2.0 out of 5 stars But, why!, January 3, 2000

By 

Kelly Richardson (Murray, Utah) - See all my reviews

These are excellent labels, at an equally excellent price...But, WHY do they fold the sheet in half to fit it into the box! Only after VERY CAREFULLY unfolding the individual sheets, and "unbending" the several creases, folds and "curly-cues" are you able to put them through your laser printer. THEN, I would say that approximately 1/3 of them get jammed in the works, ruining one or both labels that come on a sheet. Furthermore, with my printer I have to disassemble my equipment in order to fish out the crumpled labels sheet.

4.0 out of 5 stars Labelez votre CDs!, May 1, 2003

"labelez"? I kinda doubt that's correct...

I've used these for a few years now. They work. There are some definite consistency issues between pages as the labels aren't always cut in the same place, but the other brands I've tried (Avery in particular) had similar problems.

The secrets to doing consistently successful CD labels on any brand of label paper? Background images should be signficantly larger than the label and also cover the hub completely, keep lettering well within the label (1/8" minimum clearance from the edges recommended), and do test prints on plain paper first. And you'll still waste some label sheets, guaranteed.

I've used the labels in a HP4050 laserprinter, a BJC-600 bubblejet and a Epson Stylus 1280 without any problems whatsoever. The 1280 works *very* well, and the quality of the output is impressive even at a low 360DPI setting (although a higher DPI is suggested). I haven't tried the "photo paper" labels, but except in really exceptional cases they wouldn't be worth the extra cost. Laser printers are OK but the labels don't really last that long if the CDs get any sort of wear.

Despite the issues with the labels moving around between pages I'm sticking with the same brand, as all my templates are already set up for them, and they also have had good longevity for me. CD-RWs I labeled in 1999 still have their original labels with no peeling or bubbling issues, always a good thing.

I've never used the enclosed software; I use either GIMP or my own custom label generator program under Linux. There are inexpensive labeling programs for Windows/Mac that are probably better in any case.

Finally: you really need the label applicator to use these. It was worth it, as I've never had any problems with either off-center or misapplied labels. It helps to not curl the label as you remove it from the sheet (keep the label straight as you peel the paper away from it), but it'll work OK even if the label is curled a bit. Don't forget to burnish the label down a bit after it's been applied.

3.0 out of 5 stars Worse than Avery, No longer folded, September 19, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Memorex CD/DVD White Labels (100-Pack) (Electronics)

They have since packaged these differently and they now come in a big flat envelope the way Avery labels do. I thought the folding was a little crazy myself. These labels are fine, but they are a bit thin, so if you are really really picky and don't want to see the imprint already printed on the CD, you may want to buy Avery. They are twice as good, but twice the price. But if you're using a ton of them, these are fine and will save you lots o' moola. Be sure and get an applicator. These are essential.
