Printing MiniDisc Labels

,

For the past few months I’ve been printing labels for my MiniDisc collection using a Canon Ivy 2 mini printer. It prints on 2×3 inch sticker sheets that cost roughly $0.60 CAD per sticker. At first I attempted to use publicly available templates for it, but quickly I found that I had more success if I made my own in GIMP. I designed a template that allows you to print two MiniDisc labels at once on an Ivy printer, which then need to be cut in half to be applied to the discs. Here are some photos of the results, as well as a download link for the .xcf template.
