i want to make/put together a cd of downloaded songs for my mum, but the cds i have at the momment have the makers name stamped across them, is it possible to purchase plain ones? if not how can i get things printed on a cd if they were plain i could decorate them but how can you do it otherwise thanks

Yup, it's perfectly possible to pick up white faced, printable CDR's (and DVDR's too, for that matter).

Yer local PC World/Maplin should do them, or if you've a local independent PC shop, they're probably worth a look, too. Alternatively there are cheap places online; try ebay, or various other online sites, SVP for example. (They do a "sample" pack if you just want to buy one ot two).

Some of Epson's photo printers have a CD printing facility. I have the R300 (now superseded by the R340) and get great results.

If you're just looking to do one, I'd be happy to do it for you.

Yes indeed.

is there software that you can make cd covers?

I use Microsoft Publisher myself. You can probably do it in Word, too - there must be a CD Cover template floating around somewhere for that. Alternatively, there are probably some downloadable freebie programs that other people know about better than I do!

Yes I get blank full face dvds from svp. I use Epsons own cd printing software that came with epson R300. You can use cd/dvd marker pens too for a couple of quid you can ones that have a several colours, red, blue, black, green etc

I use MS publisher for covers

This is a company I use for blank media as they offer good prices and a good returns policy for any unused media they will refund you and as I live near them it is handy

Look down the left hand site of the page for "CD-R Printable media"

Think prices start off at £5.75 for 50
