I have gone through about 145 of these labels from two different orders I've made on Amazon. I've used them to label DVD-R discs that I've transferred much of my older VHS tapes to.
I did not encounter any problems with printing out labels for my DVD discs, so I'm puzzled by one reviewer's comments. I did notice the majority of the time that when trying to print out Spine labels the text never quite lines up.
But, even when they did print out O.K. I never really found a use for those spine labels considering the type of clear single case that I use. Avery CD Labels for Laser Printers, White, 100 Disc Labels and 200 Spine Labels (5698)
Works great with my Samsung Laser printer. The only possible glitch is that you must print two labels at the same time as there are two labels on each sheet and a warning to not run the sheet through the printer a second time. Also, my printer was not doing a very good job of lining up the labels until I found a free, easy to use, online program. Use [...] for the template to make DVD labels. Use Sure Thing to make DVD liner notes.
I purchased these over the cheaper Ink Jet labels specifically because they were designed for laser printers. The first label I printed was a mess of peeling toner within seconds of being applied to a disc. A day later, the toner still peels off by rubbing a finger gently over anything printed. Maybe its my specific Samsung printer which has the issue, but I've never experienced this issue with standard paper.
I plan on returning these labels and may try the color laser labels.
I added an extra star simply because the label itself is well manufactured, easy to apply (even with just a jewel case).
I ordered Avery 5698 because Amazon's picture and description very clearly show this product is designed for CD -and- DVD. The product I received was indeed 5698, but the package doesn't match the Amazon photo. These (5698) are CD -only- labels. I called Avery and the CSR said that Avery no longer makes a Laser-printer-compatible label for DVDs: it was discontinued years ago, she said, but didn't have the product number in her computer system, hmm! She claimed no knowledge of the Amazon web site but said it must be wrong but she couldn't check. It's hard to believe somebody at Amazon is using Photoshop to alter the product appearances, and is misrepresenting the product description! That doesn't make sense. I think Avery screwed up.
