When using stick on labels, which many of us who produce our own CD's do, a few things need to be taken into consideration. First off, how well are the labels sticking on the CD's. I noticed that on a few of the CD's I had made and put the stick-on labels on, were actually getting stuck in the CD player. The CD's were easy enough to get out with a little effert and a thin tool, but it concened me as to the effect it was having on the CD player itsself. Not to mention I didn't want people who had purchased my CD to have the problem and not wanting to go through the hassle of removing the CD and there for make the decision not to play it.

I have been looking into the possibility of purchasing a Digital Engraver for my music CD's. I have found several that I think may be suitable, but as yet have not made a decision. There are some where you type in the words to appear on the CD and that is it. There are others that actually require ink and will color the CD and make designs and logo's as well.  Of course the latter is more expensive. Then of course to help on the cost, you could purchase a colored CD and then just print the information on the CD. The problem with this is that I believe there is a maximum of information (characters) that can be put on the CD which may limit the ideas you have.

I have looked on ebay and did find both sorts of laser and ink engravers available but with such a purchase would want some sort of guarantee and for the product to be in an unopened box. Then again, purchasing from a store would ensure hassle free return should the product not work as I think it should. I am still looking into the possibility of purchasing either a laser or ink engraver and will let you know what I decide. If anyone has either one of these products I would appreciate a review on it.
