5Very nice, easy to useJun 26, 2008
By Wanderer52
The label maker kit is very nice and easy to use. It has lots of available options for creating labels. You can create simple to very intricate labels. I've created hundreds of labels and have had little to no problems with the kit (most of the issues I initially encountered were, yes, user related). As with all new software it does take "a little" time to become familiar with. I would highly recommend this product. This really is a nice, simple labeling kit and one that I believe you'd be pleased with purchasing.

5Great Product, Great DealFeb 06, 2010
By David Bay
Wow! Labels, an applicator, and a free program............what is not to like about this product? I supposed some people have problems as not all programs work on all systems. But my Widows XP, Service Pack 3 did just fine.

The label making program is "Sure Thing". They must have sold to Memorex some rights so they could call it "exPressit". But when you load the software it clearly says, "Sure Thing". It is a great label making program, especially when it is for free. Granted, it is Ver 4 and not the Deluxe Ver 5. But the only difference I noticed, besides a few convineience buttons and perhapos some other features I missed, is that it ONLY prints Memorex labels. IF you purchase the Ver 5 separately for $25 you can print on practially any label stock format. But since Memorex seems to be one of the few "full face" label makers AND offers a very competative price AND offers special "DVD" labels, this free version is hard to beat. You can at least try it for awhile and if you do not like Memorex, get the retail version and use the label manufacturer of you choice.

I had no problem with installation or calibration. I did, however, use a printout on plain paper to calibrate. I printed and then held up the printout BEHIND the label plage to insure proper alignment. But it was such a minor adjustment (+1 horiz and -1 vertical), it was easy.

I highly recommend this product because the Avery applicator is $9 on its own; the program, to downlaod is $25 on its own; and if you include the labels, you can add another $10. I will say, however, that there is a debate on labels for DVDs. I have had no problems, but the question is will the labels stand the test of time - 1 year, 20 years?

I am purchasing "DVD" labels separately as these are technically for CDs even though they say CD/DVD. Perhaps they will be fine. I do not know. But I tend to believe that labels on DVDs may be an issue (i.e., warping as a result of hte paper collecting moisture, drying up a bit, tightening, and thus warping the disc so it is not read properly). Therefore, the best way to label DVDs probably with a marker (gently) or a printer that prints the ink directly on the DVD. But the former is "tacky" while the latter is more moola and another issue altogether.

All in all, for $15, what is there to complain about? It is worth the try. I think its great.

3CAVEAT: NO Free Updates for use on Vista or Windows 7Jul 02, 2011
By R. Rawley "Blu-ray fan"
This software is NOT for VISTA or WINDOWS 7 - out of the box. NO system requirements are listed in Amazon.com Product Description OR Technical Details. After loading the software on my Windows 7 PC, clicking on HELP or TUTORIALS gets a referral to Microsoft with instructions how to download a special .HLP fix for use on Windows 7/Vista. 'Help' then works [with one macro error message]. There is no helpful description when cursor 'hovers' over the numerous tools, double frown :(

Once Help files open, 'support', looking for updates, leads to the actual manufacturer who licensed Memorex branding of the software and labelmaker. The Standard upgrade is currently an additional $14.95 or the Deluxe Upgrade for $19.95 for Memorex customers. Both of these upgrades are for Windows 7. The program does seem to work okay even on my Windows 7 PC, in 'compatability mode'...at least for now.

Personal pet peeve: There is a REALLY LARGE choice of text fonts drop down menu...all displayed in the same font, not the actual font. It is very time consuming to try each one to see what they are.

Be sure to compare prices for the Memorex 'proprietary' labels versus the Competition i.e. Avery. It is the labels' prices that can either drive up costs or save you money...over a year or more. A low priced KIT may cost very much more in the long run!

4A good productJun 14, 2008
By M. Herring
A good product that printed my designs as desired. The program has many templates for labels but I have a hard time finding one I like...so I used the program to design my own. Imported some pictures and within minutes, had a nice professional label. My printer (Epson CX6000) had no problem printing the labels as showen on my computer screen. I wish the product came with more labels...that is the only draw back I came across.

4Great Labels, Fairly Easy to UseNov 26, 2010
By Drew
The software is a little low quality, but it makes printing quick and easy. The program is easily calibratable and saves you a lot of work you could be spending trying to print from somewhere else (originally I was going to print from Illustrator before I found this kit). The features for designing your CD are pretty crappy, but you can easily take care of the actual design in another program. The labels look great, but I guess that really depends on your printer. One complaint I have, though, is that when they say 138 labels, that includes EVERY label (aside from the CD labels, you get jewel case spine labels, multiple use labels, and DVD case inserts); you only get 30 CD labels, which are what I bought this for. Also, I just realized that the CD Label Refills also comes with the software and it actually says 120 CD labels (not 138 labels)- not sure if that means you get labels for 120 discs, but I'll be looking into that. I guess the majority of the price for this is for the cheap, plastic applicator. Pretty cool, I guess, but you can applicate the label just as well and in the same fashion with the stand the CDs/DVDs come on. My advice would be to just go with the refills that come with the software (if you really want it). Can't vouch for those right now, though, but I'll probably be ordering some soon (since I only got 30 with this buy) and reviewing them afterwards.
