-=PCTechTalk=- Re: CD Label Printers

Fred Langa did some research on the use of labels on CD-ROM disks 
(www.langa.com, publishes a VERY good newsletter in free or paid editions. 
Both are very worthwhile).  Bottom line is that sticking labels on your CDs 
will shorten their lifespan considerably.  If you want to keep it simple and 
black ink will do, buy a Sharpie.  I use multiple colors and buy them on 
sale.

You could also try playing with a CD label printer software and try printing 
your label on the paper sleeve you put the CD into instead of printing it on 
a label.  Or, print your info on an address label and stick it on the 
sleeve.  Or, keep your disks in a plastic case and print an insert to go in 
the case or print a label and stick it on the case (or on the sleeve).

Just don't stick a label on a CD that you want to last more than a very few 
years.
