Can any of you Photoshop users, who at some point I'm sure will print your art onto CD labels, point me in the right direction?

The best I've found were made by Boma (from Japan) which I've used for the last couple of years but I can't get them in the UK any more and it's driving me nuts. I found some alternatives at a computer fair which were as good, unbranded ones, but they've disappeared too. Since then I've tried Neato and other unbranded ones, none are as good - all allowing the ink to soak in and blur the image. Neato are the best but they blur too.

Does anybody know of a truly great matt photo quality CD label that does not blur?

Many thanks and sorry if this is sort of in the wrong forum but I need to reach people who print stuff.

I use Neato exclusively. I'm not sure of the blurring you're talking about but the mat photo ones (I thinkn that's the ones) do well for me and we send them to 8 different states in southeastern US. Made thousands of them. I also like the Photoshop template they offer. Makes things easy. The glossy ones would probably do better if you're seening blur somehow but they seem a bit expensive to me. So, I stick with the mat photo ones.

To rule out the obvious .... Have you gone into the printer properties on your page setup to change the type of paper being used to do the CD Label? If you have it set for plain paper, you will get get bad results no matter which brand you use.
