CD label recommendations for thickness / opacity

[ojopaj]

Hi folks,

Just wondering if anybody had any suggestions for a good brand of inkjet printable cd labels. I had always been particularly fond of a brand called "Stick it Right" by "Great Gizmos" but those don't seem to be available anymore. What I liked about them is that they had a gold metallic backing (i.e. the sticky part) which ensured that nothing already on the cd could show through the label.

I've tried a few other brands (such as memorex and neato) and have been very disappointed by how thin and transparent their labels are, even the glossy variety.

If I hadn't inherited a box of 2000+ branded cdrs, I'd just go buy some non-branded ones, in which case the thinness of the label probably wouldn't make much difference.

But in any case, does anybody have any suggestions on a brand of printable cd labels that are actually thick or opaque, so that the cd branding doesn't show through?

Thanks,
ojo

Have you tried silvered lables - sure they are thin but text will
not show through. Thick labels have been reported to have caused
more problems than thin.

that sounds like exactly what I'm looking for, but can't find. what brand are you talking about?

hrm, i was pretty sure i'd already tried neato glossies ... i know i've tried some other neato labels and you could still see branding through the label. are you saying the neato glossies have an opaque backing of some sort?
