommend these CDR's. I've used many hundreds of them in my studio, and have never had a bad burn, or, with reasonable care, have a copy refuse to play in subsequent years.
