Re: Printing on CD label --LightScribe
I thought listers might be interested in this opinion from a computer sales and service guy that I use about the Lite Scribe. function. Hi Peter, No. The drives I and most people use are not Lightscribe enabled I can get them but the technology is all but dead see the following reasons 1, Burners are around $20 more. 2, Disks are more than double the price of inkjet printable disks. 3, Most mid range inkjet printers print directly to disks and can be very colorful and easy to read. 3, Lightscribed disks are hard to read, one shade of silver or gold. 4, Your canon MP760 prints directly to inkjet disks now for free Jonathan Mosen List Founder Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: Printing on CD label --LightScribe
Your source is wrong on a couple of counts. First disks are not so expensive as he indicates. Second, you can get disks in a variety of colors and the labels are not at all difficult to read. If you have ink jet printable technology with you printer, that is fine, but it generally comes at a cost. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Peter Scanlon Sent: Tuesday, December 09, 2008 4:49 AM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: Printing on CD label --LightScribe I thought listers might be interested in this opinion from a computer sales and service guy that I use about the Lite Scribe. function.

RE: Printing on CD label --LightScribe
Peter and Gary, You've been pointed to Chip Orange's excellent template for printing Avory cd/dvd labels in Word. However, that does not actually print on the cd or dvd. The LightScribe technology allows one to burn a simple or quite elaborate label on the label side of a LightScribe enabled disk with the appropriate software and a LightScribe enabled cd/dvd burner. Essentially, you burn the music or data to your disk using whatever program you are accustomed to using. When that is done, flip the disk over in the burner and go into your labelling program. There are free stand alone programs that you can get at http://www.lightscribe.org Or many cd burning programs such as Nero or Roxio include LightScribe labelling in their laebl creation sub-programs. I use a simple stand alone program from the LightScribe site. You enter the program, fill into a couple fields of information i.e. artist and disk name, hit next and then burn label and in a couple of minutes you have a print quality label on the disk. As mentioned about, you need a LightScribe enabled burner and LightScribe enabled disk. They are virtually the same cost as regular high quality disks. There was a compeating technology released at the same time as LightScribe, but I haven't heard anything more about it in the last couple of years.

Re: Printing on CD label
Hi Peter, Write to Chip Orange at [EMAIL PROTECTED] He has developed an accessible Word template which can help you generate Avery 5692 and 8692 CD labels. In addition to printed information, this macro will also add a barcode to the CD label, and the spine label of the jewel case, so that you can use a talking barcode reader to match up CDs with cases, as well as quickly determine which CD is which. The interface is easy and screen reader friendly, but you do have to have Word (any version), and you have to use Avery 5692 or 8692 CD labels (2 sets per sheet, each set is a CD label, a top spine label for the jewel case, and a side spine label for the case). from Norma: I have not used this macro, I took the above information from a message I kept that Chip posted to a JFW list. Anyone with questions or thoughts should contact Chip Orange directly.
