Post 15 -B- Making CD labels

Throughout this school semester we had some particular assignments that had to be submitted by a CD. Either the files were to big or it contained music or pictures, but we had to turn them in on a CD instead of via Angel website. The tricky aspect about turning them in by CD is that the professor asked for the CD to come with a label and on that label our name, our affiliation, course number, and in the background a picture of some sort. At first i thought of, "oh great i have to buy a CD label maker and paper", but the professor showed us we can use our regular printers, we just have to change the format. He walked us through that process and we were on our way to printing CD labels. The only problem i have seen with printing CD labels is it sometimes hard to remember what side to print on and how much ink the printer is using to put that picture inside of the CD circle. I think after this semester i am going to have to change the color and black ink cartridges for my printer. This has helped my learning experiences, because i now know how to make and use CD labels (and this is a tool i can pass on to my students and this will help organization in my future classes).

I feel the same way, I hated the idea of purchasing everything. Even though I went ahead and purchased a cheap software/paper package, I love that everything looks so organized and professional. Although, I don't know if I'll replace the paper when it runs out. LOL
