Don’t Scratch the Top of a CD!  by: Adam Platzer That’s right! Scratching the top of a CD (the screen printed side) can be damaging to the integrity of the CD. Most people try to avoid scratches and blemishes from occurring on the bottom side of the CD. But in reality, the top is the more vulnerable side. Here’s how it works: When a CD is manufactured plastic is formed through a injection molding process that creates tiny pits and lands which make up the data on the media. Once the plastic CD has been molded a layer of metallic and lacquer is applied to the top side in order to protect the data which is imbedded close to the top of the CD. Scratches and blemishes can penetrate the thin metallic and lacquer coatings and potentially damage the media. Play it safe! Always protect both sides of the media! Tips for Protecting CD’s From Scratches: - Keep CDs in a protective case such as a clamshell, jewel case, etc. - Only use markers made for writing on CD’s. Do not use ball point pens, etc. About The Author Adam Platzer Spinergy CD/DVD Replication, Duplication, and Screen Printing Phone: 800-333-1328 http://www.spinergymedia.com adam.platzer@spinergymedia.com This article was posted on April 07, 2005   View More Videos from the "Computers and Internet" category: Signing up for LavaLife Online Dating Service Sendmail's Sentrion for Enterprise Message Management David Tochterman on Digital Content Release Internationally Planning Your Wedding Online - Wedding Day Blogs, Profiles and More in The Knot   Read More Articles from the "Computers and Internet" Category: Why Businesses Need to Start Nurturing Collective Wisdom by Marcus Goncalves How Important Is Wikipedia In The Grand Scheme Of Things? by Bill Platt The Brother HL 2700 Printer, All You Have To To Have For Your Business Office Print Needs by Ben Pate Could the New Google Spider Be Causing Issues With Websites? by Rob Sullivan Australia MYOB Book Keeper Software by Steele Rudd Expert Guide to SOny's HDV camcorder by Kenny Hemphill The Cheapskate and No Stress ISP’s by Harriet Silkwood Is Expired Domain Registration Still Profiotable? by Stanley Spencer The Many Faces of Google by Steve Bis Why Isn';t My Laptop Battery Charging? by Green Rudd << Back to "Computers And Internet" Index
