And I'm sending one of those to a friend in the hinterlands who
recently retired to that place and had to pay $150 to get a land line
installed. He has only has dialup for Internet access.

Still, labels are hardly a concern even in those cases.

I don't even bother to label those. I use a fine Sharpie.

My desktop has LightScribe but I haven't used it yet. I have some disks that
I need to burn soon and plan on getting some of the disks and try it.

And there are CD/DVD burners that also print directly on a disc.

google "lightscribe"

Default CD labels with curved text

Gals, Guys,

My wife just got a '07 Toyota Corolla (doggone! that woman has a generous
husband) with a six disk CD Player/Radio. It's the kind with one slot; you
just keep stuffing the CDs in until it won't take anymore. Anyway, because
paper labels do add to the thickness of the CD, I think, why tempt the CD
demons? (Annie is using extra precaution, she inserts a single CD at a
time).

Epilogue: The car is a used car with 7800+/- miles at the time of purchase
(last month) and the CD unit was jammed not allowing either loading nor
unloading any CDs. Toyota replaced the unit at no cost. We don't know the
cause of the CD player malfunction.

Wouldn't it be great if the CD/DVD burner could burn a label on the disk?!

I think labels on CD's is relative to one's experience. I have old CDs that
I have labeled and have never had any problems with them nor my CD-DVD
players. Folks generally don't need a lecture when they come here for help.

I am basing my assumption on the phrase "CD label" in the subject line and
body of the original post.

You really shouldn't use labels on CDs/DVDs. Labels can cause the
CD/DVD to be out of balance, and can damage the drive. If the label
should warp, the disk could get stuck in the device. Air bubbles under
the label could cause an unequal distribution of forces on the disc as
it spins in the drive, which in turn could cause the disc to shatter
while spinning at high speeds such as 52X for CDs and 16X for DVDs.
Other issues have also been attributed to the use of paper labels on
disks.

good information to have on hand.)

How do I insert round or curved text that will follow the curve of the
inside
or outside circumference of the CD label without using Word Art?

Technically that's not printing, that's burning.


Not on my printer it isn't! I have an HP C5280 colour inkjet which is
capable of printing in full colour onto a special white coated CD. It's
called printing, not burning :-) I wish you MVPs would stop arguing :-) I am
of course aware of lightscribe disks, but there are other kinds!

Good fun this innit ! I love reading all of these posts.

Yes, I am aware of on-disc printing (and my Canon MP600 can do it too),
but Lightscribe (to which I was referring) is definitely burning!

Oops. So sorry. I hadn't noticed the reference to lightscribe. I thought you
were referring to writing to disk surfaces in general. Still early morning
here and I hadn't had my cup of tea or my bacon butty ;-)

It's not arguing. MVPs don't argue - we, ummmm, debate (yeah, that's the
word!). We are like everyone else in that we have our own opinions and
different life experiences.

I've heard bad things about using Sharpies and the ink being absorbed into
the layers of the disk. I know they make special markers for disks. Once
again tho, there are going to be people who say "I've used Sharpies for
years and haven't had any problems."

I'm one of them.

Been burnin' since the first burner became available and nary a
problem.

I rarely burn anything other than backup discs of software any more.

I used to use the labels and about the same time I started hearing about
potential problems, I had a disk with a label that just fell off.
Fortunately it was not in a drive when it happened. Now I have a big stack
of those labels collecting dust. The few disks that I do burn these days
have the contents written on a paper sleeve. I do have to make some backup
disks soon and I'm going to try the LightScribe feature.
