5.0 out of 5 stars Exceptional Disc, November 30, 2009

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.
