So, here we are again and this time with more detailed results!

So what is LightScribe again?

LightScribe is a labeling technology for optical media. In short you burn a CD, flip it over and burn a label.

How does it work?

LightScribe works in that it uses a laser to heat special ink on LightScribe discs. This ink then changes color.

Prime-On LightScribe CDs

So for the first time in 3 years i purchased some non-TDK optical media! Of course TDK won my heart over by being read by my xbox as i modded it. Anyway after searching for optical media in the stores around my house I found that all stores only have the Verbaitim 16x DVD-R with jewel cases. This is of course also very nice media, but it costs 6€ for 5 DVDs… I then did a quick search on billiger.de and found several formats, and colors of LightScribe media. The best selection I found was on shoXX.com, a website making huge strides in terms of Internet contents, by offering you prices rather than prizes!

Anyway, I went with Prime-On CDs and DVDs. there are 2 reasons why i got Prime-On:

1. Cheaper
2. Wider selection of colors

I went with the “green-edition”! I guess because i thought i need to pick something ridiculous But, in all honesty the discs turned out very well. You can look at some examples on the shoXX website.

GIVE ME THE RESULTS!

In short: I’m very pleased. And very reassured after the “meh” quality i got with my “Mac Apps” label. So, here it is: Prime-On “Green Edition” (LightScribe 1.2) CD and “Best” Quality.

I think it looks great! It looks very professional and very clean. It would be good to mention that this was a 2-tone logo to start and thus ideal for LightScribe. But this just proves that LightScribe can do wonders. Unfortunately the label will be smaller than that of a normal CD because LightScribe needs the position, which is the shiny part in the middle which contains data about the CD’s position.

Anyway, to go from this to this is just amazing
