Summary: Labelez votre CDs!
Review: "labelez"? I kinda doubt that's correct...I've used these for a few years now. They work. There are some definite consistency issues between pages as the labels aren't always cut in the same place, but the other brands I've tried (Avery in particular) had similar problems. The secrets to doing consistently successful CD labels on any brand of label paper? Background images should be signficantly larger than the label and also cover the hub completely, keep lettering well within the label (1/8" minimum clearance from the edges recommended), and do test prints on plain paper first. And you'll still waste some label sheets, guaranteed. I've used the labels in a HP4050 laserprinter, a BJC-600 bubblejet and a Epson Stylus 1280 without any problems whatsoever. The 1280 works *very* well, and the quality of the output is impressive even at a low 360DPI setting (although a higher DPI is suggested). I haven't tried the "photo paper" labels, but except in really exceptional cases they wouldn't be worth the extra cost. Laser printers are OK but the labels don't really last that long if the CDs get any sort of wear. Despite the issues with the labels moving around between pages I'm sticking with the same brand, as all my templates are already set up for them, and they also have had good longevity for me. CD-RWs I labeled in 1999 still have their original labels with no peeling or bubbling issues, always a good thing. I've never used the enclosed software; I use either GIMP or my own custom label generator program under Linux. There are inexpensive labeling programs for Windows/Mac that are probably better in any case. Finally: you really need the label applicator to use these. It was worth it, as I've never had any problems with either off-center or misapplied labels. It helps to not curl the label as you remove it from the sheet (keep the label straight as you peel the paper away from it), but it'll work OK even if the label is curled a bit. Don't forget to burnish the label down a bit after it's been applied.

Summary: Disapointing Software
Review: First of all, I would like to say that I am VERY disapointed in the software given in this package. When you create a label and print it, it is off center, and you are left with a bunch of white space on your label. The adheisive is fine, so is the cheap plastic device usually included with any label maker in this price range. But the software is what really defeats the purpose. I used up all of the included cd labels (10) just trying to make 2 different labels centered properly. VERY DISAPOINTED

Summary: Looking For A Good Deal?
Review: For the price, these labels are a GREAT deal! I have used up the 100 I have perchased and I'm about to order more. The only problem that you may have with these labels is that the paper is very thin and that anything dark which is on the CD face will show through. If you have written on the CD face with a permanent ink marker, remove it with a Q-tip dipped in alcohol. This will remove all or most of ink so that it will not show through. If the CD face has dark printing on it from the manufacturer, then you're up the creek or you'll have to print a dark colored label to try and cover it. --- All things considered, these labels are good and cheep. If you screwup on printing a label you won't feel too bad throwing it away.

Summary: Poor Luck with Sofware
Review: I also had problems with the program freezing up my computer. After a few times using it, it just stopped letting me open the program up. I never did figure out how to get back into the program, and I had to purchase another brand.

Summary: Poor Paper Quality ( Need Photo Quality Paper)
Review: I bought the memorex CD LabelMaker Deluxe Kit, CD labels included, and after experimenting with the program for awhile I was able to print labels. You are pretty much on your own when it comes to figuring it out but if you aren't a newbie you will be able to.One problem with the program is that once I had selected my photo and text to put on the label, it freezes and I had to shut down the computer and restart. It happened twice while I was figuring out how to use it. Another problem is that I use pictures to put on my CD labels and the paper quality for the CD labels is very poor. You have to use a blank label first to keep the text that is already written on the CD from bleeding through and then put your label with your photo or what information you have on it on top of the blank label. So if you order 100 labels 50 is going to be wasted to stop the text on the CD from bleeding through so you actually get to use only 50 of the 100 labels. They should use photo quality paper for the labels and they don't so if you put pictures on the labels they are not going to be as good as they could be. (Memorex give us photo quality paper for the CD labels please !!!!) I'm willing to pay extra for it to get a better picture. After you get pass all of this you are ok. The LabelMaker gadget works just fine and puts the CD labels on so that it looks professional.

Summary: Easy
Review: I didn't use the included software, but created a database with templates for printing on the 8.5" x 11" sheets. Is easy to get artist, title, 30 song titles, release year, and a 1" square cover art rendition printed on the labels. You'll need a device to apply the labels correctly. The labels look best on silver or pure white topped CDr blanks. Silver with silver printing is acceptable, but the lettering will still be visible through the labels in good light. In addition to the two circular labels there are four other labels per sheet. Skinny ones for the edge of jewel cases, and larger rectangular ones. Had to edit my review and remove stars. Some labels are cut differently. The difference (~1/8") caused my carefully aligned graphics to print off center and run off label edges. This is a quality control issue.
