Lightscribe beats a magic marker hands down. The colored background of these disc adds style to my growing library of burned cd's. I use different burners with Lightscribe capability and the HP 1170i does the best job on the label printing, especially using of course HP Disc. I burned through a stack of "Verbatim" and about half of them were coasters. When you pay a premium for Lightscribe, you want a better percentage of good burns than that. The HP Disc also seems to burn and print faster. The cost is the only gripe I have with Lightscribe. I got a deal on these and the were just over .27 cents each when bought in 100s.
The density of the printing comes out best at the highest setting when selecting quality of print. Print time will run anywhere from two to 25 minutes depending on text only at about average of five minutes and up to the average of twenty minutes for printing from a color picture. The secret is to convert a color picture to grey scale first before printing it to Lightscribe, this will cut print time in half.

Recently purchased a new lightscribe drive, and had the need to duplicate 250 promo cd's. Didn't have one CD fail to duplicate or imprint my image. Great product. Gold isn't my favorite color, but they turned out beautifully!

These are the only light-scribe disc's I've worked with and thought it appropriate to review. I've purchased two of these (50 pack)CD spindles in the past and just finished the last CD from my last purchase. I did not keep count of the first purchase but similar results as I recall. Out of the last 50 cd's, I was unable to burn 5 light-scribe images. I get an error message suggesting that I clean the disk, to no avail. 2 addition light-scribe burns resulted in in unrecognizable spiral image. Although I can not conclusively say the issue was caused by my drive or the media itself so I'll keep to the assumption of a 10% defect rate. I am using an HP Pavilion a867c with 16x light-scribe DVD+-RW/CD-RW. I assume the data will burn fine but these are of no value to me without the light-scribe label capability. FYI, my light scribe images take well over 30 minutes to burn each image. All in all, I will continue to purchase these until I find a better solution.

Just a warning to others. The image on this product was just changed from a container showing blue discs to one that shows what e-mediadepot really sells, which is gold discs. I thought I was getting the other colors, but they sent the gold ones. I've contacted them twice and they refuse to reply to me. Don't buy from them.

The discs work well, Lightscribe is cool.
No dead discs at all.
Lightscribe is not super dark but very handy. Be aware that you have to flip te disc over the print directly onto them.
Arrived super fast and in great condition.

Thus far, I have only used a few of the discs but they burned great. Labeling with LightScribe was very easy and the results looked very good. Price was best I found on the Internet.

This was my first experience with lightscribe cds. I found the price to be very reasonable and the quality of the product to be excellent. Next time I might try the colored cds and see how they look. I did these for wedding gifts for my sister and they turned out great!

The CD's were perfect. They did exactly as advertised. I purchased 200 and will probably order 200 more in the near future.

I Really enjoy my lighscribe drive using these CD. I'm waiting for one that produces in color. If you use the avery paper labels on your CD's for desciption,these drives are wonderful because you do not have to worry about the paper label peeling off in your CD player due to the heat it generates. I'm talking specifically about car multi drive CD players.

The HP CD-R 52X are great discs to use, and are very easy to burn a label to. The music I burn on them is clear and no background noise, and the scribe is great. These Discs are great for the price.
