"CD Stomp Label maker"
Prior to Avery taking over this wonderful labeling system it was the best around.
The new paper sheet system gets stuck in my printer and I have three of them (printers), I wish that they would have left "greatness" alone and just changed the product name.
This new system is totally unreliable and from time to time useless.

"Cheapest quality I've ever seen!"
It's becoming more and more difficult to find quality CD labels at a decent price, but this product is NOT the answer.

Firstly, it's one of those products where they create labels for the "label maker", then one or two years later they change the "label maker" and it requires a new format for the labels. You can't find labels for the old label "stomper".

Secondly, the paper quality for these labels is abyssmal. I've yet to successfully remove the label from the paper without having the center section tear out. The software is NOT good either. I wasted about eight sheets of labels before I could get it correctly calibrated to my printer, and the bottom labels still don't print correctly. Doesn't matter, I guess, since they tear anyway.

Not a professional product at all.

"Disaster on Macs OS X"
This used to work well on OS 9. It is worse than worthless on OS X. The internet downloads do not work either. Stomper is a "has-been" for Mac users

"Mac users need not apply"
Sorry this is so long, but I am very annoyed. Too bad there is no zero star rating, because this product would get it from me. This product DOES NOT work on a Mac with OS X. I have used this product with windows machines and it worked fine, but it does not work on a Mac with OS X. A search in the Macaddict.com forums revealed that many others had this problem too. When I contacted support, the response was "Our current version is operable through Mac OS 10.3. [No!] Secondly, the majority of Mac users are very creative. Most of the time,
they are creating their own templates."

Two things here.

One: They are not going to admit that their product doesn't work on the Mac because they do not intend on upgrading the software and they are not going to remove the Mac-compatible logo from the box. As far as I'm concerned, this is false advertising.

Two: Software that requires a work-around straight out of the box is VAPORWARE, and a rip off.

Don't buy this. 'Nuff said.

"OK in Classic"
I, too, had trouble getting the software to launch in OS X. A call to the tech support line, while not free, was fast and they emailed me a patch for Classic use. They promised a native OS X app CD would be mailed to me in a week. Everything works fine in Classic.

"Warning to users", As a person who spent months of aggrevation dealing with this company, I'd like to offer a warning to anyone considering using this product.

In 2003, I purchased this software as part of a "CD STOMPER" package. Moments after installing it, I was told I needed an upgrade. After spending an unecessary amount of time getting the upgrade via online download, the problems continued. Without getting into detail, the long and short of it was that the product was not functioning as described: Images were being resized without my consent, and printed images were consistently poor in quality even when the source files were 600dpi.

After multiple attempts to contact tech support via the website, an employee finally answered me in one of the online forums. Unfortunately, not only was the help ineffective, but his responses were few and far between. Eventually, anything I posted was ignored. In addition, users with similar issues were also ignored.

I then tried contacting the company via email, and the responses were even slower. I decided to try the website once more, only to find that my IP had been banned from posting. I was furious, and decided to call the company ASAP.

After getting the runaround, I was told QUOTE: "my comments were not constructive to the tech support forum," and that, technically I was "not a click n design customer." According to the person on the phone, I had purchased their software as part of a "CD STOMPER" package that was put together by Avery. When I told them that I was using an upgrade that Click N' Design had been given to me DIRECTLY BY STOMP via registered online download, the person on the phone claimed that I was "really not supposed to have that version," and that I was "given that version out of the goodness of their hearts" (no lie). They then indicated that access to the tech support area of their site was banned, and that I wasn't a customer. I told them that if I was ignored, I'd be forced to contact the local office of the Better Business Bureau, and I hung up.

Shortly thereafter, I forwarded my concerns to the Avery corporation, as well as any corporate contacts for the Stomp, Inc. company who put out Click 'n' Design. Avery in particular was shocked and dismayed at the behavior of Stomp, Inc. After months of back and forth, the company finally decided to issue me a refund for the initial package purchase I made.

In closing, I must say that anyone and everyone should avoid this product and company. Their product was faulty, their tech support was rude and innefective, and their customer relations department was insulting and uneducated.

Don't make the same mistake I did, folks.

"BEWARE! Stick-on labels can destroy your disks!", Before discovering the reality of the warning expressed in the title of this brief - but I believe important - review, I used several different brands and types of print-and-stick-on disk labeling systems. The CD Stomper Pro is among the best of the six or seven I tried. That is to say, the software it comes with is pretty easy to use and creating attractive labels for your CDs and DVDs is pretty easy - as is the basic application of them using the "stomper" itself, a plastic device that holds the sticky label in correct position so it can be placed on the disk with minimal effort.

IF you decide, after reading this review, to continue to either use or consider using this type of disk-labeling system, be aware that each manufacturer has it's own proprietary 'blanks' - that is, the sticky backed paper labels, while all round and standard disk diameter, are plotted out idiosyncratically on each companies templates. So, the ones you need to use with CD Stomper are NOT compatible with ANY other labeling system. This can be important as the prices for the blank sheets vary considerably. Also, some companies produce blank sheets (and the necessary software) that include options of printing labels for CD cases and narrow side-of-case title label blanks. Others do not. So - IF you are going to use these things, shop carefully. Not just for price, but for the accompanying software and labeling options each one provides.

