LightScribe is a direct
disc labeling technology that
burns text and graphics onto the surface of a
CD or
DVD using the disc
drive's laser and a specially coated LightScribe disc. A LightScribe disc drive
burns data and creates labels using the same device. LightScribe's specially
coated discs chemically change when a laser strikes the label side, producing
titles and
graphics created using LightScribe
software.
LightScribe is a registered trademark of the
Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. LightScribe was conceived by an HP
engineer in Corvallis, Oregon, and brought to market through the joint design
efforts of HP's imaging and optical storage divisions. [Source
