What is LightScribe and How is it Used?
LightScribe is a new way to label CD's and DVD's using a special paper mounted to the top of the media. So in a nutshell, after you have created your cd/dvd, just flip the media over and burn an image or text to the media's top.

LightScribe's Abilities and Limitations
Pro's and Con's
Pro's:
1: Allows you to put images on the surface (label)of whatever you desire.
2: Very easy to use, exspecially if you are already familiar with burning. It is basically the same concept.
3: Cheaper than using ink from your printer and buying special stick on paper. Also, there is less of a chance of jams in a player.
Con's:
1: The burning process may be considered slow depending on the image you are burning.
2: You are limited to black and white (greyscale) imaging. Unless your label paper is colored, this would give some false tense on color.
Conclusion:
Overall, LightScribe is cool and looks sharp. However, if you are looking for color it may be a while until they figure that one out. Give it a try today and see what you think.
