How do you print stuff on CD
TheValeman:
In regard to disc labels being made available here I was of the opinion Snowcone wanted this site to be a repository of all the original artwork associated with a game. In my opinion that includes the disc label if we want completeness. ... and some labels are works of art in themselves :D
As far as labels for cartridges go that's a whle different ball-game. The amount of carts picked up at video shop sales etc where the label is "stuffed" is probably in excess of 60% and I see absolutely no legal problems printing out a replacement label for an original cart in this specific situation.

I agree with the cartridge labels. Most carts have a glued on label that will get damaged over time and it is so expensive to bootleg a game cartridge it's just not worth the effort (in mass I mean)
I really dislike the idea of CD/DVD labels being available, being that making a bootleg cd/dvd can be done by any Joe, Dick and Harry with a computer.
But then again. It's me personal opinion and I do respect the decisions of other members (specially the site admin). LOL

On the subject of CD labels themselves, you have to consider the whole community of CD-burners. Pirates aren't the only people who use labels for their CDs. I, and countless others, use them to make important CDs a bit more... special. If you happen to like one CD a whole lot more than the others, you may want to give it something better than some simple Sharpie, you know?

Totally agree with that. I myself own an epson that is CD printing capable (and use it a lot when I go around leaving Demos at TV stations and production houses)..
But we are talking about games here.. not a personal Demo CD.

Right, and the only reason I typed that response up was because of you disliking CD/DVD labels even being available.
(Extremely off-topic, but would someone mind giving some input on my post in the feedback forum?)
