>>Stick-It Right labelling sw review. I ordered a copy.

Uh, Dave, one of us made a mistake. I recommended the
Stick-it Right labels themselves; they are very high
quality, completely opaque labels. I don't know anything
about their software, though. Sorry if I misled you.

I've used two or three template programs, one of which
is in Easy CD Creator itself. Not too flexible, but
adequate to bang out labels for backups, for instance.

For a fancier label I used a drawing program (WinDraw
from Micrografx, in fact) to make a template with
text wrapped around curves to print around the label,
etc. Very tedious making the template, but the
results look good on the high-quality Stick-it Right
labels. Dunno that it's worth the trouble, though.
Registration of the labels is a bit iffy. You have
to fiddle with each printer, or at least I've not
found a label maker that's smart enough to account
for the non-printing area correctly. I always have to
fudge it.

Thing is, once you've made a few different kinds of
labels, you can use a previous label as a template
and simply edit the text for content retaining the
formatting. That's when it begins to be worth the
trouble.
