CD labels with curved text
Still, Reed, I have never read on any label box a warning that the label
causes CD disk failure or CD player failure. There are some very good tools on the market that align the labels perfectly. It is up to the folks to decide what is best for them. I agree, but I think the potential for problems merits a fair warning. I don't think you will ever see a warning on the label boxes because they are, after all, trying to sell labels. -Reed Rinn MVP Desktop |

There are printers that print directly on a CD. Perhaps the poster has one of those. How are we to know? And there are CD/DVD burners that also print directly on a disc. google "lightscribe" |

Same here. Tons of CDs with paper labels. None with a problem. It is up to the folks to decide what is best for them. Since CDs are rapidly becoming coasters given all the iPods/mp3 players, etc. it's not likely to be a problem moving forward. |

Flash drives are filling that gap in some areas, though. -- Ed Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher http://ed.mvps.org |

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. ================================ Call it a lecture if you wish but it was good advice. Paper labels on CDs / DVDs is a bad idea. Not only can the glue leech into the surface of the disk but it's not unheard of for a label to come off while in the drive. It's fun to try and fish one out. -- John Inzer Digital Media MVP Notice This is not tech support I am a volunteer Solutions that work for me may not work for you Proceed at your own risk |

Same goes for those using flash drives for the same purpose. Ever hear about the humongous - and CHEAP - external drives that are available? |

I said "some areas", not necessarily as a backup/LTS medium. Of course, glue leaching is less of a problem when you're not looking at LTS, but exploding optical drives can still be a problem. One area that springs to mind where optical discs are still important is for sending large files to others. The internet is still not really reliable enough for this, and flash drives and portable hard drives have a high initial investment. Optical discs you can simply burn onto and send off with minimal investment. Ever hear about the humongous - and CHEAP - external drives that are available? I hear that using sticky labels on the platters of those is also a bad idea. -- Ed Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher http://ed.mvps.org |
