Can I print a label directly onto a CD? Where can I get label paper?
There are a variety of printers available that can print directly onto a CD. Acoustica CD/DVD
Label Maker currently supports several models from Epson, Canon, and Primera, among
others. For direct-to-CD printing, you can't use regular CDs; you need to buy printable CDs
instead. These are usually labeled as printable CDs and have a white surface.
Several companies make CD label paper; you can find it at most large electronics stores and
some large discount stores. If you're just starting out printing CD labels, we also recommend
you buy a CD label applicator. It's a little plastic device, usually selling for a few dollars, that
makes it much easier for you to get your labels aligned correctly on your CD.
If you don't want to print jewel case labels on plain paper, you can buy premade jewel case
label stock at the same places you find CD label paper. It's usually perforated and is thicker
than typical printer paper.
How can I import my own graphics and put them on labels?
Acoustica CD/DVD Label Maker provides two ways to find images on your computer that you
can add to your labels:
1) Click on the "Art Search" tab, enter some text that's in the file or folder names of the art
you're looking for, and click the "Search" button. Thumbnails of all supported image files
matching your search terms will appear in the window underneath the search button. We
support jpg, bmp, png, and pcx graphics types.
2) Click on the "Art Browse" tab, and parse through the explorer tree to see thumbnails of all
the supported image files in a particular folder.
If you've found an image you want to make your background, you can do it one of these ways:
1) Double-left-click on the image's thumbnail to make it the background
