A WHOLE NEW WAY TO LABEL YOUR DISCS
LightScribe is an innovative technology that uses a special disc drive, special media, and label-making software to burn labels directly onto CDs and DVDs.
Because the labels are laser-etched-not printed-there's no ink, no smudging, and no peeling.
Your labels can be whatever you want them to be. Create one-of-a-kind designs with your own photos, text, and artwork using your label-making software. Or choose from the many free backgrounds the software provides. You may also visit LightScribe's Design Center for free downloadable designs.
Once you create your design, be sure to follow these three steps:
* Burn your data (music, photos, video, etc.) in the LightScribe drive.
* When your data burning is complete, open the drive and flip the disc over.
* Burn your LightScribe label. Remember, the same drive that burns your data burns your label, too.
THE TECHNOLOGY BEHIND LIGHTSCRIBE
The laser inside a CD/DVD disc drive with LightScribe technology focuses light energy onto a thin dye coating on the label side of the disc. Only LightScribe media has this special coating.
The light from the laser causes a chemical change in the dye coating that shows up on the disc. With laser precision, the drive renders the text and images that you created for the label.
There are three different layout modes for burning labels:
* Full mode. Although it takes longer, this is the mode to use for a full-disc image.
* Content mode. Perfect for creating artful borders around the center of the disc.
* Title mode. Great for a small amount of text or graphics. This is the quickest mode.
LightScribe labels burn in concentric circles, moving outward from the center of the disc. Images with the largest diameters will take longest to burn.
You must have a LightScribe-enabled disc drive (either built into your desktop or notebook PC or an external drive).
To see if you have a LightScribe-enabled disc drive, look for the LightScribe logo (see picture at the right of this text).
Notebooks and some computers that use slim drives may not have enough space on the drive tray for the LightScribe logo, but a sticker should be attached to the computer.
It's easy to burn a label with LightScribe. Follow these short steps to start burning right away.
Remember, making labels and burning your data are two separate steps. You may burn your data either before or after you burn your label.
