Recommend Product: YES

I do recommend checking out disclabel. It generally makes disc labelling easy and prints nicely at high resolution to inkjets.

I'm looking forward to this app plugging a few annoying holes, though: New text elements start in black, which is useless over a black background image. Same problem with the center ring display. It's very difficult to select a text block without moving it. The app is often sluggish on this 1 GHz PowerBook (1 GB, 10.3.2), which causes the occasional misdirected drag and drop. Organizationally: While trying to learn disclabel the "proper" way, I wasted a lot of time on the second tab when I could have just imported any image directly in the 3rd Edit mode. The whole integration concept could be better handled by simply setting it up in a Preference pane so that it doesn't seem mandatory.

Like I said, I do recommend it. The ability to save label designs and simply drag-drop them to template positions is excellent! I'm a graphic designer and I've been using a homemade Quark template, but this is actually kind of refreshing and I prefer the simplicity. I fight with disclabel to get what I want, but so far I do get what I want.
