No good. Once a scratch forms on the label, it can peel off from > there. Try putting a sticker label on them. Cheap CD's fail alot because of the lack of solid backing. Kinda like looking into a mirror without the reflective backing. > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Miller, John" <JMiller2 at dainrauscher.com> > To: <tclug-list at mn-linux.org> > Sent: Monday, June 04, 2001 6:51 AM > Subject: RE: [TCLUG] PNY CD-Rs? > > > I bought a spindle and had about a 50% success rate with them. You can get a CD labeler i.e. a bunch of stickers that you can print on, and they might not be a complete waiste. You should label them befor burning though. That might help. Or just stick some tape on the damn thing and see how it works. :-) Since there so cheap I would just chuck them or use them for something that isn't important. Tip - If you can see light through the CD it's not worth buying and will cause you trouble. If the backing flakes off it will definetely cause you trouble. sim
