Does anyone know of a vendor of forms for printing labels for CDs? Presumably they would have a "sticky" layer that would be peeled off so the label could be affixed to the CD. How about a MS WORD template for formatting the CD title and track titles? The PRINT LABEL interace of POWER2GO is pretty good, but I don't see a way to print to anything but plain paper.

Thanks for any ideas! SweetTasha.

Office Max, Staples, and Walmart carries them. Manufacturers are Memorex, Avery, Fellows, etc. They were popular twenty years ago and many starter kits were sold at give away prices. This fell out of favor when people started using them on 4x DVDs and 8x BDs.

What printer do you have? many have a built in disc printer - no need for a separate program. The printer probably came with a program to print discs. You will need to buy printable discs.

In the past, I used surething label maker. They have 3 levels and a free trial. Go here.

I think what tomasc was referring to was the tendency of the labels to peel off in higher speed players (discs) like the ones he mentioned. It was a real issue trying to get those peeled off labels out of the slots/trays/internals.

Never never never put sticky labels on discs.
They throw the balance off, peel, shrink, and warp discs.
I use printable discs with an Epson 7100. HP Envy Phoenix/4thGen i7-4770(4@3.4GHz~turbo>3.9)
