LightScribe is an optical disc recording technology that uses specially coated recordable CD media to produce laser etched labels with text or graphics, as opposed to stick-on labels and printable discs. The LightScribe method uses the laser in a way similar to when plain data is written to the disc, a greyscale image of the label is etched onto the upper side of the disc. In the beginning, the discs were available only in a sepia color but today are available in many colors.
The purpose of LightScribe is to allow users to create direct-to-disc labels (as opposed to stick-on labels), using their optical disc writer. Special discs and a compatible disc writer are required. Before or after burning data to the read-side of the disc, the user turns the disc over and inserts it with the label side down. The drive`s laser then etches into the label side in such a way that an image is produced.
The surface of a LightScribe disc is coated with a reactive dye that changes color when it absorbs 780 nm infrared laser light. The etched label will show no noticeable fading under exposure to indoor lighting for at least 2 years. Optical media should always be stored in a protective sleeve or case that keeps the data content in the dark and safe from scratches. If stored this way, the label should last the life of the disc in real-world application. LightScribe labels burn in concentric circles, moving outward from the center of the disc. Images with the largest diameters will take longest to burn.
Please Note: You will require a lightscribe enabled DVD writer to print to the label side of the disc. |
