CD-printing directions for clients

[JaneHasty]

If you sell the CD to clients do you provide them with specific printing instructions? If so, how do you word it? Thanks, J

Printing and use permissions are listed in my contract with the client. I write them in a way that is easy to understand for everyone, but are still listed explicitly

Thanks! I appreciate you taking the time to answer. I am in the midst of re-wrting a lot of forms/contracts for 2011.

I have my printing and use agreement in my contract also, but also have a PDF file of the printing/use agreement which I put on any CD that I sell. It's just the last file I put on the disc before burning.

I hadn't thought of that, I'd like to know what kind of printing instructions you'd write for this document.

If I understand correctly, the question is more about "how to" instructions rather than licensing terms.

I do provide basic recommendations.
No Walmart, No Walgreens,
Home printing if you know what you're doing, MPIX, or Costco if you get their ICC profiles.

I recommend two companies: One is a national chain that I know can print things properly (though they're changing their systems soon and that recommendation will likely be dropped). The other is for a private photo printer that I know and trust.
