Anyone have any suggestions on the most useful DVD label maker kit for a Mac?

I want to print full disc labels on my wedding DVD's and am researching some programs/applications that have the best customization and easy user interface design.
Also, is there specific paper you have to buy to place the sticker on the disc? I know some kits come with their own paper to print on, but what about the ones that don't?

Any suggestions welcome.

Thanks!

Don't! Discs spin at massive speed and an offset lable can unbalance then.
It looks cheap, unprofessional and something that was done 20 years ago.
Printers which will also print onto DVDs are "Cheap as Chips" now, as are printable DVDs. Most come with software to layout the disc printing.

I second the printable-DVD idea. I bought a Canon MG5300 for just this purpose; it was cheap (about $100, I think), and the DVDs look fantastic.

Also, you will never ever ever affix a label on a disc without bubbles or creasing.

Thanks for the input!

Does anyone have any experience with the thermal DVD printers? I am assuming they require no label and just print straight to the disk?
Are they worth the money. I'm thinking of investing something more for the long run, as I will be having quite a few DVD's to print in the future.

The Canon MG5300 I have prints directly to inkjet-printable discs such as these:

Pulled the trigger on a Canon MG6320( http://www.amazon.com …ter-Scanner/dp/B00AGV7TOS (external link)) and after taking 30 minutes figuring out how to load the DVD(the slot is attached to the bottom of the paper tray; no instructions), I finally got it to print. Took me six disks to align the print because the default setting was offset and there's not really a way to correct this without trial and error.(Thanks a lot Canon...)

At least it looks clean now and much better than the sticker labels.
