Subject:   Labels

Hi,

Has anyone used an eCS compatible program to create CD labels?
If so, which one and how good is it?
Probably Maul publisher would do the job but it's a bit expensive.
I've played around with Open Office but it's too involved if one wants 
graphics, text and logos added.

Regards,

Alan Duval

Hi Alan,

Not having a printer that can print CD-labels, i don't have any 
experience with it -- but there is a functional CD-label maker included 
with RSJ CDWriter, at least as far back as version 5.53, RSJ is 
currently at Version 6.xx.

 From the Help for RSJ CD-cover editor;

    RSJ CD Cover Print

    RSJ CD Cover Print is an application that allows you to quickly
    create and print cover sheets for CD jewel cases and CD labels.

    The main window consists of four tabs:

    Titles is used to edit the CD's title, artist and track titles

    Front provides a print preview for the front cover of the jewel case

    Back provides a print preview for the back cover of the jewel case

    CD Label provides a print preview for the CD label

    (Quick Reference - hyperlink)

    Note:
    Pinting CD labels only makes sense if you have special CD label
    sheets; those sheets usually come with a tool that helps centering
    the label on the CD. RSJ CD Cover Print provides a  label
    positioning aid that helps you to determine the exact position of
    the CD label on the sheet. 

Ed Durrant may be able to suggest alternatives.

HTH

Regards,
Mike

 Hi Mike,

I have RSJ and didn't know there was a CD label printing program in it. 
Checked it out but it doesn't have enough features to make classy 
labels. It's OK for simple labels but I want to be able to use layers to 
achieve the effects I want.
Thanks for the info. I think that I'll buy the Smack software that 
Voytek mentioned as that seems to have more features.

Regards,

Alan
