gwendolin, everything is working GREAT!!!
Both of my Canon IP4000 amd IP6000 printers are making beautiful CD/DVDs.
I would never have done it without your assistance.
Many thanks!!!

gwendolin, now that I have everything working I really don't see a need for the rollers. It works mechanically just as well as my Epson R220.
Muchos Gracias & Adios

Up side
NO INK!!
Down side
2 or 3 times the price of normal discs
Only CD and 4.5GB DVDs
No DVD RW and DVD9 lightsribe discs yet
currently not worth IMO

4.37777777777... LOL I have lightscribe and haven't even taken time to use the demo disc that came with the drive. Like someone said, the price is a downer. I just slap a name or number on the discs with a marker. If I want art, I put it where it will be seen, on the case. Normally the only time a disc is seen is when it's going from the case to the player and back. Anyone interested in the factory covers for DVDs, CDs, and cases should check out http://www.cdcovers.cc/ .

There's pros and cons either way you go. For a disc that is to be handled a lot, it's hard to beat the laser inscribed images, plus no ink (which has to be added to cost and some ink cartridges are outrageous). As for picture quality, it's hard for lightscribe to match the photo qaulity of a good printer. As I've heard 'Pete say in the past, "whatever floats your boat". I'll just stick to the markers.

Who knows? ;) Lightscribe and even inkjet printables are still a niche market. Looking over the inventory, most of it is "shiny backs". As for the labels, as long as they stay stuck and don't start deteriorating, and that's assuming they're properly centered each time as well as "no bubbles". I did some labels and then noticed the fine artwork was most always hidden away in a case or in the player. I came to the conclusion there had to be better things I could spend my money on. ;)

Wise words from the masterful ScubaPete come to mind at times such as this, "Whatever floats yer boat". As usual the choices boil down to user preference and what the individual has at hand to work with.
