The laser inside a CD/DVD disc drive with LightScribe technology focuses light energy onto a thin dye coating on the label side of the disc. Only LightScribe media has this special coating.

The light from the laser causes a chemical change in the dye coating that shows up on the disc. With laser precision, the drive renders the text and images that you created for the label.

There are three different layout modes for burning labels: * Full mode. Although it takes longer, this is the mode to use for a full-disc image. * Content mode. Perfect for creating artful borders around the center of the disc. * Title mode. Great for a small amount of text or graphics. This is the quickest mode.

LightScribe labels burn in concentric circles, moving outward from the center of the disc. Images with the largest diameters will take longest to burn.

What is the meaning of lightscribe?

Lightscribe is a special technology used for labeling CDs and DVDs. With Lightscribe-capable drives and special discs, you can burn a monochromatic picture or label on the disc label. You cannot use the labeling feature in a non-Lightscribe drive, or on a disc without the photosensitive label. However, the discs can be burned in non-Lightscribe drives as well, and regular discs can be used in a Lightscribe drive.


Can any cd work with lightscribe?

Not all CDs are compatible with LightScribe. Only specific LightScribe-enabled media, typically labeled as "LightScribe discs," can be used for this technology. These discs have a special coating that allows a LightScribe-enabled drive to etch images onto the disc surface. Standard CDs without this coating will not work with LightScribe.

How do you get lightscribe to work?

You have to have a drive that lightscribe software recognizes as a lightscribe drive and you must use special discs that are lightscribe discs. These discs have a very fine special coating which reacts to the laser of your writer (that's how it works). PS - The lightscribe discs are available quite everywhere. They are not sold by the lightscribe company and I dont think lightscribe is a one of a kind software either.


How are Lightscribe CD's different from regular CD's?

On one side they are the same, on the other they have a reactant dye that allows lightscribe DVD burners to burn a label for the dvd. so you have your normal burnable side, like any other dvd, and then you have the side that would be blank on a normal dvd, that is able to be burned with a lightsribe drive to show a picture, or words


Is there lightscribe DVD-rw disc?

Currently, no... I've checked in Amazon, Compusa, Best Buy, Circuit City and many other places and there aren't any. It's something remarkable because we're in the year 2011. Technology has reached many places. There isn't a valid excuse to not make rewritable lightscribe discs.
