Anyone had experience of these...?

With the printers - how good are they & how long does the print last on the disk? Can it be wiped off with sticky fingers????

Anyone using Lightscribe disks - and what're they like?

TIA

Hi Nick

I use Verbatim printable CDs and DVDs in my Epson R1800.

Print quality is good. Ink is dry almost straight away but it is best to leave the disc alone for a while to dry completely.

I haven't used the Lightscribe discs yet. I was put off by the time needed to burn the disc, I got the impression it took quite a long time but the results look good (single colour process though obviously.....)

cheers

Send me Pick/text and I will cut one for you.

I use Lightscribe with nice monochromatic results. But if time is of the essence look elsewhere. It can easily take 15 minutes to burn a label onto a disk.
