Anyone have a LightScribe DVD Burner ?

[geckojohn]

that's pretty cool... now i need to get a new dvd burner

I think the jury is still in on this. Sure it's cool looking and we all want the newest technology, but if we just wait a while it will be quicker and less expensive or it will have just died out all together.

id be interested to see how well the epson prints (photo or scanned image would be nice).... i have been interested in lightscribe but it seems its taking too long to come out to decent pricing.

Right now the blank LS CD-Rs are about a buck each. Knowing what HP charged for their consumer inkjet printer carts, I have my reservations about this whole LightScribe thing, although I love the idea from a technical perspective. We need Ritek and ProDisc to come out with some: 1) el-cheapo but decent media, that 2) burns on the label side faster than these first-gen ones do. Then I might consider it.

2x lightscribe is on the way and media will be media, i.e. expensive and unavailable for an inordinately long time when they're new

Nise but I'll wait for color.

Probably not possible considering that a laser etches the image in the same way the disc is written.

You could have little packets of three colors in opaque cells that are turned clear by the laser.
