I always thought the printable disc idea was cool, anyone try it?

instead of labeling my cd's with words, i draw really intricate designs on them and that way i know what they are. i have a plaid cd, a checkered cd, etc. i know exactly what's on them too.

Yes I have used them but sometimes the labels are to think to play in some cd players.

Sharpie.

Labels are a hassle to put on, and don't always wear well.

I used sticky labels for awhile, but broke down and bought an Epson R200. Its awesome!!!

Printing on the disk to the hub is the way to go. Make custom labels for work projects or for 'backing up' other media is a nice option.

The labels got to be a pain. Didn't always look right. Printing on disk looks as good as an original. Their not that much more money either.

Not the labels, Spammy, but printing directly on the disc itself.

Thanks for the review, I always wondered how good they were.

Actually, I use a "Marks-A-Lot" marker

But voted "sharpie" as it's just the same.

I use a sharpie. Then I spike the cd on the ground, and do a few hundred situps in my front yard.

I had a sticker label come unglued off the rom while it was spinning at incredible speeds...what a mess!!!

Sharpie's or Memorex CD Markers work just fine, and if your into really cool art, use wet paint...
