cd label software
« on: June 16, 2007, 09:57:05 AM »
I used to use an online cd label maker. It was a weblink form I got from someone on etree years ago where I could enter show data into a form and when you would submit, it'd create a pdf for you, which were perfectly formatted cd labels. That link is long since inactive and I'm wondering if it's moved or if someone can recommend something similar that they use.  Thanks in advance for your kind assistance!

I use similar software - CD DVD Label Maker, but it is a separate program rather than online application. You can purchase it for only $ 20, but with it you can create great labels, covers and inserts

I am using a template within CorelDraw. Personally I avoid labels since I discovered that they distroyed many of my CD-r´s from the mid-90´s.

Im running Epsons "Print CD" - that came with my printer. ( I think it will print to any printer on plain paper)  Its a free download at Epson's site.

But - I agree...stick on labels come with the risk of disc damage...a little old fashioned.

Printing right on the disc is best. I just rolled 150 last night! And I've run over 500 in the past few months.

Epson 730 + Continuous Ink Supply = the way to go.

I ran into this recently. It allows you to download ZIP files that contain JPGs. I've been using the "Inlay for Jewel Case" tab for simple digital cover art files.

It stamps a watermark at the bottom of the image, but I've been erasing it with my free image editor Gimp.

I used to use CD Insert Creator, which I thought superb.  Unfortunately it doesn't run on 64bit machines and the company doesn't seem to exist anymore.

There have been other threads on this, this is what I've used for discs -->DiscLabel  Along with a Dymo disc printer and their proprietary software for it, their disc printer is no longer available but you may be able to find them used.

Stick on adhesive labels also increase the disc thickness and I have found that many auto CD players will not play them and or they seem to get stuck in the player, especially in hot summer days when they have the potential to lift.  Sharpie Ultra Fine markers work nice, not professional, but they work and they do not smear.

If you have to print, I would invest as runonce noted in getting a printer that prints directly to CD as noted using an Epson 730 or even the new Epson Artisan 1430 does a good job at a decent cost for a printer.  The inks cost more than the printers these days :)  You also need to purchase CD's that are branded blank for printing,

Anyone still using Light Scribe?

Not using lightscribe, I print right on the discs directly with the Dymo Disc Printer as long as I have ink in it.  Some inkjet printers allow you to print directly on discs too, mine does not.  Definitely agree with 404 stay away from paper labels for discs, if you can't print directly on them use a marker to write on them.  When I'm out of ink that's exactly what I do.

I use SureThing disc labeler:

It's probably the least intuitive UI I've seen, but it has a very comprehensive array of features; very powerful. (once you get used to it)
