Summary: Don't bother using the software that comes with this kit
Comment: The main reason I bought this kit was for the label applicator, the software was secondary. Good thing that I didn't care about how good the software would be, because the software for this is, in a word, deplorable.
It doesn't have support for ANY other label sheets other than the memorex brand, which leaves you stuck with their labels. Its got some nice features in the software, but their poorly implemented. For instance, it can automatically resize an image to fit a CD/DVD, but if you've rotated it before that, the rotation is lost. It has a lot of minor quirks like that, and they add up to an annoyance to use this.
If you get this product, find a better labelling program to go with the label sheets and the applicator.

Summary: No Problems with this Software on an iMac
Comment: I recently purchased this labelmaker system for use on my iMac, and have had no problems at all. I printed out my CD labels on an Epson CX5200. The quality of the printouts isn't as clear as I'd like (most likely due to the quality of the paper), but it's not bad for a home system that cost under $20. It's easy, quick, and has lots of cool graphics.

Summary: Bad Compatibility
Comment: I have the older, larger version of this product. However, it uses the same software. The labels are great and the spring device that is used to apply the labels is great, but the software is awful. There is no direct Macintosh program; rather there are templates. They were written for old versions of software and really don't work right. The Windows side includes an actual Print Shop-style program which works awfully. If you do get this, make your own template on AppleWorks or PowerPoint.

Summary: horrible horrible software
Comment: This software was a total waste of money. It would randomly move the images I had imported, fail to save when told to do so, and bring my computer to a snail's pace. I have over a gigabyte of memory and this program would not work at all. Don't waste your money on this.

Summary: Worst... Label Maker... Ever
Comment: The labels are sticky on one side, and printable on the other, but that's about all this product has going for it. The software is a nightmare. The print previews only vaguely represent the finished product, and the program frequently and randomly alters your image. I wound up using the labels, but creating the documents in MS publisher. what a shame.
