What is LightScribe™?

Imagine taking a disc, inserting it into a drive and burning your data onto it. Nothing new there you are thinking, well now imagine taking that same disc, flipping it over in the same drive and then creating a professional-looking label, that is laser-etched onto the discs surface.
Simple - just 'Burn, Flip, Burn' with LightScribe Direct Disc Labelling
How does it work?
Burn your tracks onto the data side of the disc.

Flip the disc over to the label side and put it back in the drive.
Burn your label by opening your LightScribe-enabled label-making software and choosing the CD template work area. it really is that simple, but if you want a more technical explanation, see below.

Technical Explanation:
Your LightScribe-enabled CD/DVD disc drive contains a special laser that pumps light energy into a thin dye coating on the label side of the disc. The light from the laser causes a chemical change in the dye coating that shows up as a visible point on the disc. With laser precision, LightScribe delivers closely controlled light energy to multiple points on the disc as it spins in the drive. The result is a high-resolution reproduction of the artwork, text, or photos you composed in the software application
