Hewlett-Packard is about to introduce a convenient way to label your recordable discs. Their new LightScribe technology uses the laser of a recordable drive to burn an image to the label side of the disc. All the user needs to do is flip the disc, but the technology also requires a special coating on the label side of the media.
"There are no consumables like ink or ink jet cartridges; the only consumable is the disc itself," says Daryl Anderson, project manager and HP engineer responsible for inventing the technology as part of a joint effort between HP's Imaging and Printing Group and its Personal Systems Group.Source: PCWorld.com
