burn label on disc

**Liz** · November 28th, 2006 03:14 PM

where can i buy cd's that can be labeled thru burn(direct disc labeling), i read the manufacturer's box, it says, using a cdr with "lightscribe" icon on it means it can be direct labeled but i don't know where can i find this type of disc. around how much will it cost?

Hi Liz. You also need a LightScribe capable optical drive to do this

Hmm... we've recently discussed this in a different thread. Accdg. to Sir KikkoMann (sorry po kung wrong spelling?), mura na sa CD-R King.

Kung wala pong malapit na CDR-King sa inyo, eh meron din po sa Silicon Valley (normally mga SM Malls meron). Price ay 35 pa po for CD-R lang with slim case. HTH.

how will i know if my dvd drive is already lightscribe? when i bought my laptop, the shop told me that the drive is already lightscribe. i even have a preinstalled program to burn lightscribe discs. but when i tried to burn one, the program says it doesn't detect a lightscribe drive.

galing pala ng lightscribe.. kala ko kaya lang maglabel ng characters on the 'data' side of a cdr, yun pala kaya ng mga designs..

*boybi. from lightscribe.com. baka makatulong..

Q: How can I tell if I have a LightScribe-enabled drive in my Desktop computer?

A: There is an easy way to know if your CD/DVD writer has LightScribe capabilities. If the drive shelf that opens, closes and holds the disc has the LightScribe name/logo on it (the word “LightScribe” is part of the logo), then your drive has the LightScribe capabilities. If there is NO logo on the CD/DVD writer then your drive does not have the LightScribe capabilities.

Q: How can I tell if I have a LightScribe-enabled drive in my Notebook computer?

A: Slimline drives do not have enough space for a LightScribe logo on the drive tray cover, but a LightScribe logo sticker should be affixed to all LightScribe-enabled notebooks. To make sure, the presence of the disc encoder sensor can verify that a drive is LightScribe-enabled. Looking straight down on the spindle after drive tray is opened, look for presence of a LightScribe disc encoder sensor as an indicator of LightScribe capability.

does this mean dapat two sensors ang makikita ko? one lang itong nasa laptop ko. sabi pa naman sa akin nung shop, lightscribe na ito. naloko yata ako.

nyek cdr-king pala mern, ok tnx. last question, ang print b ng lightscribe parang ordinary b&w print?

Monochromatic pa lang daw ang LightScribe, a grey etch on a gold looking surface.

From late 2006, Lightscribe discs are also available in colours for categorisation. The "burning" is still monochromatic, but the background colours can now be produced in various colours, under the v1.2 specification. In time, the intention is to advance to full colour burning on a plain background.