That being said, the MAIN agenda in writing this review is to try to dissuade you from using these sticky labels at all! All of them (there is no one brand exception that I have been able to identify) will throw the balance of the disk off - some by quite a lot. Over time, this will make many of them unreadable on your standard CD and DVD players. Also, the glue itself causes the plastic of the disk to actually decompose. Again, this is not something you would notice right away - but over time, the quality and overall playability of the information, pictures or videos on the disk will become compromised.

Simply put, while the CD Stomper is among the best of what it is - what it is should be avoided.

Alternatives that will NOT damage your disks - either today or into the future, include 1) simply water-based markers, or - for those of you who, like myself, prefer a more professional looking identification of your disk, investing in either an ink jet or thermal printer might be worth your while. (I have a review posted of mine, The Signature Z1 by Primera - a thermal printer that I have been entirely satisfied with.) Additionally, some computers now come with drives and the necessary software to use a system patented as "LightScribe" which allows you to print directly onto the disk while it is still in your computer's drive.

In any event - eschew these stick-on labeling systems. You have worked too hard to produce your disks and don't want them ruined by sticking extra weight and chemicals on them.


"Don't believe what you read... the FREE software is GREAT", I have been using the free version of software for years, and find it to be great. I didn't encounter any of the install issues noted, work in a Windows XP Pro environment, and it has been flawless. Because I went directly to the web and downloaded it, perhaps the issues were resolved. Don't forget, the shelf life for paper is a LONG time... In order to receive the latest version of software requires a download, so go directly there and get it. In fact, this way you can try it before buying.

I suppose there is a newer version available than the 4.8.23 I use, but who needs it? This version is sufficiently feature rich for most users. I do NOT use their canned label formats and create my own, customized for each CD/DVD I burn. Maybe these folks have other system or user knowledge issues? I don't think it's the software. I admit composition is a challenge initially, but once you learn the software, it is really pretty flexible. After all, knowledge is power. This is true in all things.

"BEWARE MAC USERS!! WON'T WORK WITH TIGER UPGRADES", This software trumpets on the box that it will work with Mac, then lists in tiny font at the bottom of the package that the ONLY!!!! version of OS X that will run it is 10.1.

Version 10.1 was the original version of OS X that came out at least three years ago. There are no upgrades available.

Unfortunately for me I didn't notice this problem until I went to use the product six months after I bought it, too late for a refund. It completely will not work on my system, so I'm out the $40 or so I spent on the software and labels. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT, is the bottom line here.

"Win XP users, BEWARE", The software on this system apparently works only rarely with the home version of Windows XP. After exchanging this product twice (for a total of 3 tries with 3 separate fresh software discs from 3 separate CD Stomper packages), I found out the hard way that there is an as yet insurmountable issue with at least one aspect of the installation phase. A quick check online revealed revealed that other XP users have the same problem with the disc hanging, then aborting while installing at least one of the font files, in my case a font file designated ' almontew '. After several exasperating tries with each of the 3 copies of the software, I gave up and returned the whole package for a refund. Avoid this one and save yourself both time and grief.



 
Read this reviews before You buy...

"Quick Easy Install and Great Results", I have been using this for over a year now and have no complaints. It realy is simple to install (Windows XP Home) and use. I have tried other products and this far surpasses them. I love the templates they give you. It helps to know exactly what the label will look like. Just wish I wasn't wasting so much on the paper since I only use the CD/DVD Labels. The 3.5" labels are getting pitched.. trying to think of something to use those for. lol..

"CD Stomper (non)Pro", I tried for hours to get this back software to work. I have a G5 with OS X. The software install states that instillation was suckessful, but it doesn't come close to working!

The Website is totally useless.

If you buy this completely horrible product you deserve what you get.

Compusa owes me for carry such worthless junk.

"If you like making creative CD labels this is it!", I have been using Stomp for my labeling needs for a long time now and though I have not tried other products I highly recomend this one. The interface is very easy to work with and allows you to import other JPEG or BTMP images to your labels to truly customize and create unique CD labels.

The more you play around with this the more ways you can find to transfer and manipulate your images. Lately I have been grabbing images off the net, manipulating them in Paint and copy/paste them to my Stomp template. It also comes with a fairly extensive library of images, but you will find that want to move beyond them soon. I did find it easier at first to print out all the images that come with the program so that I could look at my choices without opening and closing windows. The applicator that you use to get the label onto the CD is pretty much fool proof and one of the most imporatnt aspects of creating good functional CD labels. If they go on crooked you will have problems with playback.

"Good program", I've been using this program for a couple months now and came to Amazon to look for label refils, and I happened across this page with some really bad reviews. I just wanted to add my two cents. I haven't had problem one since I used this program. I, too, am using Win XP. Photo browswer works fine. No crashes. Interfaces with XP with great awesominity.
I dunno what the deal is. They might have come up with a newer version of the software. I'm using 4.8.23 and it works just hunky dory. I import my own graphics after I make them, although 'import' makes it some complex. All I do is browse for it and it's there.
Anyway, works great.

"The latest version still doesn't work", I downloaded the latest and "greatest" version (4.8.2) of Click'n Design 3D for the CD Stomper. The photo browser STILL doesn't work on my Windows XP Home Edition system.

Do they even bother to test their software before releasing it??

Stay away from CD Stomper!
