Cd label design software

Hi, I need to design some cd labels. Just real basic, homemade cd's to be printed on an inkjet. Have any of you used appleworks for this?
Neato has a mac version of their software that looks good.

This version is cheaper, though only has templates for mac.

Any comparisons with CD Stomper? Suggestions?
Thanks, Mike

I always use AppleWorks for designing CD/DVD labels. I scan either the template or a sheet of the labels that comes with whatever labels I'm using as a PICT (best for AppleWorks) & insert the PICT into an AppleWorks draw document. I print a copy on plain paper to make sure I've got the margins right & then save this as a template. I've tried downloading templates but it was more hassle than scanning my own.

Can anyone recommend DVD/CD label design software?

Hi,
I am currently using Maghic Mouse Discus, just wondering what else is out there, preferrably to download.
I find Discus a little bit limiting woth regards to using photos on the label.
Thank you for your tips.

I use Discus to design DVD labels for printing directly on printable discs. The application also has layouts for the many DVD case types. This screenshot shows some of the print-to-disc lables I've designed with it:

Barcode Label Designer

Hi
I am having a requirement to print Barcode labels on an Intermec 3400E printer from SAP. I am on the looking for a label designer to create the labels and to upload into SAP. I am considering two designing tools , Bartender Label Software V9.0 from Seagull Scientific and LabelShop Pro with ERPLabel from Intermec. I like know the pros and cons of the above tools and how easy to develop labels and deploy in SAP. Also like to know whether we can design the labels using smartforms and print on the Intermec 3400 Printer.
Many Thanks
Skaria Manoj

I opted for Bartender Enterprise V9 for creating the label and used the print server for printing.. The solution is like this. The contents to be printed from SAP will be send to a ftp site using an ABAP program where the Bartender Print commander looks for print files. Print commander then send it to the specified printer .
Cheers
Skaria.

What's a good web design software to use with hype.

I didn't have luck with sandvox, rapid weaver, or highway. It seems that iWeb is gone and im trying to transition into a diffrent html5 compatible web software. I would like to learn web coding but for now i need a quick and efficiant transsition. I've came across Hype and its great but iWeb can use it. I would love to hear some suggestions on what everyone else is using (not including previously mentioned apps).

No, iWeb has not gone anywhere. It is correct that Apple no longer sells it or supports it, but iWeb is an application like any other on your mac and if you have it you can most definitely still continue to use it. It works with Snow Leopard, Lion and Mountain Lion and by all accounts, it will work with the new Mavericks too.
You can do a search of this site and there are literally hundreds of posts on the same topic of new web design software, but you can take a look at Flux 4, Freeway Pro/Express 6, WebAcappella 4 and Quck n Easy Website Builder. Other than that, you are then looking at Content Management Systems such as Joomla and WordPress.
You can also take a look at EasyWeb which is a new app being developed by Rage Software - it has not been released yet and is still in its beta testing stage, but this is closer to iWeb than most.

Integration of Oracle Apps with the Third Party Label Printing Software

Hi,
I am integrating Oracle Apps R12 with the third party Label Printing Software(Bartender).
For generating the Label, I have to create the XML file in Oracle Apps and with the help of Oracle WMS i have to transfer the XML file to the TCP/IP Port.
Third Party Label Printing Software will pick the file from the TCP/IP Port.
I am not able to find the way to send the XML file generated by the concurrent program to the TCP/IP Port using Oracle WMS.
Below are the few links for Oracle WMS:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B25284_01/current/acrobat/115wmsug.pdf
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E18727_01/doc.121/e13434/T210618T210847.htm#T210864
Thanks In Advance..

Hi,
I assume, i have already setup profile 'WMS: Label Print Mode' to Synchronous - TCP/IP.
Basically, you dont have to create any concurrent program for XML creation, Oracle will do it for you 'out of box'.
Also set 'WMS: Synchronous TCP/IP label request delay' to 100, this is a required step, though none of the documentation talks about it.
if you think that all the requests are not handled correctly, then you will need to increase this delay further.
Lastly, verify that the printer is setup correctly in Oracle (Place where you specify IP Address and port)
Thanks,

Suggestion on box design software or will illustrator do that?

