You're very special.

But, for most people, we're not trying to do hologram forgeries for shady
Taiwanese and Chinese warez factories.
All we want t do is label our cds and dvds.

Sometimes I even get covers and make exact duplicates of my cds!

But, most of the time, it's easier to read a quick templated printed label
on my dvd than my chickenscratching.

Well... it's all up to the user. While it's true we are not trying to
meet Taiwanese or Hong Kong standards for DVD labels, it's nice to be
able to print things with minor creative work and have software which
will do that for you. The canon default software doesn't support hub
hugging track lists for example. Having a photoshop template for
example one can for example, automaticly pop on the studio's logos and
slap on the title. The big thing I can't seem to do in photoshop for
example is hub hugging titles, which is handy dandy.

Now the Japanese version of the CD label print does support twain
scanners, which is ultra handy dandy.

Agreed on all points. I enjoy this freedom of DVDs with no paper labels.
I had never put paper labels on DVDs before as I had read that it wasn't
recommended, for various reasons. But with this "magic" tray those days
are gone. It seems to work great on my iP4000. However, there is
staining from somewhere on my iP5000.

"Hub hugging"? .... By that do you mean curved text that follows the
curve of the hub?

Not folowing a curve like circular text, but following a curve as in
the paragraph border so each line is a fixed distance away from the
edge.

Got ya. I believe Serif PagePlus may be able do it with an automatic
feature, though I haven't tried using it. I have followed the curve, but
through manual adjustments and placement. Maybe I should look into it.
It's not often I list the songs on the CD itself, preferring to list
them instead on the CD liners - either on the back of the case, or the
back of the cover liner - or both!

My Acoustica label proggie does that.

It does shading and forefront and background and spiral and whatever.

I through in a nice picture of an ocean, make it the background, throw in
some industry stamps for dvds or cds, spiral the content around so that is
goes about 60% of the way around and walla!

I rate this proggie as the best program ever written for simplicity, logic
and for effectivness.

In Acoustica, if you insert the field box of track labels or songs, and you
expand it to fill the whole cd, it will automatically move the songs so
they will not print over the hole.
If you're careful, you can end up with song titles on one side of the cd
and their length on the other.

Lightscribe is crap. IT's fady, it's faint, it's expensive.

Stick on labels sometimes destroy your cd/dvd, or make them unreadable.

I don't know how I can live without my B tray now!! :)

There is nothing more beautiful than a picture on a silver printable!
