Does anyone know a way...CD Label

[Guest]

Does anyone know a way of using office or a FREE to use site that lets you
print CD labels.

And if so what paper should i use so its not to thick for a dvd player, so
it doesn't rip. Is it OK to just glue it etc etc?

ARGH!! Glue paper to a disk??? You do know that there are labels out there,
don't you? You have to purchase them but if you want truly free - use that
marker that's in your desk drawer.

I meant when you can design a cover on the computer and it prints it like in
a cd shape, not A FRONT COVER. And circuler cover to go on the actual CD. ARGH

So do I. I use a "fer-real" program (CD Stomper). There are round labels
with holes in the middle. Check your local office supply house. There may
even be some low-cost software programs out there. I think I got mine at
Sam's Club for about $25. The refills cost maybe $15 for more than what I'll
probably ever need.

In fact, some studies have indicated that even self-stick labels
intended for use on CD-R and CD-RW disks cause the data-carrying layer
to deteriorate much faster than normal. I don't use them any more
except for music CDs that will probably be trashed in a year or less.

Don't use just any marker. The water-based ones will smear. Use a
fine-tip permanent marker such as a Sanford Sharpie
(http://www.staples.com/webapp/wcs/s...0051&langId=-1&productId=124747&cmArea=SEARCH).

I can endorse this. I have a huge collection of material copied from vinyl
(http://www.gmayor.com/CDR_Pages.htm). The earliest about five years old are
deteriorating and I am having to rip and rewrite the discs while they are
still readable. This has added a lot of extra work and expense. I now no
longer label my disc copies.

If you must label them, use good quality labels such as the excellent
(though expensive) CD Stomper labels.

Do not label data discs. Data discs spin round at many thousands of rpm
(52X?) and any out of balance forces can cause the disc to shatter, which
will really ruin your day.

DVD discs are even more prone to label related problems and should never be
labelled other than with a disc printer.

Well, at least I'm using the good stuff. And I didn't think they were
that costly.

Someone is paying you too much The glossy labels are about three times
the price of the unnamed alternatives - but they are the best.

Me? Paid too much? I'm the one who was making a hair over minimum wage on a
part-time job until recently. I got my labels at Sams Club and haven't
looked at the price of the no-frills brand because I use so few of them.
Maybe that's why I haven't noticed a price difference.
