By Nikki Davis
CD and DVD labels come in a variety of different paper qualities and prices. For example you can purchase matte or glossy labels. In some offices, the matte labels, which are cheaper, are used for the in-house archiving of disks, while the glossy DVD labels and CD labels are used for client copies of the same archives. Knowing what kind of CD labels or DVD labels will run through your printer is also helpful. Styles currently on the market include inkJet only, laser only and inkJet and laser.