Looking for help or suggestion on if there is a simple packaging design software that will help me. Let's just say I want to create a cereal box, with all the side and most importantly, all the flaps that fold. I just wondered if that is a plugin or something that can make this real easy?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks Harron for your reply. I do have samples from the packager but I wanted to design some no so square boxes, more of a display box with cut out and such. I did find a software in my search at www.pkg.com but I called them and the cost was $5,000, about $4,999 too much for me :(
I wish there were templates to download and then I can modify the length, width and other dimension to suit my needs. Alot of what I'm doing now is trial and error but it does work but time consuming.

Purchase order design software

I'm looking for a purchase order web designing software that works with or is compatible with iweb software. Does Apple have anything that is like that? I'm hoping to find something as easy to set up and work with as the iweb. I already have a memobile account and have a working website redirected from that account to my website link. If Apple doesn't have anything could you suggest a company or software that would work?
thanks

Leslie ~ Welcome to the discussions. As far as I know, Apple doesn't have "Purchase order web designing software". But this old thread has some suggestions for e-commerce with iWeb:
"Purchase order web designing software" is not readily apparent, but Business & Finance software for OS X in general can be found here. Also here and here.

SAP Business By Design Software- A Review

SAP Business By Design Software- A Review
An Independent Enterprise Resource Planning Software Review :
SAP is one of the most recognized and trusted brands within the enterprise resource planning (ERP) software industry. Having delivered SAP R/2 in 1979 and SAP R/3 in 1992, the company is one of the original vendors that defined the ERP software market. SAP was started by five IBM engineers in 1972 in exchange for 8% founders' stock. Today the German-based company retains the largest ERP market share of any software vendor; with the possible exception of Oracle depending upon how market share is calculated.
SAP Business ByDesign is the company's software as a service (SaaS) offering targeted to small- and medium-size enterprises (SMEs). On September 19, 2007, a one-size-fits-all, subscription-based ERP system aimed at midmarket companies was released as the first SAP ERP SaaS product, previously code named A1S. After several troubled installations and a flawed go to market strategy, SAP pulled ByDesign from the market for a system revamp and significant code refactoring.
Approximately three years later, Business ByDesign reemerged as a multi-tenant SaaS solution, complete with a new architecture, Silverlight presentation layer and PaaS tools for extensibility. As of December 2011, Business By Design was closing in on its first 1000 customer acquisitions and is available in Australia, Austria, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
Though SAP ByDesign is targeted toward SMEs with 25+ users, the solution can be used by organizations with as few as 10 users. The ideal range is 25-500 users, but the cloud scalability should facilitate more users if required. Business By Design is also finding a place as a Tier 2 ERP solution—being installed at smaller line of business or geographically dispersed locations and integrated to parent companies using the SAP Business Suite.
While Business ByDesign is the company's first back-office foray into the cloud, SAP has since also released cloud-based Line of Business applications. Sales OnDemand—an SFA application with strong social design—was released in July 2011 and is targeted at SAP ERP or Business Suite customers looking to extend their on-premise systems with add-on cloud components. Interestingly, the Line of Business applications were developed on the Business ByDesign framework, but don't integrate with Business ByDesign. Sales OnDemand only integrates with SAP ERP for back office business processes, so SAP customers seeking a complete software as a service CRM solution are limited to Business ByDesign.
By Design is offered in four enterprise software categories: customer relationship management (CRM), financials, professional services automation (PSA), and supply chain management (SCM). These solutions each include a combination of different modules, and they can be acquired as stand-alone capabilities as well. The entire ERP software suite includes the following:
Customer relationship management (CRM)
Accounting and financials
Project management
Supply chain management (SCM)
Supplier relationship management
Human resources (HR)/payroll
Analytics
Compliance management

