Alternatives to Stoplight Pen RIP


Now that Audio Prism--makers of the CD Stoplight Pen--have gone out of business, I'm wondering if I can substitute any green, permanent magic marker. Will black work as well as green? Should I apply it only to the edges or to parts of the surfaces?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

I'm sure someone has some backstock...I'd better get one myself before they are all gone...been a fan of them since 91.
No, you cannot use any marker.

No, black will not work as well.

I would call Red Rose Music, as they were big believers in the product. I also had been told that they had bought Audioprism a few years back. But, that may have just been the amplifier line.

Good luck,
Richard
oh...yeah...and ditto what Richard says...I tried the black sharpie laundry markers...they don't work as well.

While i've not had any positive experiences using markers on CD edges, someone posted here or at AA about a specific Cyan coloured marker working best. This has to do with the specific wavelength of light emitted by the laser and the amount of absorption / reflection that the Cyan achieves. Sean
