Any of you label your DVDs? Have any problems?

I'm just wondering if you guys have bought the labeling paper's. Have any problems with it? If so, why do you think that is?

I use Neato software 4.0 with no problems at all!! As for papper I just buy stock and trim as neccessary!!

Sometimes the label can cause the disc to spin in an unbalenced way. Just use a felt-tip pen like a Sharpie.

Well I just bought the neato package from officemax for $10. Used my hp photoprinter and labeled all the games. They look almost perfect, although you can tell there's paper on them, it looks so much better flipping through 60 games with labels than 60 games with sharpie. So far I tested 7 of the games and they work fine. Bootup was 100%. GTA VC worked great. Etc....

P.S. All on a magic3

Yeah, everybody has to make their own opinion about labeling the games. I personally *hate* seeing sharpie writings on the disks. There's nothing like flipping through pages and pages of nicely printed labels on the disks that gives you such a big satisfaction. I'm on my 3rd 100 pack and I gotta find a cheaper place to find these Neato package. Office Max you say? Do they have it on sale right now?

Go to officemax page and they have weekly specials. Then find your city. I'm pretty sure the specials are for all stores. You can get the 100pack of 2 labels for $10 or you can get the 112labels with labeler/software for $10

Personally i keep a collection, labeled games + color photocopy of the cover on cardstock(at kinkos, cost like a buck, but worth it) So when someone looks at my shelf i have a buncha DVD cases that look like real PS2 games. You open them and theres labels on the DVD-rs make it look even better

I originally thought about doing that but, to me, that's like the whole Y2K situation. At the beginning it's fine, but as the collection increases you run out spaces on the shelves and it'll just pile on here and there making a mess (nice looking mess but mess nonetheless). So thinking of the long run, I personally think it's better to buy some CD binders and put them in there. But like labeling the games, it's all upto personal tastes.
