I dont know why this happened, but I just ordered this and within about 15 minutes a guy called and asked me where I got the PYRO code. He was really nice and they are going to honor it I guess though.

 

[BeerHunter]

Apparently it still works. Just ordered and had no problem. Although I did give the old standard 000-000-0000 phone number. Much appreciated dimwit!

 

[thereds]

got it.
no call yet.
no order e-mail verification though - have an order number...I guess thats enough.

merci beaucoup.

I've never used one of these. Aren't they just a standard blank-CDR spindle? Wouldn't you get the same result by just buying the labels, and doing it yourself if you had a spindle? (I don't need any of the clip are or graphics software.) Anybody used these who would care to comment?

 

[beatinitup]

Gooooooood luck, site is being hammered like when we first found out about those Va dollars.
lol

 

[dimwit]

Moe, you need the special spindle device to put the label on evenly. If you put the label on manually, it will not be perfectly centered or flat and the CDR will then wobble in your CD-ROM.

Neato's software, MediaFace II, is available for free download from their site -- as is a humungous file of 150dpi images. MediaFace II is having serious problems with crashing when images are used but Neato at least says they are working on the problem. You do need an applicator to put labels on the CDs, but the Neato applicator is a pretty flimsy piece of plastic. It works but I gave mine away. As a matter of fact when there was a deal where you could get the Neato/Fellowes pack for free from OfficeMax, I bought several and gave them all to people who didn't have an applicator. The CD Stomper applicator is substantial (that is to say solid) and is the one I use. The Memorex applicator is sort of Cracker Jack prize quality and the Neato is a little better, but the CD Stomper is the best. You should keep in mind that each company's software commits you to using that company's label stock -- everyone has a proprietary label layout to force you to buy their stock if you use their software.

I found the bundled softwae to be worthless. You can download templates that work with many sofware applications. I use the Photoshop template and it's a breeze. Tha labels have change since Neato was bought by Fellowes. The old labels were opaque - the new ones will allow the CD brand to show though if it's dark (like a CompUSA red or black)

Yeah, I got the Neato CD Labeler when I purchased my HP 9100i. I gave mine away also. It works great if you burn a few CDs at a time. When you do hundreds like me, the CD Stomper is the way to go. Unlike the Neato Labeler, the CD Stomper will not curl up your labels.

Also, if check SureThing web-site as they provide a software that is compatible with all label sheets on the market.

Thanks,
Sun

I got the whole Neato kit about 6 months ago. The little plastic thing is pretty cheap, but it does the job well enough (all it really does is center the label for you, I'm not really sure why you would need a "heavy-duty" thing for that).

The software MediaFaceII is pretty good also. I really haven't tried any of the other software, but you can make a pretty good looking label and jewel case insert with it. Plus it also has quite a few "sample" backgrounds to check out.

The best part of the kit is the variety of labels and jewel case inserts you get with it. Basically, I'm getting in on this deal just for those. You get a bunch of each in regular and high gloss. I'll probaby just give everything else away.

Thanks for the deal. Didn't have any problem with the site.

cool, now i get to label cd's instead of writting on them with my unreadible writing. hehe

 

[cmv]

SureThing CD Labeler is damn good and works with all the different formats. I use this and a CD Stomper to print out my labels.

The download is a time limited 30 day trial. Check it out.