SAP Business ByDesign Independent Review

SAP Business One GUIs (screens or forms) are the primary interface elements. They usually cover a rectangular area on the computer screen and represent certain tasks or applications running on the computer. The user may move them around the computer screen, size, stack, activate, or de-activate them.
             When we discuss screens in the context of the SAP Business One System, we usually refer to their work area. You, as the developer, position interface elements within the work area to adapt a screen to a certain task. In addition to the work area, a screen consists of elements. Some elements serve for basic window handling, and some of them are specific for SAP Business One.
         There are two basic kinds of screens in the SAP Business One System: primary screens (main menu/forms), and secondary screens (dialog boxes / message windows).
          SAP Business One application functions always reside in one main or primary screen where the user's main activity takes place. In addition, secondary screens appear in reaction to the user's actions to supplement the main screen. On both types of screens, the user may enter data, make choices or is informed of errors / consequences of actions. There may be more than one secondary screen opened simultaneously, but only one can be worked with at a time

Need advise on preparing .ai files for print house for labels design

Greetings!
I just got a freelance job to do label design for commercial products (cleaning, food products, etc).
Its a huge task as the company have lots of products in the market and they decided to drop the design
company that were doing the labels for them and hire me to be the main designer.
Since my main work with Illustrator and Photoshop is been for Web Design and screen graphics,
I am not sure how to use Illustrator CS5 the best way for preparing the final files to send to a print house
according to European or US norms, I would like to have some help from other users that maybe are experience with this kind of job.
My main concerns for now are:
1. Should I send .ai or .eps?
2. Pantones or CMYK ? And how to create the artboards that show the measures of the labels and the pantone colors palette
    (I have seen examples on some prints that have show me ), but have no idea if Illlustrator already have a template/tools for that.
3. About the size of the labels, if its a straight shape, like a square, you make the artboard on that size and just put some bleed,
    but since most products labels come in many shapes, how do you work around it?
   Since the artboard can´t have the same shape as the labels , will the white background being print?
4. When using effects like highlights, reflections, especially in Titles, how do you create the pantones for that ?
Hoping to have some help from the community here, you can send me some links, tuts,
everything that can help me to understand all this kind of process, I will be much appreciate.
Thanks!

