I am not the most crafty do it yourself kind of person but, this product was so easy to use, durable and long lasting. I make the kids in my family music CD's for holidays and special occasions and this is by far the best labels I have used.
This is a great product, and I made some really cute CD covers for my nieces Kindergarten end of the year program DVD I made. The only real problem I faced was making it all line up with the hole, and making sure nothing was going to get cut off when it printed.
While the tabs on these labels facilitate use with the applicator, the labels themselves jam in a printer where the paper follows a curved feed path, i.e.most compact consumer level inkjet printers. Fortunately I have an Epson Stylus Photo which enabled me to get through my first job with the 8960 labels, a product I'll not buy again.
I use Avery 5931 labels to create colorful labels for my DVDs and CDs. They are definitely preferable to writing information on the surface of the media with an indelible marker. Output on my color laser printer is outstanding due to several features of the Avery labels: they are a nice bright white; they have excellent hold out (opacity) so that if you apply them to media with a surface that has color, text, or a design put there by the manufacturer, the Avery label covers it adequately. They don't curl because of the heat from the printer, and they apply easily with no bubbles or creases. I don't mind paying a little extra for the removable labels. I've never had to remove one, but that feature is there if I need it. This may seem a bit trivial, but Avery prints text on the label stock so that it's easy to tell which side goes "up" inside the printer. I have tried samples of some discount labels that have no text on the side of the stock on which you want to print, and I have occasionally faced the labels the wrong way "up" inside the printer. I hate to waste my color toner by accidentally printing on the wrong side of the stock. "Stick" with Avery. You'll never be sorry you bought a quality product.
I've been making music CDs for my daughter's birthday for the past 4 years. Just completed "Volume 4" for the gifts to the party goers. I finally found that Avery had these labels and was very pleased at the ease of using them and very happy at how professional they look. I have struggled in the past using other brands. I use Avery labels for many things and love the improvements made throughout the years. I will continue to use Avery for all of my label needs. Thank You! Carmen
I don't label many CDs, but when I do I count on the quality and consistency of labels like Avery's 8692. 8692 labels are always reliable, like every other product in the Avery line and here that really matters because the last thing you want to apply to a CD is a label that isn't perfectly round. And the spine labels? They're just a bonus.
When I finish with a client's estate planning documents, I scan the signed originals and make a CD-ROM. These labels make the presentation look much more professional than just writing on the disc with a Sharpie. If you make a mistake in the application, the label is removable, which is nice. The 4 stars for "Ease of Use" is because the printing template is a bit opaque in terms of how to get the text you want in a particular place on the label. It took some experimentation, but now I have a template that is easy to adapt and use for whatever purpose I need.
