I was using labels.. Really a pain but better than just scribbling on the CD. I got the Artisian 50 on Craigslist BRAND new for $50. Great little machine and delivers a great looking CD or DVD without the pain of labels.

Let me just say, do not, do not, do not put labels on a CD/DVD. I did that once and one of the labels came off in the "clients" CD drive. I had to take the drive out of the place it was mounted and pry the CD out, then get the part of the label out of the drive.

Luckily the "client" was my brother, so no harm done; I can't imagine if it would have been a paying customer.

Buy the CD/DVD's you can print on directly and a printer that will print to them.

Just do it for $60.00.You will not regret it. SOooooo much easier than labels and much more professional.

The other way to go would be to order printed blank disks from someone like millers.

the school gave me a disk with a label on it of my son's video journalism class.....the darn thing got stuck in my macbook...didn't think it would EVER come out!!

That is a great idea about blank ones from millers!

Until I looked at the price. About $XX (decided to hide the price since millers doesn't publish pricing), which includes professional printing and a nice printed case. I could maybe see it for a high end order, but otherwise a cheap inkjet seems to be a much better choice.
