LightScribe: Personalise your CD/DVDs like a professional

Like with hard drives, the evolution of CD writers is not something that is overly prodigious. We would like to take advantage of the BluRay and HD-DVD technologies of course, but these are still inaccessible due to their restrictive price. Simply, the only real innovations being seen are with the increased writing speed of t he media. Integrated into a number of laptop and desktop computers, and not well known to users, the LightScribe technology which has already been presented for a few years by Hewlett Packard, allows you to label optical media. In this article we will be taking a look at this technology.

Most users who write to CD media find themselves marking their disks with textas once their compilations have been completed. But if a lot of you, like us, opt to download from legal download services like iTunes or Direct2Drive for their multimedia content (music, TV series, videos, PC games, etc) we have started to pay more attention to the looks of our optical support. After all, it’s not very nice to see vulgar writing in texta on the surface of the disk.

There are Ink jet printers that are capable of customising the face “design” on your recordable media (Canon Pixma iP4300 on photos).
The cost of the cartridges is higher, but you get the benefit of colour.


Of course, if writing on the disks with a felt tip pen is good enough for you and you don’t need to print any customised CD covers, and then you can leave this article go. The LightScribe technology isn’t for you.
