Lightscribe anyone try it? Is it worth it?

[Epoman]

Has anybody used this yet? Is it any good?

Lightscribe

I was thinking of getting that NEC that's on slickdeals right now for $43 shipped but I kinda like the lightscribe feature.

i have a friend who got it and loves it.

gives him the edge in selling dvds to random people.

Advanced Search "lightscribe" or "light scribe" in General Hardware for a few threads, they may be in Archived threads by now.

I would say no. I've seen the end product and it looks like sh*t.
All you get is black images on a gold background.
It only scribes in one color (black)
Plus i heard it's really slow.

I would use the money for an epson r320 printer that prints photo quality pictures directly on the disc

Pics?

I was thinking about getting one until I head how freakin slow it was. Plus the thought of having to buy special CDs and DVD discs really turned me off.

yeah I did, but I noticed that alot of regular ATOT'ers don't browse the other forums and I wanted the "offtopic" people opinions.

Thanks anyway.

No way I'm paying extra for the special lightscribe CD's which are needed.

Got one...they are over rated. It's nice to not hvae to dicker with the epson 300R for disk printing but the quality is bad and plain.

The Epson R200 is only $99, but the ink costs will get you down the road.
