 LightScribe Direct Disc Labeling is a new technology that offers consumers and businesses a simple, no-hassle way to burn professional, silkscreen-quality labels on their CDs and DVDs. Using the same laser that burns data in their disc drives, customers burn their data as always, flip the disc over, reinsert it into the drive and burn a precise, iridescent label.

Key Components |
|
LightScribe Direct Disc Labeling technology requires three elements:
• LightScribe-enabled optical disc drive (ODD): Minor, low-cost modifications to the optical disc drive enable validation of media types and control of sled position, spindle speed and focus to burn the label on LightScribe-compatible media.
• LightScribe-compatible media: A micro-thin, low-cost coating of a highly specialized material on the label side of compatible media absorbs laser light, triggering an image-producing chemical reaction. Consumers can readily identify LightScribe-compatible media through the LightScribe logo, found on media packaging and in the lower hub of every disc.
• Droppix Label Maker : Licensed Droppix Label Maker software application taps lower-level software system services to connect the user experience to the firmware controls, delivering the user’s desired label to the imaging system |
