lightscribe help

It takes special cds lightscribe?

Yes, it takes Disc's like these...

LightScribe Media, LightScribe DVD, LightScribe Discs, LightScribe DVDs, LightScribe DVD-R, DVD LightScribe, LightScribe DVD Media

just an example of course... you can probably find them a little cheaper.

lightscribe isnt a labelmaker, its an actual laser print of an image.

It cant rub off, it doesnt fade.

Basically the chemical on the cd reacts with the laser and creates the image. Thats why you need special discs, because the laser cant just print alone...it has to react with the chemical that the disc's are coated with....thats why you can only do monochrome, and not colors.

I think he would have figured that out. He obviously is doing this because he bought a lightscribe drive.

I never assume, period.

This is what I use do do my lightscribe projects. First I downloaded the lightscribe system software

Then I installed SureThing CD Labeler Deluxe 5. You're on your own on that one.

Then you just run SureThing, it's very easy to figure out. I figured it out just poking around in it and got some pretty good results if I do say so myself.

I would say uninstall and reinstall the software.
