Thanks again Phobiazero, these beauties arrived in the post today and I am very happy :) I love the artwork, did you draw it yourself or is it something specific? Jazembo (one happy xlt member) |

I have always wanted to know how you put an image on a cd, I would guess that you print the image into a sticker rather than put the cd directly into the printer, but I can't see any evidence of a sticker either. Can you let me in on the secret Phobiazero. |
||||||||

|
it's called "stamping" them, and as far as I know you print on sticker paper and use a nifty little tool to press it onto the cd evenly. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
stamping you say? Do you know if this is how it is done commercially? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Phob: Any chance of making those CD labels downloadable please? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nah, they must do it differently for commercial use, because those cd's always have very smooth art that is directly on the cd, like laserjet ink was used or something... The homemade kind have a papery feel to them (go figure) and are a tiny bit (but noticeably) thicker. |
||||||||

|
|
are they wav or mp3s files? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Both cd's are mp3 files but I am planning to transfer the vibes onto audio cd and give each one a cool xltronic 'stamp' |
||||||||

I print the CD's directly in my printer. No stamping or stickers etc... Works like a charm, but a bit expensive in the end. All upcoming CD's distributed by Xltronic will feature printed labels. The final layout is not decided yet, so Jazembos CD's are quite unique :) Nacmat: mp3s Giginger: Not for now... Maybe never... |

What sort of printer do you have Phob? Mine would snap the cd's if I tried it . |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
What cd's do you use, I assume they must be a special type with a printable surface, can you tell me the make please. |

epson stylus photo 950 verbatim datalife plus super azo discs |

that's insane(-ly cool)... your printer has software that knows how to print onto an area like that? how does it feed the disk through so that it isn't broken in the process? |

cool, I've been thinking about acquiring a printer (either one of the epson range or the canon i865) that has the capability to print directly onto CD-r. So it's professional looking? Is it waterproof? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how much? Id love to own some. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
x-tomatic: professional looking? yeah, i like to think so. waterproof? nope, shouldn't be....it's ink. haven't tried it yet tho. :) zephyr twin it comes with a cartridge acting as a placeholder for the CD. then you'll just fire up the included software and create the discs layout. d-steak: what exactly do you want to own? send me a mail. |

lol, why? are you planning on using them in the bath? |
||||||||
|
|

gosh darn, what'll they think up next! |

Phobiazero: Thx 4 the info, now to decide which brand of printer to choose, epson or canon. It's gonna be hard to get either in my neighbourhood as HP seems to have the market completely monopolized on every front atm. It's crazy really. Jazembo: I asked because I was once changing CD's in the trunk of my car and it was raining, a couple of raindrops fell on my stickerprinted CD-r and it immediately screwed up and washed out. And if I'm not mistaking these special printable CD-r's don't have the printable layer stickered, so I wondered wether they would be waterproof. It's just a detail really. |

|
oh right, can you use a normal printer with the stickers or does it have to be 'special' also? |
