onda2 Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 After reading through the message board I decided to try and tackle the printed minidisc label issue. PowerPoint was the easiest choice. I have attached the template file I used for printing onto the supplied Sony labels and some pictures to shoe the outcome.Method for using the template is easy. 1. Print Slide 2 only on your printer making sure you know which side prints.2. Tape the lable over the outline3. Use Slide 1 to design your art work.4. Reinsert the paper with the label taped (I recommend taping all 4 corners with alittle scotch tape)5. Select Slide 1 only to print.....and Voila!Hope this helps, any feedback would be appreciated. I am not as artistically inclined as some of the other folks but at least the labels are neat.Minidisc.ppt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrazyIvan Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 Okay, I'll give you an "E" for effort. Now I know what to do with all those labels I have laying around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlameGrilled Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 No, i dont print my own labels (for floppy, MD or an.other exchangeable media you might label).No need really, not when (due to the scale of 'printing' i do) i can go out there and have DIY CD inserts/MD Labels etc printed to colour commercially cheaply enough to not make it worth the hassle of home printing The outfit i use (who sell me spare capacity they have, i just don't get the finesses of 'to order, delivery by a chosen date' because of it, and hence get a price break to suit), have been producing commercial grade labelling for a long time and as long as i supply properly prepped (to commericial printing standards) material for them to use to work from, i get the results that add the extra bit of finesse to the end result of recorded MD/CD and a professional looking insert/label to boot I dont take advantage of the extra step, the option to have printed card sleeves (to hold the individual MD cases in), but if demand gets better - i might just pay the extra and start getting those made too from same source Sorry i aint revealing the source - they probably wouldn't appreciate being swamped by low-quantity users requesting what was effectively a 'mates rate' deal (the owner of the company, is a close old friend - someone i know from my full-time days in radio ironically enough).

dyonisus Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 I found this from Neato and it works just fine. Does almost any media. The labels are disco but I'll just cut them out. MediaFace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rayzray Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 i can vouch for it; theblueraja is the King of MD labels; he has inspired me to make my own for my really personal MD's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercury_in_flames Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 I've made the odd few but cant really be bothered with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayzray Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 (edited) i found it was easier to go out and buy those pictured stickers and cut them to size and add some rants in india ink.the "kitty" ones were my favorive but didn't bring out the masculinity in me. bring on the star wars stickers!

Stuge Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 I`m new to this MD stuff but i think it is just a waste of time to make disc labels .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayzray Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 (edited) but; if you saw theblueraja's pics on them; you would be impressed (even though i think he puts them on upsidedown)lol.you probably would want to try one or two; just for fun; and flaunt them in front of i-poders , as i do.anything they hate more is a pretty disc flashed in their face.

theblueraja Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 (edited) First, thanks for all the praise, Ray.Second, I must admit in hindsight that I actually wish I never STARTED labeling. I recall someone saying on the T-board a long time ago (possibly in my thread) that he thinks MD discs look too cool to begin with to cover them up. I love the look of a blank MD before I add a sticker, I must say... I should have made labels for my slip cases, but I don't like that coz I like having the sleeves interchangable.I think I also feel less juiced about the labels due to my DH10P, which has the artwork INSIDE the disc, on the screen At any rate, I'll still admit it's fun designing these, just like when I do CDR covers.
