Why ask this question when you are obviously planning to continue to use the stick-on labels? Are you waiting for some one to reassure you that your disc failure problem is an isolated case? It is not. It is a well known fact that stick-on labels ruin discs and I also know this from experience.
Hub printable media cost about $0.40 a disc at most. Here is a deal for .27 each disc Taiyo Yuden 4x injet hub printable 100 pack
Taiyo Yuden are considered the best media you can buy.
Printer cost under $100 with rebate. Epson or canon(with eprom hack)
So for a total cost of about $.50 a disc, you get very professional looking DVD and they will last.
Your initial costs will be more but in the long run it is worth it, trust me. I was in your same position a couple of years ago until someone set me straight. Now I can't believe I ever used stick-on labels.

Thanks for the suggestions, i actually was just making a slight joke about the $16 thing. the other thing is that when i made my brother's set i put sticky labels on his and he has watched all his dvds and said they work fine with no problems. Yet, i had major complications.
i'm in the market for a new printer anyway, and if printable ones are this in this price range, than who am i to pass up the opportunity. though may i request that i can pm or email you when i am in a position to do so, i am not aware of this "eprom hack," but thanks for the help thus far.
