CD Stomper?

CD Stomper Poll

Do you put labels on your CDR compilations?

Ever had any problems with them jamming in players?

 

I use a sharpie - no labels. If anyone wants a cd stomper. free to a good home for shipping only.

 

Yes, and no.

 

Nope !

 

I have been using Neato labels for seven years now, and have not had any problems with them whatsoever. But, I also live in a dry climate. I'm talking an average of 40% humidity! Now that the sky is clear, and the temparatures are in the 70s, it's going to get worse.

 

I've used Avery and TDK labels on 100 discs with no problems so far...

 

the best labels are made by a company named Great Gizmos Inc. http://www.greatgizmos.com/

The labels are thick with a metallic under layer and the application appliance is the only one that doesn't require you to touch the bottom of the CD. I've used them for 7 years now and never had an incident (labeling over 10,000 CD's!)

 

I used to use sticky CD labels ... Years ago (1997, or thereabouts) I wrote a roundup review for EMedia magazine discussing the Neato and Stomper systems, and one other whose name I can't recall (I don't think it exists anymore).

I liked the Stomper device best for applying the labels, but my preference for the labels themselves was for Neato's. However, at some point I largely abandoned the sticky-label method for Sharpies. Ninety-five percent of my Neato-labelled discs have held up perfectly well and given me no problems, but I did have some discs where there was bubbling, peeling, and other issues that resulted in trouble in car players and the like.

 

In cold weather, the Neato labels will peel away from the CD. I've had the CD jam in my car CD player because of separation of label and disc.

 

Where and when.

 

I have used Stomper for 4 years. Unless you do a good job of pressing (or stomping) on the device, they may start to peel off the CD. Most of my stomps are holding, but I get a few peeling.
If you want something neater than a sharpie, but not a stick on label, I suggest you look into this:

It wil print straight onto a CD. I suggest it be used for putting titles in only, don't try to do graphics with it. It can be expensive refill- wise, but if you want clean neat titles, this is more affordable than inkjet CD printers.

 

So it's true what they say about Arizona: it's a dry heat?

 

I use CD Stomper as well. I find that the labels are very thin compared to say Avery, which I never had an issue with. I switched to CD Stomper because of the price point. Up here IIRC, it's about $20. for 100 sheets. However the thin labels cause buckling when I leave the discs in my Explorer, if it gets cold or damp.

Wonder if the labels that Jamie uses are available up here for a reasonable price.

 

I've used Neato for about five years and never had a problem, but my car player has a multi-disc changer. I could see the single slot players possibly being hard on labels.

 

Thanks for the replys I'll probably start using them again except for CD for car use.

 

I always keep my Cee Dee's nude No labels, no worry...years down the road of glue problems etc...I'm not comfortable with a sharpie either...If anywhere, I mark the "Inner Ring"...

 

I haven't used labels in years. Most of what I use is a sharpie. Hoever- my writing is the absolute- without a doubt- worse than any doctor's I get tired of looking at it.

IT may not be a label- but has anyone checked out the Epson printer that also prints CD's(on cd's that are printable of course)? I can't remember the model #, but price wasn't all that bad. After all- it was a normal ink-jet printer for normal paper printing, it just had another "drawer" that could handle CD's.
