Although there are many other CD label programs around, not one of them could do what it should to do. Many people I know use prefabricated cover sheets and are always having trouble positioning the images exactly where they wanted them.

Or if you use blank sheets of paper the front covers are always sliding out of the jewel case when you’re opening it, because there is no way of changing the size of the covers.

For this reason CD Labeler Gold is capable not only of changing the size of the labels and covers with one tenth of a millimeter, but you can with the same accuracy move the labels and covers independently across the sheet.

Because of this you can use any kind of brand label you want.

The covers on prefabricated sheets are usually  not centered, so you can’t slide them upside down in your printer to print just the bottom one. CD Labeler Gold however gives you the possibility  to choose witch label you want to print, the top one, the bottom one, or both of them.

What’s new in version 2.0.3.

•	Improved printing quality mainly, you should be able to see the difference clearly.

Further I must confess that because of this the program is a  bid slower than it was, but I think the overall quality will make it

you’ll take it for granted.

The toolbar provides access to al the functions

of CD Labeler Gold. Tool tips explain the buttons.


When checked two identical labels are printed on

one sheet.


When checked a front and back cover are printed

on one sheet. This option is for prefabricated sheets

that are designed that way. But you can also use

this option to print the front and back at once on a

blank sheet of paper.


The label you where editing is selected automatically but

you can change it if you want to.


Before printing the selected object you can change your

printer settings.


With these up down controls you can adjust the size and

position of the labels.


The values shown here are in micrometers or one tenth

of a millimeter. You should be able to position any kind of

label on any kind of sheet.


Check the label you would like to print.

If you have label sheets that can’t be mirrored make

sure that you have calibrated both upper and lower

label


When you change the values, the example labels will

move across the sheet so you can determine the

direction you’re moving them. The position of the

example labels is rough representation of the actual

position on the original sheet.


Prints a test page with the to labels currently visible.

Use it to see if it fits your label sheet.


Use this button to load previously saved values or to

set values to the program default.


Save the current calibration settings to the system registry.


This folder will be opened when you press the open file

button on the main window toolbar.

You can type a folder yourself or press the button to

the right to browse for one.


This option will draw a black line around a cover. This can

be useful incase the label contains a lot of white. When you

have to reload them to take effect.


If checked window state, size and position are saved

and restored at startup.


Click one of the buttons to view the desired label.


Double click to edit the spine text. With the default font size

you can use approximately 40 characters.

You can only use TrueType fonts.


The CD title font size can be changed separately, and  can

Calibrating is a time consuming job and can cost a lot of

ink and paper. Because of this you can not only print your

calibration values, but safe them to a file to. An other

advantage of this is that you can use different kinds of

labels without recalibrating all the time. The currently

loaded values are saved to the registry.
