LightScribe Color '“ Yellow

 

LightScribe Color ‘“ Yellow:

The SureThing program is very easier to work with. We created a layout here to the LightScribe feature. After we were satisfied with the layout we pressed Print Label (LightScribe).

In the print option dialog we also find a Diagnostic button and we clicked it of course.

We closed the LightScribe Diagnostics windows and selected ‘Best quality” and OK to print the label in the Print Dialog windows.

The program gave us a notice ‘Please ensure that you have a LightScribe disc inserted in the drive with the label side down”. (As you can see you can choose ‘“ Don’t show me this message in the future.” We went on with OK to print the label.

The SureThing program showed us an estimated remaining time of 25 minutes and 24 seconds.

Writing process finished, let us take a look at the result.

The quality and contrast is very good.

Verbatim has released this product in CD-R form already in the USA and Canada... but DVD+R and DVD-R have yet to be released. I think companies are waiting to see if it takes off or not. Personally, I welcome the change of background colours, even though I don't think it's a massively big deal, the price difference is fairly small, and it breaks the monotony.

I'd rather use glossy printables with the watershield protection. It takes 2 minutes to print in FULL color. Printers and ink are dirt cheap. The latest Canon iP4300 is $70 and the carts can be refilled for $1 per cart. Eventually Lightscribe will surpass inkjet printables....I hope.

Hardgiant, where you filling ink from? I threwout my last inkjet printer in favor of B&W laser and I have never been happier, toner is cheap! For this reason I love lightscribe even with its limitations, FYI there is a download on www.lightscribe.com which increases the contract of lightscribe burners, it works too.

Misleading item title. I thought it meant full color Lightscribe not just Lightscribe with different colors.

Till real full color lightscribe arrives is better to stick with gold ones, or better use the printer, the rest look awfull. I don't mean that to stop using the printer when its arrives. We will have to check the quality and see how usefull it can be...

Has anyone tried to burn a Lightscribe CD in a Labelflash burner? From what I found so far, Labelflash only has DVDs & I want to burn CDs. Plus Lightscribe is readily available; I can’t find Labelflash locally. :d

It cant be called a colour lightscribe....coz the printing colour is still monochrome ie grayscale....yes the background colours are different....

Have been using Lightscribe discs for about a year now, can't see much advantage in just a color background. Am waiting for full color to come out before I change.
