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.
no you cant download lightscribe. Lightscribe is a lens on a cd/dvd drive that lasers on the top of a cd/dvd.. there are programs that u can download to give u more options with lightscribe, but it is not down-loadable.
Lightscribe CD's do display well, but they have a long burn time. Great for making CD covers, though.
Simply by purchasing a CD/DVD writer which incorporates lightscribe. They aren't dear either.
It is french for "recordable" It does not mean it will work with lightscribe as I was told by a sales assistant at Costco!
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

Any printer can be used to label CDs by printing on adhesive labels which are attached to the CD. Printers which can print directly on the CD start at $60 for a model from Canon. It is also possible to label CDs with a CD Burner which supports a technology called Lightscribe, which adds little if anything to the cost of the CD Burner. These use their laser to print on slightly more expensive Lightscribe-enabled CD media when you insert the disc upside down.
You can download updates for Lightscribe DVD software on the website of Lightscribe. The available updates are in the free Download section. Remember if you have any trouble to visit Lightscribe Toolbox for common problems.
Lightscribe software is a special recording software designed for specially coated CD's and DVD media that have a recordable coating. You can then produce text and graphics on these discs as well as record on them.
Printable CD-R's can be run through printers that support it. Some models of InkJet printers have a carrier that you can put the CD-R onto, and actually put it in the printer to print on it.Another type is a LightScribe CD; those are "printed on" with a LightScribe drive by flipping the CD upside down in the drive and running special software. LightScribe, however, only prints Black and White, whereas a printable CD-R can be printed on in full color, but only with printers that support it.There are no Laser Printers that I am aware of that will print on printable CD-R's, and I would think there will never be because of the fusing process ruining the CD's.
LightScribe produces disc drives that can etch a picture on to the label of a recordable CD or DVD. This allows users to label their burned disks without having to use printable stickers.
LightScribe is an optical disc recording technology that uses specially coated recordable CD and DVD media to produce laser-etched labels with text or graphics, as opposed to stick-on labels and printable discs.
