Default OT: CD labelling?

Hi, there:
I searched about programs and type of paper used for CD labelling at the forum and found MacroMedia FreeHand seems to be a good software for that, but i'd like to know some other options (not that expensive) and different experiences about CD labelling.
Waht about 'exPressit'? CD Stumper?
I've been told that Neato is a pain to work with. Is it true?
Thanks,
Alex

Epson 900 or 960 and printable CDR media. No labels to come off or get stuck in a car player.

Oh, I forgot to mention. I already have photoshop and Illustrator, although still trying to learn how to use'em.
Are there templates for CD label standard papers for those programs?

I highly recommend against stick on labels. If you must print on the disc, use a printable CD-R. Label easily come off, get suck in expensive cr stereos, and make clients really really angry at you.

I agree with "Where".... stay away from stick-on labeling.

Here's a decent article on CDR's in general, but includes some
discussion about labels.

Hope this helps.

Dave

Greetings.

I agree with Rail. I use the Epson 900, a Canon as well, have heard that the Epson 2100 is terrific also.

I will be buying the Primera Bravo this year (because of the extra work coming in.)

Best regards,

Haigbabe

PS Once you have frigged around with labels for a hundred or so CD/DVDs, you'll never want to see one again!
