I have a question about printing dvd and cd covers. on Cdcovers.cc you can print out pictures that actually go onto the DVD's and CD's. My question is is there a type of printer paper that you can buy that is like a sticker on one side and is in teh shape of a DVD or CD that will go onto it? I want to put the covers onto the actual DVD-R's so it will look like an actual DVD...Name of the paper and maybe where i can get it? Thanks for the help.
It's a DVD label kit available at any office supply. The labels are a standard letter size sheet for printing. There is a certain knack to positioning the label on the disk and the likes of Staples has a simple kit that makes it much easier. Purists don't care for the labels, insisting that they can cause problems in that the disk is unbalanced and cause reading errors. You can also buy printable disks ( a regular disk surface does not accept water based ink). Some Epson and Canon printers incorporate a disk tray that is used to print on the actual disk.
I can confirm you don't want t use those paper labels on your backed up movies. I learned the hard way. I couldn't figure out why the movie was pixelating terribly, or just wouldn't play at all. A lot of warm water and the removal of the labels fixed the problem immediately. They do work great for music cd's though.
