How do people label CD/DVD's? I have been using Accoustica CD/DVD Label Maker for many years and it suits my requirements adequately. My printer (a middle aged Canon MP610) serves me well for printing CD labels. Although Canon provides a label printing program, it falls short of what I wanted. For example, in the samples below, I wanted to follow the two colour scheme used by EaseUS in its name. I could not do that in the Canon program. With the Accoustica program, I only needed to type "EaseUS" and then I could high light any of the letters and change their colour. Also, printing curved titles has suited my wish at times. I have posted 3 samples at Tinypic which also show that there are two different hole sizes on a printable CD. The larger hole often describes the CD as "printable" and the smaller hole is sometimes labelled "full printable". http://tinypic.com/r/25tdpvk/8 http://tinypic.com/r/14ca8hz/8 http://tinypic.com/r/2rcbreo/8 My wife requires professionally looking CD/DVD. Those marked with a magic marker do not cut it. Magic Marker or grease pencil or whatever. Can you use reliably use stick-on labels on DVD/CD without damaging the CD/DVD My recommendation would be NO! NO! NO! Many years ago, I did use stick-on labels and within a short number of years I discovered that I could not read some of my CDs. This was attributed by others to be directly caused by the glue on the labels. I also read of cries for help of "I can't get my CD out of the drive because the label seems to be coming off the CD".

In the medical industry in the US, a lot of information has to be faxed, not e-mailed. They have gotten past requiring stuff to be sent on paper via a courier on horseback, but only just. I was not thinking of the things like COA and similar data that has to be transferred, but the archiving on production, testing, and Quality Assurance reports. There is only one Analytical lab that I am aware of that put the client project data on CD for achieving. This is not a problem with the pharmaceutical industry but the government regulation. The Government says if there is a one in a trillion chance of something happening then it must be consider a routing occurrence. I laughed at the new reports of the evil drug company that would not give the experimental drug to the little boy with the disease the drug was being developed to treat. If a company gave an unapproved drug to the boy, the FDA would have destroyed the company, and what was left would have been taken by the lawyers in malpractice law suites. So much for our talking heads who do not spin the news to accomplish their own ends |
