CD/DVD Labels

For some time I have been using “CD Stomper” to produce stick on labels for my CDs and DVDs.


I was in the habit of copying CDs for use in the car, so that I didn’t get the original nicked.


One day when I was trying to change to a different CD it refused to come out through the slot. After I found somewhere to stop I examined it and found that the label had rippled. After some time I finally got it out without any damage. So I have since then marked my disks with a pen and printed outer labels for the jewel cases.


As I moved into DVD I wanted to produce a more professional looking label so I bought TDK CD label printer. The image above shows the software. It only prints in black, but it does no damage to the disks and it produces a clear label.


The user can select from a number of templates for Video, Images Data, Music etc. This sets up the layout for you. You may then type in your information and then place the DVD or CD into the printer and it prints. They cost about £50 but I have seen them at lower prices. Many of the newer ink jet printers have a carriage for CDs - this enables printing directly onto the disk.
