Homemade CD's? Beware

Hey guys just wanted to give you a heads up...I burn my own CD's(who doesnt? ) anyway---I put a label on one of em and it got caught in the 6 disk changer...I got it out but I would recomment NOT putting labels on your homemade cd's...the opening to eject the CD's on our changers is VERY narrow... just an FYI

Same thing happened to me all the time, so Instead I bought a CD Printer. Puts the INK right on the CD. I love it.

OK :!!!! :(

So how much did you pay for that CD printer?? A couple of grand or so?

I also would recommend against the CD labels (I found out the hard way) because if the thing should ever get stuck in the CD player, and the label should happen to come off then you have all the label gum in the internal workings of the player.

?? Who know what happens to the labels if the CD's are in the internal mechanism and the heat of the interior causes the gum to expand and fall off (talk about some dirt lenses!!)

Do a search for cd labels, I previously had this same problem but when I bought the Avery CD/DVD Laser Labels the problem fixed itself.

I use these...



I have yet to have one come loose. Plus, they are thick and glossy and look awesome. Unless I use a lot of black in the design, they are virtually dry when they come of the printer

I doubt "thick" is what he wants if his labels are getting stuck, but those are nice labels. The Avery labels are thin, perhaps because they are "Laser" and not "Inkjet".

Me too, and I just write the name of the CD on with permanent felt tip marker.
It might not look as good as shiny labels, but I’m not trying to impress anyone.

Well "thick" is what I use. They don't come of, and they don't get stuck. This is in the same Blose system he has as well.

I have used all kinds of labels since my first Pinnacle burner. The thinner paper labels don't stick as well. And tend to come free at the edges from spinning. $.02

That's why I use a Walkman, instead of a $70,000 in Home Audio. I'm not trying to impress anyone.

Well, on my Home Theater System, the goal IS to impress.

I agree Shawn S. The Home Theatre is to Impress. That why you spend the Cash on Good Speakers, Amps, Projector and Screen. Don't Forget about the Pro-Scan DVD Player. But anyways, the CD Printer I bought Cost me around 380 off of E-Bay. It was the same as a name brand, but this one company maked Generic OEM Models. Same Drivers, INK and Everything, just no name printed on the Machine.

I agree and there is NO way you can get the same effect from a walkman as you can from a bad ass HT set up!!

I also am a felt tip user...altho I did encounter a certian brand (cant remember) that would hang up a little bit even with out lables.

Sharpie all the way. Labels have way too much potential for problems.

Labels getting stuck........

Avery Labels are so sticky, I've never had a problem. Once they're really down, they don't come loose or peel. Be careful with "Sharpies". The wrong kind will eat/etch through the CD (label side) and render it non-readable.
