Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Verbatim 94934 700 MB 52x LightScribe Gold Recordable Discs CD-R, 30-Disc SpindleCustomer Review: Faint Praise Summary: 3 Stars
This would be a wonderful product, except the printing is so faint, at first when you look at a labelled disc, you think you are seeing a blank disk. This is on the burning choice marked "best." I found virtually no difference between choosing "normal" or "best." I did not try "draft."
The idea is great; it is not particularly well executed. Perhaps if there was a greater contrast between the background and the label burned, it would be easier to see.
I used a BenQ 1625 CD/DVD Rewriter with Lightscribe and the burner is great. The label would be wonderful too, if it only were more visible.
I used Nero's latest Lightscribe software and found it difficult and cumbersome to use. One must be willing to spend some time experimenting with this software to make it work and one must expect a fair amount of frustration for what should be a simple task. Nero could have included tool instructions, which are missing and are much needed.
I think this is a great improvement on Sharpies for marking CD/DVD's, but perhaps future generations will improve it.
Generally, it is slow. It took me a little more than 20 minutes to burn the label which consisted only of the Music Artist and the Title of the Album, five words in all. I do not object to the slowness, only that the contrast between label and background is hard to discern. You wait for a product that ultimately disappoints.
I do not object to paying between 57 cents (in quantity) to 80 cents a disc for the Lightscribe media for special albums.
I look forward to improvements in Lightscribe. It is truly a revolutionary idea. It feels as if it were rushed to market a little ahead of its time.
When it is perfected, and I think that will not take much tinkering, everyone who burns will want to have one. Right now it is for early adopters only. However, the burner is fine and improvements in the software and blank media could come at anytime, so you may need nothing more than updated software and a new set of Lightscribe blanks.
