How do I use LightScribe to label a disc?

Lightscribe media APR media: Lightscribe CDR, Lightscribe dv...
To burn a LightScribe label, simply follow your software’s onscreen instructions. If you’re using a data-burning application that’s LightScribe-enabled, the application will ask if you want to burn a label. Then it will gather content to pre-populate a suggested label design and present the design onscreen. You have the option of selecting that label or making changes.

Can I use my computer for other things while the LightScribe label is burning?

Lightscribe media APR media: Lightscribe CDR, Lightscribe dv...
Yes. The labeling runs in the background, so your computer can be used for other tasks while the process is underway.

Is the LightScribe disc hot or dangerous to handle immediately after the label is burned?

Lightscribe media APR media: Lightscribe CDR, Lightscribe dv...
No. Although the terms “burning data” and “burning labels” are standard in the industry, there is no appreciable temperature change involved in either process. A CD or DVD is safe to touch immediately upon being ejected from the drive. To get the best labeling quality and speed, LightScribe recommends that you use the latest software. Your labeling application will prompt you to update to the latest version of the LightScribe software.

Can I rewrite or erase a LightScribe label?

Lightscribe media APR media: Lightscribe CDR, Lightscribe dv...
No. Current LightScribe technology is not erasable. Once the image is burned, it’s permanent. But software applications with LightScribe capabilities are designed to preview the image onscreen before it is burned—you can accept or make changes to that image before moving forward, so unplanned or undesired images will not be sent to the disc for burning.

What about the disc label?

Since the printing on the compact disc is done using a silk screen process, it should be created using spot colors from the Pantone color library rather than four-color process used in standard offset printing. For an additional cost, you can of course create four-color CMYK artwork. Three colors are included with your CD pricing, but more may be used at additional cost. Screened images such as photos should have a tonal range of 20% for the highlights and 80% for the shadows.

Can I leave my computer unattended while the LightScribe label is burning?

The LightScribe system recognizes whether or not the disc is label-side down, and it will not try to write a label to the data side, nor will it attempt to burn data to the label side. If the wrong side is presented for either data burning or label burning, your disc will be ejected and a software message will be displayed. Yes. The data side will work.
