donut maker
A small plastic device for applying circular labels to CD-ROM disks. It centers the label perfectly, and makes sure the center of the label comes in contact before the edges to help prevent bubbles. Circular labels usually come two to a sheet. Print the bottom one first so you can then come back later and print the top one without the missing label interfering with print. CD labels are quite expensive, $0.40 to $2.00 CDN each. Ink-jet labels allow rich colour on high gloss paper. Laser labels use a more porous paper. Make sure you get the right kind. Some ink-jets let you print directly onto the CD, saving a fortune in labels. The sticky label completely covers any advertising the CD maker has put there. When you print directly, you must arrange your printing to dodge the advertising. The circular CD labels are called "donuts". The rectangular labels for the plastic case are called "jewel case labels".
