Disc Writers Now Print the Label Too

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the it's-a-bout-time dept.

gardolas writes "Rippers and burners with an eye for design have a new way to smarten their image. Disc writers that can print images onto the label sides of the discs will hit the market next month. The LightScribe system has been developed by Verbatim and HP."

      Want something even worse? Consider what a CD looks like when it's stored in an ordinary (single-CD) case. The part in the centre looks like a puckered... umm... and you have to stick your finger in it to get the CD out.

      I'm listening to nothing but MP3s from now on.

  2. word choice? by brewman123 · · Score: 2, Funny
    This means that rather than have to write the contents onto the media by hand, use a separate specialist (word choice?) disc printer, or sticky label, users can achieve silk-screen quality images using LightScribe-enabled Verbatim CD/DVD discs with the optical drive's laser pickup.

    apparently a bad word choice for "word choice?"

    Well forget the marker for writing to CDs, the folks behind LightScribe (HP) have given us 101 USES FOR YOUR PERMANENT MARKERS.

    It would be interesting to see this information compared to total articles posted by an editor to come up with a batting average.

    Then we could start a fantasy slashdot league, pitting teams of editors against each other. =)
