Cd Label Maker
Even if you use other labeling devices - I use Fellowes Neato - these labels are a steal at this price. The best part about these labels vs. the ones I used before is that they can be used for "full" or "partial" coverage. They have two perforated circles in the middle so you can punch out the small hole or the larger "neato sized" hole. This is not available on the more expensive neato labels I traditionally bought. So far I've used about 100 of these labels with no problems at all, I'm very happy with these labels. Memorex White CD Labels, Matte Finish. 300 Count (32020403)
I'm on my 4th package of 300 ct labels. Every label program I've used has a ready made template (Nero, CoverXP, etc.). The labels give the option of standard or full face labels ("big hole" or "little hole"). They have a matte flat finish as opposed to a slick, glossy finish. Consequently, they are better for text-intensive applications. Graphics do print beautifully. Those who intend to print photographic images best choose a glossy product.
These labels print nicely and were exactly what I expected for the price. The software that comes with the package is good enough for printing labels, although they don't print exactly as you see them on the monitor (there will be white space on the label if you don't overlap it in the software. Other than that, this is a decent pack of matte labels and you can't beat the price.
I have found, for the money spent, these are the best value. They have vibrant, full face printing, and I have always had a consistant batch. They peel easily, which is something I have found to be a problem with other brands. I haven't tried them all, but I have tried quite a few, and I always come back to these. I always find the best price thru amazon. I would definitely give them a try.
I've bought hundreds of Memorex labels and recognize the face and backing sheets. These labels have a slick back sheet, while real Memorex labels have a paper back sheet. That alone doesn't bother me, but these labels (which I now believe are cheap knockoffs) constantly jam my HP7500 printer. Most sheets fold over as they round the bend to the print head and stop there. If they make it any further, there is a good chance they won't make it into the hold down guides at the heads, which makes a real mess. About one in eight sheets actually made it through. Those that did, show inaccurate and inconsistent colors - much darker oranges that range from grayish to brown, not close to what consistently prints on real Memorex labels. After a lot of frustration, wasted sheets, and possibly damage to my printer, the very first real Memorex sheet fed through perfectly with accurate colors. All real labels and other paper types feed through just fine. Before ordering, I suggest you try to get a sample to see if these labels work for you. I accept this risk on eBay where sellers usually let you know when products are not genuine. However, Amazon sells these as the real thing. I'm very disappointed with Amazon (again).
These lables work great. I have used several different brands with my CD Stomper Pro program and sometimes certain brands do not stick or the printing looks shoddy. These stick very well to the CD/DVD's and the matte finish is great. I especially like the fact that you can print two different ways either close to the center hole or further away. I haven't used the labeling program very much as I am so used to the one I already have. All in all a great product for a great price with free shipping.
I consistently buy Memorex brand labels and this is the first time Amazon has falsely sent a knock off. The paper backing is not there, it is a thin slick back and the printing is awful. Does not come close to the clear, quality you get when you print on real Memorex labels. Shame on you Amazon! At least on eBay the sellers tell you when it is not the true brand. Instead you wrap these labels and insert them in a 300 plastic box!
I believe I have ordered on Amazon before but never again after these fake labels! You need to wake up!
The labels are a little thin and cannot be used right after printing.
The color fades over time.
But The product reproduces without any adjustment to my printer.
I have not had any that peels over time as many do.
I like the product. Would recommend it for reproducing images on labels.'
