[Ham-Computers] Re Printing CD Labels

Fri Feb 24 15:08:24 EST 2006

Phil,

I was aware you had this from our phone discussion some time back, but I 
thought it was just for the round CD labels. Apparently not.

I need to insert the print sheet inside the case Phil, front shows the cover 
and the back is blank for owners to write whatever they want to on. The 
other sheet is actually inserted by removing the hub the CD rests upon, the 
sheet slid in and the snap on plastic piece reattached. i can not stick 
either of these on with self-adhering labels.
