Where to get printable center labels?

This is where record cutters raise questions about cutting, and trade wisdom and experiment results. We love Scully, Neumann, Presto, & Rek-O-Kut lathes and Wilcox-Gay Recordios (among others). We are excited by the various modern pro and semi-pro systems, too, in production and development. We use strange, extinct disc-based dictation machines. And other stuff, too.

From my experience they are not the best quality.
They are in most cases to small (2-5 mm) to fit the entire size of an excisting centerlabel.

also, they seem to be problematic when printing.

but they are the only supplier I have heard of.

Sorry for the shameless plug, but I sell labels on my company's website - I had them custom made for use by my company as well as anyone needing labels specifically for records; not just round paper labels that you can't ever get centered ;)

When I laid out the dies I designed them on standard US paper size (8.5 X 11) but you can still print with full bleed in programs like Photoshop, etc. All orders come with a CD-ROM with templates for Word, Photoshop and Illustrator, and a readme file describing how to get the best results.

The paper stock is high quality matte kiss-cut with epoxy adhesive, and they print in inkjet or laserjet printers without a problem (we do it every day). Three sizes available in 60-label packs just like VC's product and priced roughly the same. If you order, mention you're a lathe troll and I'll cover the shipping.

I am all for shameless plugs, especially when they deliver a service we all need. Rock on!

Also noticed an error on the site; the label diameters are all 3 inches not 4 inches... fixed it this morning :oops: That'd be some BIIIGGGGG labels...