Some of the following (but not all) repeats, but elaborates on or clarifies what others have said.
First, though: While I certainly don't mean to discourage you, you will be far better off getting started if you realize this:
Designing for commercial-quality print is a hugely different world from designing for the web. You are now dealing with characteristics and limitations of real-world, physical machines, inks, substrates, and many-step workflows. The most tragic (and potentially disasterous) error web-only designers (and their clients) make is naively thinking that moving from web design to print design is a simple lateral move involving nothing more than a few quick answers to a bullet list of questions (CMYK vs. spot, etc., etc.) If you fall into that camp, you are asking for serious and costly trouble.
A user forum like this is a very poor place to educate yourself. Forums like this are populated by more beginners than experts, many of whom are far too eager to post answers. More often than otherwise, answers are--if not downright wrong--not best-practice.
You need to gain a working knowledge of the printing processes with which you wll be dealing. Take a class at the local tech school. Visit the printing houses (and don't carry a designer's chip on your shoulder). Look for any opportunity to get your fingers dirty; offer to do some grunt-work in a press room to gain exposure. Read authoritative books on the subject.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
f1. Should I send .ai or .eps?
Nowadays, PDF is the preferred delivery format for whole documents. If the printing house is placing the artwork in a program that cannot place PDF as a spot graphic, it is conceivable that they may need EPS. Depends on the printing house's workflow. In print work, you need to communicate with the printing house--and you need to learn to speak their language.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
2. Pantones or CMYK ?
Don't say "Pantones." Pantone is a company. Say "spot color." Pantone makes both process and spot inks. Pantone is not the only source for spot color. Your question is "spot color or CMYK process." The answer depends on the specific project.
Labels may involve CMYK process, spot colors, or a combination of the two. You can't just add colors to your design willy-nilly. You have to plan and design for it. It depends on the printing budget, the printing capabilitites of the printing house, the printing method, and even the design (which may affect the substrate, which may not be suitable for process).
When designing for print, don't think in terms of colors. Always think in terms of inks, because that's what you're really dealing with. Each time you add an ink, you add a workflow process, and therefore cost. As soon as you add a number of inks in the design that exceeds the number of inkwells on the press on which it will be run, you have just necessitated another press pass.
Labels also commonly involve clear or translucent inks (varnishes), liquid lamination (flood or spot), metallic inks, and/or foils. Each of those count as an additional ink or even a different work process. Sometimes certain inks require drying time after previously-laid inks, which also affects costs.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
And how to create the artboards that show the measures of the labels and the pantone colors palette
Again, best practice depends on the printing house and its workflow. For example, it can be a no-brainer labor (i.e.; money) savings to gang multiple instances of a label design onto a design page (Artboard) set up to the size of the press sheet.
It can be advantageous to draw die cuts on a separate Layer, also ganged to match the artwork layout. Same may apply to foils, varnishes, and embosses. It's often advantageous to draw trim and fold marks in the bleed area of the page layout. It's often advantageous to add registration marks in a press-sheet layout.
Again, best-practice depends on the project--but the economical and turn-around advantages can be significant.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
(I have seen examples on some prints that have show me ), but have no idea if Illlustrator already have a template/tools for that.
Whenever you catch yourself thinking "I have no idea if Illustrator..."--read the instructions.
Most graphics programs (including Illustrator) provide options for including basic "printer marks" (trim and registration marks, separation labels) outboard of the page size. That doesn't mean it isn't often advantageous to add your own. For example, the auto printer marks setting will only add one set of trim marks for the whole page. That's pretty useless in a multi-up layout, which is quite common in label design.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
...but since most products labels come in many shapes, how do you work around it?
Pages (Artboards in Illustrator) are rectangular. One typically provides die cuts (and/or varnishes, foils, embosses, etc., etc.) as elements drawn accurately on a Layer dedicated to the purpose.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
Since the artboard can´t have the are same shape as the labels , will the white background being print?
There is no "background." This is an object-based program. Where there is no object, there is nothing. By default, even white fills don't mean "white ink"; they mean "no ink." (Remember, think inks, not colors.)
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
4. When using effects like highlights, reflections, especially in Titles, how do you create the pantones for that ?
Illustrator is primarily a vector based drawing program. Vector graphics are by nature and even by definition sharp edged. When vector programs try to provide "soft & fuzzy" features, they do it in either of two ways: either by programmatically creating additional vector paths and parameters (blends, grads, mesh grads), or by resorting to creation of non-vector "effects" (raster images). Whether such features correctly handle spot colors depends on the feature, and even on the version of the program.
So whenever working with spot color--in any program--you have to stay consciously aware of what you are actually doing (what kind of objects you are creating) when you apply such features. That's why it does no good in a user forum to speak of nebuous designerly terms like "highlights" when you ask technical questions. In order to get a correct answer, you ultimately have to state the kind of objects you are dealing with (and feature, and version, etc.).
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
1. PDF?? I only use .pdf to show the client the designs before approval but never as final file...also I have heard from some many places that if the print house needs to open the file on a different design program the best is to send them .eps
PDF is a delivery format. As such, it is very versatile. Design comps is only one of its many uses. But PDF is not meant to be an editable format. When you deliver a PDF that was created by Illustrator and which is fully editable on the receiving end, you are really embedding in the file a full second version of the file as native AI content. Whether this AI-native content is included is controlled by you when you export the PDF.
Editing PDFs that do not have the AI-native content embedded can be very cumbersome and problematic. Again: PDF is a delivery format, not an editing format. Ideally, the printing house should not have to edit your press-ready files. It is supposed to be up to you to build them correctly. That should be your goal.
I expressly forbid printing houses from editing my delivery files. If an edit is needed, it comes back to me, and I make the edits. If a printing house chooses to edit one of my files without permission--and a problem result--they eat it; not me.
Yes, yes, if print-side minor editing (like the afore-mentioned ingredients boilerplate scenario) is part of the established workflow, that's fine; its assumedly been agreed upon as the cost-efficient workflow. But generally speaking, the kind of designer who routinely relies upon the printing house as a "safety measure" to fix his files is...well...exactly the kind of designer I would not hire.
By the way: Hearing something "from many places" (especially in online user forums) in this business is no indication of correctness or best-practice. Quite often, the most-cited advice is the bad advice. Case-in-point: The ever-cited myth that everything for print should be rasterized to 300 ppi. 300 ppi is usually needless oversampling. This is especially true in reference to mere raster effects like those controlled by Illustrator's Document Raster Effects Resolution setting. 300 ppi is almost never needed for the most common uses of such effects: blurry drop shadows, glows, etc., etc. "Fuzzy" is the very purpose of those effects. All you have to concern yourself about is the potential for visible pixelation, which is directly tied to halftone ruling.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
...what I was mention is to be able create like a table where you list the pantones use, same time to put measures guides on the artboard itself, is this possible to do in illustrator?
Again, separation names are included in the Printer Marks option of the Print Dialog. See the documentation. Depending upon your delivery format and workflow, the printing house may not even use Illustrator's printer marks; they may use those in one of their prepress programs.
But you should always check the seps before sending a press-ready file. You can do this in AI's print dialog, or in Acrobat Pro. Regardless, it's your job to make sure the project color-separates correctly. It is very common to "finish" a job thinking you have been very careful and everything is right. It is just as common to preview the seps and find an object on the wrong separation plate, or knocking out something it shouldn't, or overprinting something it should knock out.
(There's also the whole matter of trapping, which this thread has yet to mention.)
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
...imagine I have a label that is a star with 200x200 px, and the artboard is white background with 300x300px,
I will add (with as much force as I can muster) my admonition to that which has already been given: when talking about actual, physical measure, forget about the web. Forget about Photoshop's rulers. Forget about pixels. A pixel is not a unit of measure. If you think it is, tell me: How big, in inches, is a pixel? I might as well ask you "how high is up?"
If you tell a printing house that the trim size of your document is 600 by 1200 pixels, he will (and should) laugh at you.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
if I print the artboard on my laser printer I get the label with the background also, so how does the print house manage to
not have the background of the artboard when they print?
If you print the artboard on your laser printer, you do not "get the background." Think about it: Do you have any white toner in your laser printer? (Think inks, not colors.)
All the above is offered in a spirit of helpfulness (and some tongue-in-cheek jest). Take it as such. Bottom line, though--and this is not meant to be the least bit insulting--unless the company you have just contracted with is a small mom & pop shop and/or has very basic labeling projects, it really sounds as if you are already in well over your head. I am certainly not saying any of this is rocket science. It isn't. A dedicated person can learn its ins-and-outs in relatively short time if that time is well spent. But an online user forum is a very error-prone, incomplete, inefficient, and therefore poor way to learn it. It doesn't sound like you have that much time to waste.

