Many of
us have one, a burner with LightScribe capability. But have you ever used it?
Maybe not, I know I haven't and I even have some media! Maybe I should read this
guide and then I will get creative, then patient enough to label a disc. This
guide is pretty good too and explains a bit about the improved Version 1.2
media, that promises faster decorations. The author of the article
also does some labeling using the "HC" or High Contrast mode, even
providing us with some screen shots to check out.
 Basically, there are new discs that should have "Version 1.2" on
the packaging. These new discs are an improvement over the first
generation discs and contain an "updated" surface that is said to improve
burn times and produce labels faster that the original discs. One
clear way of knowing is by purchasing 16x rated DVD media. The very
first DVD LightScribe media only supported 8x write speeds.
Companies like Verbatim have
released new 16x discs, all of which do sport the new and improved
layer. With CD media, it is a different story though. There
are currently no Ver. 1.2 discs in this variety. While I've read
numerous press releases with the promise of such media, I have yet to see
them. The reason for this is apparently due to the lack of demand
over the DVD variety. It just doesn't make any sense to me, but
those are the facts. |
