Lightscribe Recommendation

[Arkadiy]

I want to get a LightScribe DVD burner that supports every media type available.

 

I already found disks, a bit pricey but....The discs

 

Anyone recommend a burner? So far found this one:

Hehe. Lightscribe burner selection is going to be kinda slim, I believe it's only in HP drives -- in which case, that's a pretty good price considering some of the ones I've seen

i got a Lightscribe DVD burner from I/O Magic =) good pricing too... got it on sale at Black Friday...

they're all pretty lousy drives for what they're worth. I suggest getting a better DVD burner for the price, and going with "printable" blanks like my wife uses. printer's for em are down to $60 and they double as pretty decent photo printers.

 

 

and blanks are generally a few cents more than regular disks... unlike those HP crud balls.

 

 

BTW HP drives and i don't get along never have and probably will never be nice to each other.

I've got a BenQ that I bought for around $70CAD from ncix.com, works great.

I read some bad reviews on the BenQ one, how long have you had it? Do all the features still work?

 

What about the I/O Magic one, how long have you had it? Has anything on it died?

am i the only one here who doesn't know what lightscribe is?

 

EDIT: okay...googled it...but what's the point of it lol....it's not worth it. =P

I make a lot of DVD/CDs and I like to be able to label them without going through the sticker process (don't have a color printer, black and white laser <_<)

just go look up this product

 

 

ESPSON R200 PHOTO STYLUS. it has the neat little tray that you actually run the CD / DVD thru. works perfectly.

Seems to me like it takes up way to much ink and I don't think the quality would be as good as LightScribe since LS is a laser compared to the printer.....

LMAO. lets take a vote here on which looks better? like I said I have seen the R200's results (500+ disks per set of cartridges in COLOR). it matches what ever you throw at it... exactly like the picture on your monitor. you're printing on top of a white matte finish disk that is just like running matte finish photo paper thru a photo printer... wonder how that turns out?

 

or you can have this? wow, let me pickup my jaw... from how lousy that is.

Ok so it does look good, but would the laser not make same results then?
