Re: Real-world ink longevity test

Bull***.

CD and DVD dyes may not last "forever", but they will last many decades. Lots of attempts to estimate the lives of some of them come up with numbers in the 150 year range. None of them, properly burned on good, working equipment, has a life anywhere near as short as only a decade or two. And that is for the least stable of the dye types. Just don't expect "-R" (rewriteable) media to have decades of stability. And do understand that some drives are defective (low power laser) and don't burn with enough power to properly heat the media to the proper temperature, but that is not the fault of the dye.

It is very obvious that you are totally misinformed. DVD, CD, and any other electronic media degrades over time. The dye on this media does degrade and every 5 to 10 years it is pudent to recopy and thing that has worth. Maybe you say this because nothing you have has any worth. I do not know. But do not post this misinformation. Do some research on Google and you will find these facts out.
