Lord Reith and many others in this community provide excellent quality artwork to adorn our CDRs and to line the jewel cases.
My trusty (at least in Windows 7) MediaFace 5 software does not work in Windows 10 and the associated Fellowes stationery has been hard to track down. I have resorted to the use of exPressit labelling software and offset fullface CD labels. This software is quite poor and inflexible and the labels are thin and difficult to centre.
Can anyone recommend some reliable labelling and jewel case inlay software and appropriately good quality stationery to compliment the wonderful artwork that so many of you provide.
Thank you in advance.

Re: Labelling Software and Stationery
I don't want to rain on anyone's parade but isn't putting labels on cds supposed to damage them?
It's okay if you keep a backup though so you can make another if it goes bad.

Yes, labels destroyed my first 200 cd-r’s in the early 2,000’s. I would highly recommend not putting labels on discs.

Re: Labelling Software and Stationery
Thank you all. Some great responses here. Ted's pragmatic, no nonsense suggestion is the logical solution. i have been very fortunate though in not experiencing any adverse effects from the use of CD labels, at least so far. i would be grateful if someone could kindly recommend appropriate software for use with printable CDRs and also for use on the other associated jewel case artwork. And please recommend which stationery works best for you.
Thanks in advance.

You could also try Lightscribe discs. They can have a label etched on them by the laser (not in colour) in your burner. You need special lightscribe discs and a compatible burner though.

Thank you LR for your suggestions - I will consider my options when I weigh my piggy bank ...
What software would you recommend to print the inlays for the cd jewel cases?
