The latest LightScribe technology (version 1.2) allows for faster labelling, and sharper images compared to the original LightScribe media.

For those customers who are still unaware of LightScribe technology, how many times have you printed a label for a freshly burned disc and screwed it up? With LightScribe discs and software, you will never have to print a label again. Using the laser in your drive, the software will etch a design of your choosing into the disc. All you have to do is flip the disc, run the software, and choose your image. Get a perfect image on your disc, everytime.

A few examples of things you can print on the disc:
- A list of track titles and lengths for a music CD
- A digital picture of the DVD or concert on the disc
- Images created in Photoshop
- Professional looking labels for disks you give to clients

This technology is sure to change the way users burn discs. The underlying technology is simple yet ingenious. The top surface of these special discs is screen-printed at the factory with a thermal-sensitive coating (a leuco dye). When exposed to infrared radiation from the recorder's CD laser this material heats and forms a visible mark through an irreversible chemical reaction.

By pulsing the laser on and off at the appropriate time as the disc rotates, a pattern of these marks is produced. The entire label is then built by stepping the laser across the surface of the spinning disc thus forming the image in a series of tightly packed concentric rings (tracks).

- LightScribe can't peel off, get stuck, or cause disc damage the way paper labels can.
- Use text, photos, and even pare-set designs for beautiful results.
- No pens, no ink, no printer, and no sticky labels
