It depends on the kind of label, and the strength of the adhesive Thicker labels made for color inkjets with glossy finish tend to have stronger adhesives than slimmer labels made for laser printers. The day I damaged a CD-R trying to remove a label it was a Neato brand of the "glossy finish" type for inkjets. The CD-R was also a very low quality disc, so the dye had little or no protection over the data layer. Not all CD-R discs are created equal http://www.kmgdigitalinc.com/downloads/1906Not_created_equal.pdf "To protect the coatings, lacquer is applied, and high-quality manufacturers make it nice and thick or will even apply a separate protective coating. Poor CDRs have very little protection on the coatings and will scratch easily, or worse, delaminate.
