LightScribe is a new technology that offers consumers and businesses a simple, hassle-free way to burn professional, silkscreen-quality labels for their CDs and DVDs.

Using the same laser that burns data in your disc drive, with a LightScribe-enabled drive you can burn data as normal, turn the disc over, reinsert it into the drive and burn a label. No more need for messy markers or clumsy adhesive labels. Imation DVD media with LightScribe™ Direct Disc Labeling Technology brings you a whole new world of personal expression in CD label making.

The three elements of the LightScribe system are designed to work together seamlessly:

Hardware: LightScribe enables drives help ensure precise, consistent imaging on the disc surface for sharp, detailed labels

Software: LightScribe-enabled software from your favorite software companies makes it easy to create disc labels-using your own text, photos, or designs

Media: A thin dye coating on the label side of the LightScribe disc absorbs laser light, which triggers a chemical reaction to give you a silkscreen-quality reproduction of your artwork

Features:

• Up to 8x recording speed
• Up to 4.7GB capacity
• Holds seven times more data than a full size CD-R
• Will play back in majority of DVD-ROM drives & DVD Video players, and read by DVD+RW drives
• Dye coating on disc specifically designed to be used in LightScribe-enabled hardware
• Gold disc color
• Labels print iridescent black on disc
