Why use stickers to label your CDs when you can just print it directly?

Do you buy blank CDs or DVDs and either use a permanent ink to label them or use those annoying stickers just so you could distinguish one CD from the other? Come on, let’s face it, this is how we used to do it and most people are still doing this even until now.  Blank CDs and DVDS can not be distinguished without having a tag or a label and it’s just annoying to see it. Worse, if your sticker is too thick it could jam your CD player or your CD reader! Using permanent ink is preferred by some because you don’t need to worry about this issue with stickers but then it could blot and the words can get unrecognizable and it just looks dirty! For years, we didn’t have many options and we stick with either of these two. Thankfully though there is a much better and more creative option available to us now.  It’s called LightScribe.

LightScribe laser labels lets you print directly from your PC with the labels you want or the designs you want for your CDs or DVDS. It’s so cool and very exciting to use but you can’t just use any ordinary CDs and DVDs for this as you still need to purchase a LightScribe CD or DVD that are available in many online stores and retailers. They’re not expensive anyway and a few extra bucks worth for CDs that eliminates those disgusting ink blots and pesky stick-on labels is definitely worth it.

So, how do you get to enjoy this Lightscribe laser label option? Well, first of all, you’d need to have a LightScribe CD or DVD driver on your PC.  That means you got to throw your old CD or DVD driver away or resell them so you could purchase your very own LightScribe CD or DVD driver.

You’d know it’s a LightScribe driver because it has the LightScribe logo embossed on it though for slim notebooks, these LightScribe drivers does not have the LightScribe logo embossed but rather, a LightScribe sticker is attached to the notebook so you have to check that out.  Usually the LightScribe software is already included in your purchase and you just have to install that and you’d already be ready to use this cool new way of laser labeling your discs!

When you burn files to your CDS or DVDs, you would then later be prompted to LightScribe your disc. When you are prompted, you could either choose to just type in the label or you could copy a design of your choice so your CD or DVD would look more creative.  You could make your own drawing or just use a photo that will then be printed onto your CD or DVD. The LightScribed version of that photo or drawing will then be printed on top of the disc but of course there is no ink being used and the printed version on your LightScribe disc will appear grayscale just like a black and white photo.

If you want to add a bit of color onto your disc, your only option is to purchase colorful LightScribe CDs or DVDs that comes in gold, orange, yellow, green blue and red so instead of mere black and white it’s like gold and white, orange and yellow, and so on but it’s still grayscale but only with a colored background. LightScribe software varies and there are those that are just basic and come available to you once you purchase a LightScribe disc drive.

These software products would already allow you to laser label your LightScribe labels but there are many other software that allows you to be more creative but these are most often being used by professions or artists or people who just want to add more creative juices into their “artwork”. These software can be downloaded online with trial versions from different software providers so you could test run them and see if you’re happy then you could purchase them online. Keep your creative juice flowing and add life to your CDs and DVDs collection.  Throw those stick-ons already! They’ve let you suffered long enough!
