I bought the Memorex CD/DVD Label Maker Starter Kit about one and a half year ago. Since then I have created several hundred beautiful, personal and professional looking DVD''s and CD''s. The kit comes with software, 20 disc labels, and some jewel case labels, and the Memorex''s 3-in-1 label applicator. Since I have been printing hundreds of disc labels I had to buy more of these. However, they are available at any Office Max or Office Depot.

The Memorex exPressit software application is easy to use. It is just a two step wizard style dialog box, and on the last page you design, print and calibrate. Using the self explanatory controls on the last page I easily succeeded in creating some pretty nifty labels using my best photographs. Some people have apparently had problems with the calibration, but I was lucky and I got perfect labels on my first try.

When I print it comes off correctly and the slightly thicker label paper has never jammed my printer (a C6180 all-in-one). You can print one or two labels at a time. The labels come off easily and if you use the label applicator you are almost guaranteed to line up the label correctly on the DVD/CD. However, 90% of the time I do not use the label applicator, I just do it by hand, which is quicker. The label ends up in the middle of DVD/CD anyway. The greatest risk for problems is when you take the label off the paper. The label may curl up and get stuck on your fingers. Since I can only speak for myself, and not for those who had problems calibrating, I highly recommend this product for label printing.

I really don''t understand what''s up with all the negative reviews. This product did exactly what I wanted it to do and for a very cheap price (I paid $5.53 total)

If you plan to make game or movie backups these work just fine.

Here''s the process I would go through

1. install software

2. load software. it brings up a 3 step wizard that guides you through the process where you pick what type of label you''re making (has a preview picture on the side so you know exactly what you''re picking), then you choose a background (I used my own image files for this and they came out great), then click finish

3. the program will now open up with the background youve chosen on top of a template of the type of label youre making. You can easily move it around, enlarge it etc to get it just how you want. I was only making dvd disk labels and with those I recommend making your background a little bigger than the actual dvd disk so that if it doesnt print perfectly on center it wont have any white areas.

4. feed the label paper into printer

5. print

6. peel label

7. put label on disk or case cover or spine or whatever it is you were making a label for

I didnt even need to calibrate my printer and it came out just fine.

If anyone''s wondering I''m using a laser printer and am using windows 7

The software for this product is not user friendly. I spent some time "calibrating" my printer and the result was perfect...on regular printer paper. However, when you printed on their label paper, the result was way off from the template. I, finally, gave up trying to coordinate my printer with their paper and threw the whole thing out.

I purchased this kit because I wanted to put a label on a DVD I made. There was nothing in the accompanying online blurb which indicated that it would work only with Windows. So I, a confirmed Mac man, found that the mounting disk would open, but I could not make it work properly. The stock on which the disc blanks and spines were imprinted seemed very heavy, but the adhesive-backed portion worked OK using the round plastic mounting device in the kit. PhotoShop made me a form that matched the printed position of the labels and I filled it in with my own design. None of the designs provided on the disk of the kit met my needs, and in any event I am not sure that I could have transferred them to PhotoShop.

I have used one of these for years and lost it in a move so I needed a replacement. It is easy to use and the labels work great in my Deskjet. Ease of use makes this system the best of the three labeling systems I have used.
