CD/DVD Hub Labels

[taboo]

Hello People,

Happy New Year!
I wish you all the Best!

I am pretty sure it was probably discussed here before...

I found these so called "center hole" CD/DVD Hub Labels:

I think its a nice alternative to screwy regular labels (especially for DVDs).

What do you think?
Have you had any experience with this type of labels?
Are they reliable?

I really need your input,

TIA

I use the Neato hub labels all the time. Haven't noticed any problems. Full size labels are another story...

I've been using Neato's hub labels for a while now and have had no problems whatsoever. When I first started burning DVDs, I tried to use full labels, but they made some of my discs unplayable. After I switched to the hub labels, the problem disappeared.

I now own an Epson R200 printer, so I'm currently phasing out the hub labels in favor of printable DVD+Rs, but I would recommend the hub labels as a good alternative.

You can buy them at http://www.neato.com/neato_prodtest_sub.asp?class%5Fid=%5FPHOTOMATTE&cat=%5FCDLABEL&ms...HSKGDSJPPQ3GUC . You'll find them listed as 'Core labels'.

Hello People,

I got my labels today. They are really cute.

I ve been using my own layouts created in Photoshop for both of my NEATO trayliners and CD labels.

What software would you recommend to use for them?
Is there any easier way of doing it?

Also, how you apply those labels to disc?

I usually did it by hands

Are you using so called CD Labeling kit?
Is it any good?

TIA

I use Neato's MediaFACE 4.01. It's got a template for their hub labels (20 labels per page). Only drawback I've found is that you can only design and print 1 label at a time.

let me try it. I will let you know

thanks,

hey wwaag,

You're right about MediaFACE 4.01. Its totally inconvenient to print labels with it.

Instead I use PhotoShop 7. I am already using it to create my trayliners and cd labels and it does amazing work.

What I did is I scanned Neato template, put layer with circles above cut-outs, hide layer with scanned template, aligned circles with cut-outs by test printing.

As for text, you would need type text and then use WARP TEXT feature with ARC style either Horisontal or vertical.

Hope this will help,
taboo

PS. Btw, what information are you displaying on your labels? Anything else besides YEAR and TITLE?

[wwaag]

taboo,

Good idea about scanning the template into photoshop. Will probably stick with MediaFace since, at this point, since I only do a label or 2 at a time.

For movies, I only print title and year.

All in all, I like these little hub labels. Maybe not as "pretty" as a printed DVD, but certainly a lot more convenient and cheaper.
