This is from LightScribe web page: -------------------------------------------------------------- Q: Does ultra-violet light fade a LightScribe label? How much does the image fade, and over what period of time? A: Sustained exposure to direct sunlight should be avoided, both to prevent damage to the data side of the disc and possible fading of the label image. The image will fade under direct sunlight, but the rate will depend on the light's intensity and exposure time. --------------------------------------------------------------- An alternative would be to use inkjet printable CD/DVDs. I believe it is better - it takes much much less time than burning a LightScribe DVD (you may have to burn it twice to achieve the contrast). Epson Inkjet printers which can print directly on the CD/DVDs are cheap, the inkjet printable media is also very cheap as compared with LightScribe media. Of course, you have inkjet's full color rather than LightScribe's monotonous grey. However, inkjet printed DVDs are not waterproof (unless you spray some form of protection coating on top). -- --Lawrence [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.vex.net/~lawrence -- --Tungsten T3 Enhanced DIA Keyboard----Nokia Ringtone Convertor-- -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
