| Posted: | | | | I have a slight problem. Years of buying bargain-bin discs have left me with a stack of 30 or so boxes with damaged UPC labels. I simply need a program that can duplicate a UPC label and put it out in a format that can be used on standard ink-jet printer labels.
The plug-in that uses a p-touch label makers sounds great, but I just do not want to buy new hardware for the few labels that I need.
Thank you in advance! |

Depending on what kind of barcode-reader you have, the simplest solution would be to get a barcode-font and just type away. Put asterisks at the beginning and the end of the number and of you go. No, that is not a real UPC, but e.g. the CueCat reads those just fine, other scanners might too. see this picture cya, Mithi PS on second thought: the DVD Profiler Plugin Ptouch Label and Barcode Print and Save might already fulfill all your needs.

Just FYI, I wrote that plugin without ever owning the printer. All you need is the print driver. The plugin saves the labels as image files as an interim step to printing. If you want, you could arrange the images in Word or Powerpoint for printing on standard label sheets. I never tried that, but it seems doable. Personally, if I had 30 boxes of DVDs, I'd invest in a cheap label printer. | | | Thanks for your support. Free Plugins available here. Advanced plugins available here. Hey, new product!!! BDPFrog. |

| Posted: | | | | I would also invest in some labelprinter. Either Dymo or Brother, as you can use those for more then just printing out barcode labels for your DVD boxes. | | | Unfortunately, I can't use DVDprofiler at the moment due to lack of a Windows computer. |
