Thanks for all of the responses.

From what I get from all of the post, all methods for Identifying disk
are either something you would not present to a customer with examples
of your work, or either dead or dying.

I can not believe that my wife is the only one in this world who send
out disk with examples of there work, that require a professional
looking disk, BUT I find out she is.

From my perspective, the ability to print onto optical discs is far from
dead or dying. I personally don't do it anymore, simply because I've moved
past optical media for the things I do, but the capability is still there,
not just in older printers but also in some newer models.

I've encountered discs where I didn't realise it _had_ a label until I
happened to notice that the data side of the disc was a different colour
(the slight purplish of a CD-R rather than the silver of a pressed CD).
A well-cut, and very carefully-applied, label can look very
professional. (Printing directly onto the disc is probably better,
though.)

I'm not keen on the printed label idea at all. Too much effort to insure
label is centered so disk stays balanced I'm sure.

I'd have to see a disk being printed in a printer before I can state any
opinion on that technology.

What I can say is that other than being solely monochrome (limited by
color of disk which can vary), Lightscribe is very nice and does produce
a very polished looking disk. I use SureThing Disk Labeler for most
lightscribe disks I burn.

Every labeling system I've seen has come with a template that makes it
almost easy to center the label.

I can't speak for the ones I haven't seen, of course.
