Printing labels for your CF Cards.

Hercules · 17 October 2017, 01:49

I decided to swap over CF Cards at the back of my machine to boot different Workbench setups...

One thing I also wanted to do was print my own CF card labels.... Simplest and easiest way....

Using LibreOffice to print CF card label...

o Using LibreOffice choose to a document (CTRL + O). Choose a picture of your choice.
o Click the picture you loaded in.
o Press F4
o LibreOffice 'Postition and Size' box pops up. Untick 'Keep ratio'. For Width, enter: 4.00. For height, enter 3.36cm.

Print your label (colour printer preferred), cut it out and cover the label with clear tape to give it a shiny finish, trim off access cellotape and using some glue, stick it on your CF card. Job done.

I’m glad I’m not the only one looking into this ??

Anyone find any pre-cut labels, easy to remove and/or easy to erase and re-write many times type?

I found these, for use with my cf cards.

They are not the “erasable” labels I was looking for, but they are approximately the right size.
