CD Printing

Hey everybody.

Is there a way I can get my graphics on a CD without paying gazillions of $$$ to some screen-printing company?
I distribute my apps to my friends using CD-R/CR-RWs and I hate to write with a pen on the CD.

You can get CD labelling kits quite cheaply. Basically you get some sheets of round (CD-shaped) stickers and probably some sticker-printing software, and you just run the stickers through your printer. You can get a tool for making sure the stickers go on your CDs centrally.

I've got something that does that.

It cost £25 (GBP) and included a little pressy thing that puts the label on the CD nice and straight.

Cool as!

Labels are pretty cheap as well. You can get some nice coloured ones or you can buy plain white.

It is, unfortunately, pretty clear they are labeled. If you want it written to the CD itself, you may have to do this at the CD manufacture stage. Cheap, if you're doing loads - expensive otherwise.

Where can I get this kind of thing?
I mean, in what type of store? Music, computer?

Computing based stores.

PC World (massive chain) has them, but they cost a little more there (because they're theiving barstards!) Have a hunt roung the computing shops near you...

Or buy mail order, that's what I always do. Actually I do a lot of online ordering nowadays, try http://www.insight.com or http://www.dabs.com or others. Well those are British based actually, I don't know where you are.

Thanks.
