Taiyo Yudens and Mitsuis are both available with blank fronts.

Double labels seem like a bad idea to me. One of them is enough to screw
things up on cheaper players that have trouble with undersized motors.

Buy blank top CDs or thermal white CDs are even better.This way you have no
brand name to show through.

Yes, "unbranded" (nothing written on the cd) FujiFilm cd's are nowhere to be
found on the web. Even though I like Fuji, I'm going to try Mitsui silver
because like you said, they DO come "unbranded" and the quality looks good.

thanks,

One label is also enough to easily jam in car players, regardless of
player quality- typically get hung on the face on the way out from
being ejected. Hate 'em.

Fuji CDs are made by Taiyo Yuden or at least they use to be.I think they
switched to another company recently.If you go with Taiyo Yuden or Mitsui
you will have no problems.

You might want to invest in a casio thermal CD printer instead. Paper
labels can wrinkle and may also damage the CD surface in addition to
other problems mentioned in this thread. The printers cost around $75
but the results look quite professional and the printing is durable.
The printer ribbons are fairly expensive (end cost is about the same
as paper labels) but the end results are worth the expense.

Try searching for cdr's on ebay. You can find some really great deals
on either plain silver faced blank, or white face labeled blank cdr's.
Neither of these should let anything come through the label.

There are new CD burners which can write a label with the laser
itself. This looks to be the best solution.

CD labels are usefull for short term labeling only. During a long term
storage the label my either absorb or emit water depending on the humidity
of the room where the CD is stored. This may cause the label to shrink or
expand and will in turn bend the CD. So the outer parts of a CD will no
longer be readable. There's no way to remove the label without completely
damaging the CD. This kind of problem will usually develop 4 years after
printing the label...

There are inkjet printers which can print on the cd's. Some of them are
fairly cheap.
Personally, since my CDR's are now in the hundreds, I just use a pen, my
favorite being Copic .Too black.
