@clduncan You might just want to save some money and use a soft Sharpie to print the info with. If you stay around here long enough you'll read that stick-on labels cause problems down the road. Printable discs and lightscribe disc are ok but expensive.

Thanks for the heads up. After 1500 DVDs I find out that stick on labels are bad. LOL

I am looking into alternatives for labeling my CDs and DVDs.

Cheapest way is with a sharpi.
The neatest with the above mentioned printers.
Some prefer Lightscribe.

"ScubaBud" I am going to have to say that it is not very forgiving at all. I wish they would make this printable disc a little better but they are not that forgiving. On little drop and you will see the smudge.

Thanks for the information. Yes, I got your PM as well. :)

I have no intention to print on the media at this time. Too many other issues will be hitting us soon with the new media on it's, new OS from Microsoft, etc. I'll lay low and stay with the Sharpie for now. :)

You have to have a tray that comes with a printer that can print onto blank media. I don't have one. I'll stick with sharpie. I did one Lightscribe and I could hardly read it. Ididn't use the most intense method tho. I think Epson 200 series will.

Well if your'e in the US then you pretty much need an Epson. I heard of some people modifying printers but I think they were Canon Pixma. Or you can buy a dedicated printer.

I have been reading this thread with interest. So what about this lightscribe drives that actualy etch what you want onto the DVD or CD (which must be etchable). So they burn one side, you flip the DVD in the same drive and then etch the image you want. Drawback: Only etches black & non-black (ie DVD background).

@rjessa My experience with lightscribe has been brief. The lightscribe discs I had were gold, so the laser writes on the gold background and I used a 1 pass method. I could barely read the disc. There never is a black color on the disc. I finally just used a sharpie on it. The printing is more of a darker gold color than the disc itself.

Well HP is the best with the lightscribe drivers. So if your thinking about getting one get a HP. But with the lightscribe they burn the image or text (you decide that) with the laser whcih burns the material on the disk. They're cool man.
