I need to find a vendor that carries glossy cdrom labels for either 
full size,or 3 inch mini and/or business card size CD-ROMs.  The
vendor must guarantee that these labels are compatible with Epson's
new DuraBrite inks that are used in the Epson C82 printer.

Hi, Mr4698 ...

Neato makes great high gloss labels for CD Roms and the minis (not to
mention a lot of other labels, cases and holders).

A quick call to their customer service department assured me that it
does indeed work with the DuraBrite inks for the Epson C82 printer
(and the other Epson models that use the DuraBrite inks). Neato also a
no-questions-asked 100% refund policy if you're not completely
satisfied for ANY reason.

The Neato website is at:
http://www.neato.com/

Neato products are carried by the following retailers or office supply
stores:

BEST BUY 
COMPUSA 
DATAVISION 
FRY'S ELECTRONICS 
GUITAR CENTERS 
J AND R COMPUTER WORLD
MICRO CENTER 
OFFICE DEPOT
OFFICE MAX
SAM
ASH MUSIC 
STAPLES
TARGET
VIRGIN MEGASTORES
WALMART 

Their guarantee is on every product they sell, but you can find it on
their Website at:
http://www.neato.com/neato_guarantee.asp?mscsid=4XVSS536MLBQ8GB390V7R8JWE39FAM6D

I use Neato products with my Epson C80 (uses the DuraBrite inks), and
there are no smudges and so far, no fading.

Hope this helps,

This really seems to be the answer I am looking for - I am a little
gun shy because we have tried so many different labels but I have
never heard of Neato so we are going to give this a try.  If these
work, please know that you have saved us time and money and given us a
great answer to a question that has plaqued us for weeks!!!  I gave
you 5 stars because of the great answer and information.  I sure hope
this works!  Thanks again and again.

Is there a reason that you think that any old label isn't compatible
with this printer, whether it be glossy or matte finish? From the C80
specs, which is more than likley either the model previous to the C82
or a sister/brother to that model, seems to print on any standard
media types, including all the plain bond type paper as well as glossy
photo paper. The C80 also uses the durabrite ink.

Tried using any old glossy label - let it dry overnight and in the
morning when you run your finger over the print it smears big time! 
Thanks.

I now have renewed concern about using the Neato labels because we
have talked to Neato and they say gave us the following links to check
out before we order the glossy CD-ROM labels:

I paid the researcher for the answer that now is apparently not
exactly correct.  The researcher told me that he checked with Neato
and they guarantee that their glossy labels will work with the C82
Epson printer.  When I checked out the links above that were given to
us today by Neato, I don't get a warm fuzzy feeling at all.  I feel
like I may have jumped the gun and given the researcher 5 stars etc.,
before I actually checked out the information I was given.
