Have you got a lightscribe drive? Do it yourself and save the money dude, looks more professional on the disc too.

Would that do the job? Are there different kind of light scribe types, colour, black and white etc, all do they al pritty much do the same thing?

Basically do your design, put a disc in the wrong way and it'll etch the pattern on for you. They can look awesome.

Yeah buddy. Get some plain discs in the colour you want whilst you're ordering.

Best thing to do is, do your design in photoshop as you're used to it, and import it into the label software.

depending on what exactly you're after, i could print some for you.
its not a sticky label, its just a printable surface on the disk.
(the inner and outer lip (in white) cant be printed on....
can be text or image or both...
