I've had good results with CD Stomper brand matte white CD labels.
I had some that I bought in 1999 that I just used last year, and they still stick! and I haven't had any problems with them coming off or anything like that. Even the CDs that I made 7-8 years ago have no problems with the labels I put on them.
As for printing them, getting a printer that prints directly on the disc will save you a lot of time, money, and frustration. If you use paper labels, you are gonna be putting the labels on before you print them, if you didn't know that already
, which allows you to make perfectly printed labels. I got mine for free after purchasing a digital camera. What a deal that was! Anyway, you should also try the generic ink as well; I got mine off ebay and they worked/fit fine. They are much cheaper, but the color quality isn't great. It is satisfactory, though.
FYI, I have an Epson R220 and was able to print over 150 DVD labels without changing any cartridges.
Even though I haven't had the problems others are having with pixellation and freezing from the labels or disc deterioration from the paper labels' glue, I am making a gradual switch to printable DVDs. They are a bit more expensive, but it's worth it because you don't have to stick the labels on anymore, which is time consuming.
