I've seen disc labeling kits in stores like Best Buy that let you use your printer to print a custom label onto this special sticky-backed paper that came with the kit and then stick it on the disk. I don't know if it has any software with it for the template to create the artwork or anything though. I've never used them before, so I don't know too much about them, but I do know they exist. The one I saw had some sort of contraption in the kit that assured you put the label on the disk uniformly after you created one. It's hard to say whether a loading system like the Wii has would tolerate the extra thickness of the label on the disk, but I doubt it would be much of a problem. Maybe you could look into that.
Also, there are CD/DVD drives with something called "LightScribe technology" in them that will print a label on the disk, but they only print in black and white and require special lightscribe compatible disks to work. The software for it should come with the drives that have the Lightscribe feature. The special Lightscribe disks are more expensive than regular ones too. We actually have a couple drives like that here, but we've never used that feature simply because of the expense of the disks required for it to work, so I don't know how good it is. I think the cost of the disks makes the feature sort of useless myself.
Personally, I just use the good old Sharpie myself and never think twice about it. But you know, that's just me.
Meh, I prefer some life in my disks lol Plus my sister's hot friends always say my handwriting sucks

Any recommendations? I'm using just regular Verbatim 16X disks but I hate writing on them with sharpies, I want pretty! lol
I have an hp all in one printer (no cd feature though) any good cheap recommendations?

"Cheap" is sharpies!
Yeah I saw that one, pretty cool but if I started a disk selling business or something I could get that. Though in that case I'd have bigger matters to worry about

Writing on DVDs with a pen may be as cheap as chips but they'll never look as good as

Worth buying a new printer for imo...I've got 3 and a half shelves full of Wii games in white DVD cases and custom covers, and they look great.
