How to Produce Print CD Labels Using a Laser Printer

Individuals and corporate entities have turned to digital media as a storage option due to the convenience it brings in retrieving files. However, when files are voluminous, several CDs and DVDs might be necessary and each needs to be marked for easy identification. Print CD labels are often preferred and usually sourced from the home office laser printer rather than directly writing or putting marks on the disks' surface.

To print CD labels is easy because there are free templates from the Internet. But if a customized CD label is preferred, the process is be a bit more tricky. Typically, blank CD paper is used; particularly the type compatible with the home office laser printer because heat is generated during printing and could cause the printer to jam or mar the printouts if the CD paper adhesive is not resistant to heat. Steps in the printing process are detailed below.

First in line is to evaluate what you need. CD labels for personal collection will be enTirely different from the one intended for business transactions.
Make the CD label design. As Mentioned earlier, inspiration may come from different templates available on the Internet. Otherwise, if a custom design could satisfy the need, a more demanding and lengthy process is necessary.
Once the design has been decided, print it on ordinary paper and make a few adjustMents if necessary to come up with the final design.
Before loading the blank CD paper for printing, configure the Computer software to define label borders or determine the number of labels that a whole page can accommodate.
Once the setting has been organized, push the home office laser printer print button.

Remember that blank CD paper for inkjet printers cannot be used on laser printers. Heat from a laser printer is an important factor to be considered in choosing the type of paper required. It is important to use only paper designed exclusively to print CD labels because the type of adhesive used might affect the integrity of the disc. Corrosive adhesive can eventually damage the sensitive protective coating of the disc, affecting archival quality and storage longevity. Moreover, never use odd shaped CD labels because it will affect the stability of the disc when it turns in the disc drive.

Finally, to print CD labels, the quality of paper is of utmost importance since any home office laser printer is capable of delivering satisfactory printouts conveniently.
