[Slowhand] Re: Labels on Discs - Bad

[Gary Girolimon]

It is not recommended that stick on labels be used on DVDs. They spin  
very fast and can become unbalanced. Get white ink jet printable DVDs  
instead and print right on their surface. Printers that support this  
feature have a special tray that is used for DVDs and CDs.
