myidisbb Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 [i rmember there being another special top layer disk burner for labeling but like lightscribe no one does it. the only other way that i believe most do is get the paper that has labels for cd/dvd and print on they with a label maker for cd/dvd. (nero and others should have it) then either you place the label on yourself or you use a small devise that you push label and cd/dvd to make it go on easier.

Administrator DKT27 Posted May 30, 2010 Administrator Share Posted May 30, 2010 I read somewhere (while searching more about lightscribe today), that you have to turn your disk upside down and start burning to draw that. But my question is, what type of drives can do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ck_kent Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Any DVD writer with lightscribe support would do that. But you also have to have a lightscribe CD/DVD media so the laser can etch the label with graphics or texts. These drives are cheap nowadays and almost all new dvd writers support it. Just make sure though that it has the lightscribe logo on the drive or the box. The lightscribe CD/DVD media on the other hand is a just little more expensive than the ordinary discs.

*dcs18 Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Coincidentally, one of my Customers has left her dv2700 laptop with me for a complete re-format that's been lying at my place completed for the last 3 days. Just remembered it's got this 'LightScribe' functionality and here's what's displayed on the sticker at the left-hand-side hand-rest:-LightScribe Direct Disc Labelingmakes personalized, monochrome,silkscreen-quality labels on yourLightScribe-enabled media.

Administrator Lite Posted June 5, 2010 Administrator Share Posted June 5, 2010 You can get special CD/DVD sticky labels and can use any image you like (with your printer) and stick in onto the disc, if LightScribing isn't an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toshiro Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 You can get special CD/DVD sticky labels and can use any image you like (with your printer) and stick in onto the disc, if LightScribing isn't an option.When I read this topic.. That line was the first thing that came up here. Why didn't I see this option untill Lite posts it? Dun want to buy Lightscribe thingies? Go buy CD/DVD stickers, print something on them, put them on your DVD and tada! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ck_kent Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 I don't know if anyone here has experienced this but I used to put sticker labels on my dvd burnt movies and it always (and I mean always) makes the movie skip after putting these stickers. I've always put my labels centered and flat on the disc. First I thought maybe I was just using a poor quality DVD+R but I have tried different name brands as well, until I googled it and there were others experiencing it as well and one suggested to peel-off the sticker and clean the disc. I did just that and lo' and behold, the movies are playing fine now. Now, I just use a felt-tip pen to label my DVD+Rs. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeetPirate Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Don't use a regular felt tip pen, the chemicals from those regular type pens and permanent markers breakdown the protective layer on the cd over time. I know people might think that markers labelled specifically for writing on cd are a ripoff but they are not, those are actually alcohol based pens that do not damage the top layer of discs. But yea I just use a cd pen, the printed labels add weight to the disc and could cause additional stress on your drive, lightscribe is too expensive for the ugly quality. If you are really passionate about printing on discs I believe there are printers that could print directly on the discs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ck_kent Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Actually, I'm using a felt tip pen specially made for cd/dvd. I just forgot to mention it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
