    I was wondering what software people use. I'm fed up with printing of disc labels only to find that the image isnt perfectly centered even though it looks it on the screen. This results in white borders and an off centre label. Is there an easy way to do this? I've been using Pressit! style labels (i.e one in the top left and the other bottom right) and using the exPressit 5 software.

    I use DISCUS software
    or else NEAT MEDIA FACE

    but I only label CD's because you can't label DVD's with the sticky kind of LABEL

    look at the DVD DEMYSTIFIED WEBSITE:

    Is it ok to put labels or magnetic strips on DVDs?
    Labels and adhesive strips are a bad idea since they can unbalance the disc and cause errors, or even damage a player, especially if they peel off while the disc is spinning. Pressure-sensitive adhesives break down over time, so it's possible for labels to come loose after a few years. Libraries and DVD rental outlets often want to label discs or attach magnetic strips for security, but it's best not to use them at all. If you must, use a ring-shaped "donut" label that goes around the center of the disc. As long as the circular label doesn't interfere with the player clamping onto the hub, it should be ok. If you have to use a non-circular sticker, place it as close to the center as possible to minimize unbalancing. Placing a second sticker straight across from the center will also help. Writing with a marker in the clear (not reflective) area at the hub is better than using a sticker, although there's not much room to write. Write only in the area inside a 44-mm diameter. Writing anywhere else on the disc is risky, since the ink could possibly eat away the protective coating and damage the data layer underneath.

    In most cases a better alternative is a security case that can only be opened with special equipment at the register or checkout counter. Barcodes, stickers, and security strips can be placed on the case without endangering discs (or players). This is especially good for double-sided discs, which have no space for stickers.
