Yes. To have them professionally printed and cut. It may have been a few dollars less...57 and change. I didn't think it was a terrible price to,get them professionally done. I was quoted in that neighborhood by a guy on Facebook and a member here as well. I think the guy on face book was $1.75 per label plus shipping and I forget the other one but it was also in that ball park. You think it was too much?
If they're being cut for you, no, that's not necessarily too much. But like anything else, it's up to you if it's worth it. Hell, I'd pay someone to cut for me too, but only if I knew they'd be as anal about cutting as I am. This is where most of the time to make these things comes into play, and cutting labels for an entire tour can take a considerable amount. (Get a good paper cutter, don't use scissors!)
However, I do believe this can be done for a lot less if you choose to do other tours yourself. For example, the glossy sticker labels I use are roughly $32 for 100 pages. These are the best quality labels I've found so far and my local print shop uses the same. For the labels pictured in this thread you could very likely get 2 labels per page, and the average cost between 2 of my local print shops is $0.65/page for color (laser) printing, so... 32 shows, 2 show labels on a page = 16 pages, and at $0.32 for each sticker label page and $0.65/page for printing, that's pretty damn cheap, IMO.
Also, 3 of the 32 shows are 3 discs, and since there still aren't 3-disc chipboard sleeves on the consumer market that means add another page to print those (3) labels too (all 3 should fit on one page - see pic).
My last bit of advice is this - buy glossy discs to print on, like Plexdisc "Liquid Defencse Plus" (brand). I'm now using these for all CD-R's/DVD-R's/BD-R's. They're the best thing going for printable discs since Taiyo Yuden stopped making them, and don't get fooled by them selling their CD-R brand to CMCPro. In my 3 spindle experience since CMCPro took over for YT this brand is complete crap. I've never had more coasters in my life, and the print quality diminished too.
Also, you'll see from the image I decided to make my own labels rather than use the ones provided because I really like the Klausen art on this tour and didn't want to leave any of it off so I made them "full sized". This also meant that all the 3-disc sets needed to have artwork modified/merged for the back tracks. Also, these were made before I found the current glossy labels I'm using today, so these don't look as good as they could.
I'm happy to answer questions for those who want to make them, but please don't ask me to make a set for you because I just don't have the time, sorry.
These are professionally printed and semi glossy. Can get wet and won't run. No inkjet printing. The discs have been printed since I first created. For the third disc, I am doing exactly what Ten Club and Nugs are doing, just inserting into a white sleeve and storing inside the others sleeve. I like it better that way...no need to have the extra sleeve IMO. I'll post up some pictures once it's done. Hoping to start it today but got a lot of other stuff on the plate right now...lol.
Thanks for the info.

Inkjet printing on any glossy or semi-glossy sticker labels is an absolute shit show, which is why I have mine done at a print shop. I've given mine the water test too, no runs. Looking forward to your pics.
Are those sticker labels for the actual discs? If so, you'll regret doing that a few years from now. Have many, many discs with sticker labels on them from many years ago that are now worthless due to the glue from the stickers destroying the discs over time. Just a word of caution from experience.
No. It's for the cases/Sleeves. My CDs are printed on. I'm going to start the project this weekend. Pretty much exactly like DMW did. He graciously supplied the files and I took them to the printer to get done professionally.

Hey check out how my project is going for the 2006 boots:
Im about 25/72 done now. Big thanks to those who gave me input and answered my questions on how to do it. I made the labels with the front being the show poster and the back being the included official artwork for the cd.
thanks again folks, hope you all enjoy the bootleg porn.

If nobody has spoke for the Vancouver one I'd love it.
Thanks anyways!
Good job again.
Or does anyone have the artwork for the original CDs?
I would also be interested if someone could upload the files.
