I have never used Lightscribe, but I think that it requires a special coating on the disc. Taiyo Yuden has such a disc type, usually slightly more expensive.

Also firmware Rev A for the one I purchased. Lightscribe.com no longer has the downloads for Lightscribe system software, Lightscribe Simple Labeller and Lightscribe Template Labeller, however Pawtec.com has still has them all for download on their site at http://www.pawtec.com/lightscribe/

You can burn both CDs and DVDs. If you want to use Lightscribe to create your own design on the top face, you will need to use a special CD or DVD that allows it. But if you don't, then there is no limitation in what types of CDs and DVDs you can use.

I am not sure, however HP started the technology but does not support it any longer. LG still manufacture drives with lightscribe although the technology is not very popular.

Yes it is, but the price is quite high. I only paid $50.00 from mine from Southfield computer. They have a brick and motor store in Mich, give them a call and see if they have any left.. The machine was built over 5 years ago but was NIB. Another consideration is that Lightscribe prints only in gray color. I get CD/DVD labels from Avery and print in multiple colors and put the label on the disk it plays quite well.

I have never used the Lightscibe feature, but my recollection is that Lightscribe is part of the software that comes with the drive. Of course, you have to have Lightscribe enabled DVDs to use this feature.

The other response to this question could be correct - my experience with Lightscribe software has produced marginal image quality, not saying that the technology hasn't improved, but for the time (typically 10-20 minutes per disk) and effort (not to mention early retirement of the laser) there are inkjet printers that do a better job printing color onto DVD's with white sided media. If your heart is set on Lightscribe, ask the other respondent (who said it doesn't work) if they were aware that the disk has to be flipped over so that the laser (on the bottom of the drive) can burn the artwork on the "top" emulsion side of the disk. Good luck!

Yes. However, there exist two models of this DVD RW. When you purchase this model, select correct model - Double Layered RW which only allows you to use LightScribe.For other questions? feel free to ask. Even though I am not a seller, I will be able to answer a lot because I am a computer science research person.

From what I can tell, mine doesn't have a lightscribe logo nor have I tried to lightscribe anything with it. I can only assume its a stock photo of a similar driver.

I don't think it does. There is no mention of lightscribe in the installation/operation manual. Hope that this information will help you.

Lightscribe is just an image printing onto the disc - you need to use lightscribe enabled disc to do the image - try going to www.lightscribe.com to get a better idea of what lightscribe means - this unit does burn both CD and DVD media -

This comes with lightscribe capability. You have to go to lightscribe.com and download the software and designs you want. It is free. Hope this helps.

I am using Windows 7 OS and the optical drive was recognised when inserted into the USB port. As for Lightscribing, I have copy of Nero 9 software from purchase of my previous Lightscribe drive which is able to work with the new Pawtec.

You can buy external or internal lightscribes on Amazon. Good luck. I love mine. I make my own mixed CD s and design labels for them.
