Verbatim Corp. has shown off the first color-background Lightscribe blank DVDR's to the market, offering a background shade of red, orange, yellow, blue and green to serve as an alternative to the original gold background. The company, which has the widest variety of Lightscribe media available, will begin selling the new discs in packs of 25 in Q4 2007, with 5 discs for each new color.
The richly colored DVDRs are produced using LightScribe Media Version 1.2 coating technology on the label side for enhanced image contrast and faster label printing. With a rainbow of background colors to choose from, consumers and businesses can burn customized LightScribe labels for their videos and multimedia presentations that will give them a more professional look.
According to HP, approximately 50M LightScribe-enabled drives are currently installed and that number is growing at 4 to 5 million per month. By combining Verbatim's LightScribe DVDRs with these drives, consumers can use the same optical disc drive laser to burn content on the data side of the disc and to produce silkscreen-quality black text and graphics labels on the label side of the discs.