Who makes the nicest, easiest to use Flash website design software?

Please forgive the beginner's question. I would like to build
a flash site like
http://www.hockaday.org from an
easy to use Flash template. You get what you pay for so my first
choice isn't something for free but a 30-day free trial version
would be nice.
What I like best about
http://www.hockaday.org is the
great menus and that pictures continually reload in interesting
ways.
Maybe a template is too restrictive. Who makes the nicest,
easiest to use Flash website design software that allows fast
creation of those fancy menus and with other fast features to do
nice things with pictures and motion?
I need to create a site like
http://www.hockaday.org
immediately so I don't have the time to learn Flash first. What's
my best bet?

you are in a catch 22 - you don't have time to learn flash -
yet you need to build an entire site
immediately - you can't - sure you can download a template
that is similar but if this forum is any
proof, you almost need more flash knowledge trying to
decipher most templates in order to edit them
- search this forum, there are several posts per week from
non-flash users who purchased templates
and have no clue how to edit them. Often times it is hard for
an educated flash user to
reverse-engineer a FLA made by somebody else - Flash
documents are blank canvases that can be setup
a myriad ways by different users making the same thing - some
developers are more organized than
others - most templates are not organized but rather thrown
together for a quick profit.
You will simply need to learn enough flash to understand how
it works or hire somebody to edit the
template for you.
hope this helps.

I am on a trial version of InDesign in Creative Cloud and before I purchase need to know why and the files cannot be opened by others using CS6. Isn't Cloud compatible with CS6 design software?

I am on a trial version of InDesign in Creative Cloud and before I purchase need to know why and the files cannot be opened by others using CS6. Isn't Cloud compatible with CS6 design software?

Industry standard files such as JPEG are compatible with many brands/versions of programs
Proprietary files such as those created by InDesign are often not backwards compatible, due to new features in newer program versions
This is not unique to Adobe... MS Word DOCX files are not backwards compatible with earlier versions of MS Word
