This product together with the Avery "stomper" works like gangbusters. Full color graphic printing comes out beautifully. No problems with drying, I wait an hour or so just to be sure. I use Canon MX870 ink jet all-in-one printer. I use CorelDraw 10 to make the graphic for the disc. I prepared my own template by scanning a picture of the template and with measurement and testing, it worked fine. (Vertical distance between two graphics is exactly five inches to make things easy. You make the upper graphic then drop duplicate down 5" to get lower graphic.)

I have been using the non-full face labels for years and hated the big hole in the center. Now I realize the full face version requires only a 5/8" hole at the center. Much easier and elegant artistically. Why does anyone want the old type? The hole in the disc is just under 5/8".

The Avery "stomper" fixture Avery CD/DVD Label Applicator ( 5699 ) has a provision to grab the two "ears" on the Avery labels. This makes centering and application very easy and precise. My old "Stomper" is retired as it lacks the ear holders.

I have had no problems with the label separating in the printer or gumming up my player, but my experience on this is limited.

Labels are excellent in quality, but Matte White Full Face (8960) hard to use with stomper a they curl up on the stomper.

These labels are real good but the price is a killer. These should be half the price they are but they are just about the only product out there. A viable alternative is the Ace Disc Labels (61460)from tapeonline.com you get 100 labels for around 20 bucks, depending on where you live. A much better deal but you have to be more careful applying them because they don't have the "handles" the Avery labels have. Otherwise, they're identical.

Sorry, but this product is a complete waste of money. Not only do they not adhere well but when you proceed to try to correct this problem low and behold the ink smudges! This is after allowing the labels to dry for 10 hours! The glossy surface of this label does not absorb the ink properly! For a dollar per label I am very disappointed with this product. Do not waste your money on these!

Nice glossy labels. But can never get the imagage to line up on the lable using the software from the avery web site

The picture is wrong. This are the 8944 labels not the 8942 labels seen in Amazon's picture so you will get the correct product. Its the product title that is important, not the picture.

They are slightly glossy and a little bit transparent so you may see markings or words on the CD through the label. If you print a dark design on the label though you won't see through it though.

They are easy to apply without having air bubbles. There are 2 tabs on each label to hold onto when applying the label and they rip off afterwords. There are also labels for spine of the cd case. The part where the tabs rip off the labels leaves a little bit of a white edge.

These are deifnely cheaper than buying in store where is runs about $20, plus tax so you save about $5 on each pack.

The Avery DesignPro program that is used with these labels is easy to use and free.

I love these DVD labels. Since the hole is quite small you are able to put a very impressive label on your DVD's without losing much of the picture. I put pictures on the labels to make them more interesting and to make the content more recognizable.

I've been using Avery full-gloss labels now for the last 5 years. The adhesive never seems to fail. The label on the front indicates that these are ink-jet labels but they can actually be used in one type of laser printer that will accept them and that's only if you run it through a Xerox Doc 250 Laser printer, found in most FedEx Kinkos and Officemax stores. The labels almost appear to have that "silk-screened" look to them once applied to your CD-R. I only hope they work for the next Xerox laser machine, once the Doc 12 becomes obsolete.

My church uses these for CDs of its services. They look a whole lot better than matte labels do. Printing directly to CD would be spiffier still (hence the absence of the fifth star)but the price of a CD printer will buy a lot of soup and bus tokens for the indigent. So, all in all, a pretty good solution for the price.

Good quality labels; easy to print and put on. The only negative is that is is relatively expensive.
