Lightscribe burner is used to print label directely on a cd or dvd...


Can we print label on a simple cd like writex or moserbaer samsung with lightscribe supporting burner or writer?

 

[QwertyManiac]

No, you need Special Lightscribe Media to be able to use Lightscribe on it.

and ya, I haven't seen one so far and my Lightscribe Liteon DVD writer has not lightscribed even once in the last twelve months

its no use spending xtra money in buying a Lightscribe writer cuz Lightscribe media is not easily available and price is high too.

 

[The_Devil_Himself]

yea the prices of lightscribe media are very high.

Why cant we print on normal cds and dvds we use?

LightScribe is a registered trademark of the Hewlett-Packard Development Company.LightScribe is a direct disc labeling technology that burns text and graphics onto the surface of a CD or DVD using the disc drive's laser and a specially coated LightScribe disc. (It's a safe, nontoxic chemical reaction of the LightScribe disc being "etched" by the laser.) A LightScribe disc drive burns data and creates labels using the same device.

i've seen lightscribe CD-Rs.my cousin got them bundled when he bought his HP Pavilion pc.
the cds look like normal cds with nothing written on the non recording side.this side has a layer which has a slight yellowish tinge.
