Labels
for CDs can be called different ways such as CD labels, CDR labels, CD R
labels, CD ROM Labels, compact disc labels. Do
you burn CDs or DVDs and put them aside for later labeling? I'm sure we can all
answer this question with a clear Yes. The usual reason for not printing a label right
away is because we think it is a time-consuming, expensive task. That is not
necessarily true.
