1.0 out of 5 stars Looks pretty but ruins discs, October 22, 2004

This review is from: Avery 98107 CD-Stomper Pro CD Applicator with Software and Labels (Office Product)

I've used CD Stomper for well over two years and I can attest that it is very easy to use. The software is intuitive and the labels look amazing on the CD (especially if you use the glossy labels with photographic level images.) I am a self proclaimed neat-nick and these labels have really dressed up my audio CD backups, software archive discs and DVD discs. Until recently I have been a devoted CD Stomper user and advocate.

BEWARE! The glossy labels will warp the disc over time. I've never used the thinner, matte labels so have no experience with them or their archival quality. I went to view a DVD archive that I had labeled about 18 months ago and the discs are warped beyond usability. Thinking it must be inferior media (Datawrite brand) I started to check my archived discs and older audio CDs. The media brands of these other discs include: Maxell, Memorex, Philips, Sony, and Verbatim. They all are exhibiting the warping to varying degrees all based on age. The longer the label is affixed to the disc, the more it will warp it. When pealing a label off the backing before it is applied you will notice an extreme curve toward the printed side. Who would guess that a piece of paper could exert enough force to bend a plastic CD?

5.0 out of 5 stars Get the Professional look for pennies on the dollar!, April 6, 2006

This is the only way to go if you want professional looking CD labels. Whether you're using them just for fun with your personal CD collection or you're producing professional products for sale, this is the right product for you!

Despite some other reviews, this product does NOT warp discs! You must use common sense when using products! This kit comes with a base (the stomper) and you just place the label sticky side up on the base and place the CD onto the label. You don't have to use force to apply the label. Following these guidelines will produce perfectly centered labels every time! However, if you apply a great deal of force when applying the label, you should probably expect some damage to your disc. Once again, use common sense. This is a simple product, so just follow the directions without adding your own, and you'll be fine!

I use this product to label CDs of audio sermons at my church. It works great! You can use any photo you have or will take, or you can use one of the many photos that come with the kit. The software only took me about fifteen minutes to become familiar with. Once I had that down, the only thing left was having fun with the designs. This software has limitless possibilities, and I really enjoy the feature that lets you add ANY photo as a background for a label!

Whatever your task, this product will give you the WOW effect!

Highly recommended to all!

1.0 out of 5 stars Warning to users, July 25, 2007

By 

Doug (White Plains, NY United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Avery 98107 CD-Stomper Pro CD Applicator with Software and Labels (Office Product)

As a person who spent months of aggrevation dealing with this company, I'd like to offer a warning to anyone considering using this product.

In 2003, I purchased this software as part of a "CD STOMPER" package. Moments after installing it, I was told I needed an upgrade. After spending an unecessary amount of time getting the upgrade via online download, the problems continued. Without getting into detail, the long and short of it was that the product was not functioning as described: Images were being resized without my consent, and printed images were consistently poor in quality even when the source files were 600dpi.

After multiple attempts to contact tech support via the website, an employee finally answered me in one of the online forums. Unfortunately, not only was the help ineffective, but his responses were few and far between. Eventually, anything I posted was ignored. In addition, users with similar issues were also ignored.

I then tried contacting the company via email, and the responses were even slower. I decided to try the website once more, only to find that my IP had been banned from posting. I was furious, and decided to call the company ASAP.

After getting the runaround, I was told QUOTE: "my comments were not constructive to the tech support forum," and that, technically I was "not a click n design customer." According to the person on the phone, I had purchased their software as part of a "CD STOMPER" package that was put together by Avery. When I told them that I was using an upgrade that Click N' Design had been given to me DIRECTLY BY STOMP via registered online download, the person on the phone claimed that I was "really not supposed to have that version," and that I was "given that version out of the goodness of their hearts" (no lie). They then indicated that access to the tech support area of their site was banned, and that I wasn't a customer. I told them that if I was ignored, I'd be forced to contact the local office of the Better Business Bureau, and I hung up.

Shortly thereafter, I forwarded my concerns to the Avery corporation, as well as any corporate contacts for the Stomp, Inc. company who put out Click 'n' Design. Avery in particular was shocked and dismayed at the behavior of Stomp, Inc. After months of back and forth, the company finally decided to issue me a refund for the initial package purchase I made.

In closing, I must say that anyone and everyone should avoid this product and company. Their product was faulty, their tech support was rude and innefective, and their customer relations department was insulting and uneducated.

Don't make the same mistake I did, folks.
