 |
|
Can you tell I'm starting to re-examine everything I'm using? I currently use exPressit S.E. (bundled with Memorex labels) for my printing of labels - I was wondering if you could tell me what is working best for you folks?

I've got an Epson r220 printer and have been using the software that comes with it. It is very simple to use and works great for printing down to the hub.

| For printable discs, I use the epson printcd software that came with my Epson R320. For sticky labels I used to use Acoustica CD Label Maker. It was the best out of all the ones I tried. |

I was using this software when I was printing on labels and I liked it alot. Did the job well and easy to use.

Like many other folks here, I now print directly to inkjet printable disc using a Epson R220.

I use both printable tops and sticky doughnut labels. I use to use the above program, Surething, but realized it was unnecessary. Just stick the label on the disc and run it through the printer.
(Instert here someone saying labels messing up discs and players (it always does happen!))
Labels have never given me a prob, 2 yr old discs works as if they were 1 day old FOR ME. If you are the few that don't have probs with labels, then yay.

Printing with Canon Pixma iP5000 and Canon MP780 using the software what bundled with these printers
Printing on Ritek Silvertop Printables gives excellent results! |

| Im printing with my first epsom r200. Its the only way to do labels. It works out cheaper in the long run than sticky labels and the quality is excellent. You'll never use sticky's once you've had one. |

The Canon Printer bundled CD Software is good.....I think you can download off the Canon Site........another good independent one is Acoustica........it recognises both Epsom and Canon CD printers by model number ...really very good

ain't that the truth! i'm quite surprised it hasn't happened yet! 
anyways, i too used to use Surething. i've had my r220 for about a year now and haven't looked back! if you look around, you can easily find an Rxxx (200-340) for around $100 after rebates/coupons/sales. well worth it. after my trip in sept, i'm getting an r340 and giving this r200 to my son. until then...all my money goes towards the trip! plan on drinking a few beers!
btw, check out www.dealmac.com. it's a great place to do a search for items and they'll tell you who has the best deals. be sure to click the DO NOT SHOW EXPIRED ITEMS...or you might get a false sense of happiness! |

| I use inkjet printable disc using a Epson R320 its by far the easiest way to label your disc it looks great and I believe you use less ink. The software that comes with it is a no brainer I set the settings to 20mm and 120mm drop the image in and click print. |
