Evening all,

I did a shoot recently and I am wanting to put the photos onto a disc. I have just been copying them to a tesco cd-r disc. Firstly do you think this will suffice? Secondly, can anyone recommend any good cd labelling kits for MacBook? I bought tesco cd labels but there is no software or template with them !

Thanks,

Jan
 
What kind of shoot was it?

For my event/press stuff I just use the tesco CD-R discs and include a business card in the CD sleeve. But labelling sounds like a good idea.
 
Get inkjet printable discs and print direct on them. Avoids the age old problem of sticky labels curling up and damaging drives. Lots of low cost printers capable of doing this now.

Darn good advice. I found a supply of sticky labels and the program to print them and they seemed great.
However two years down the line and many of these CD's and DVD's will not play. The label has dried and pulled the disc into a slight dish shape. Lucky most stuff also on my hard drive.
So today I just use a permanent marker no fancy stuff.
 
I've kept my old Epson R800 just for its ability to print directly to CD/DVD. The epson software that comes with the printer makes the designing of a label a very simple process - must be if I can do it. Certainly better than the old stick-on labels.
Some of the All-in One type printers now have direct printing capability. You must use CD/DVDs that are "printable" - they normally have a white or silver face for printing on. You can even use one of your own photos as a background for the label.
 
We use inkjet printable discs for weddings and use one of the photos from the day as the disc image.
