Lightscribe , Direct Disc Labelling

The lightscribe technology uses the optical drive's existing to deliver precisley controlled light energy to the disc through an inovative circular writing system.Where the energy focuses on the disc, a visible chemical change occurs in the dye coating. The result is a high resolution reproduction of artwork, text or photos.
Lightscribe needs speacial lightscribe enabled DVD / CD drives of wich several are available. I have managed to buy PHILIPS LS16 from PCWORLD.
The dye coated media is also available from PCWORLD i am using VERBATUM CD 16x
Please keep in mind lightscribe is High resolution Greyscale therefore for best results use photoshop and spit channel , then convert to greyscale i prefer blue channel.
Software my philips drive came with nerooem 6 , which is good but takes a while to get use to.
