Anyone got any experience of this? Looks quite interesting, discs don't seem /too/ expensive and it seems like a nice way around the problem of making some nice tidy demo cds to send out.

Mine can do that or labelflash i think. From what I've heard it can take a while to burn the image to the disk. Toms Hardware had an article about it a while ago, it should still be on there somewhere.

Here it is.

That's really useful - thanks!

I have a LightScribe drive and disks for it. They're not too bad although the label can come out a bit grey unless you use the highest contrast setting. There's also a "contrast adjustment" tool out which gives even better contrast, but labels do then take about half an hour to burn.

You should have a look at the Canon IP range of printers as well. They that can print directly on to printable DVD-Rs and CD-Rs and they can do it in colour as well!

I have the Canon IP4000 and it's brilliant. It takes about 5 minutes to print to a disc using the supplied software (CD-Labelprint), much much quicker than Lightscribe drives. Of course you do need to purchase printable discs, you can't use any old DVD-R or CD-R, but they're not that expensive at ~£30 for a spindle of 100 full-face printable discs (from SVP.co.uk).

'tis good.

Seconded - I have an Epson 200 or something similar that can print straight onto printable CD's. Does them in about 3 minutes or so using Epson's own EpsonCD tool.
SVP sell the latest version of that Epson printer as well, if memory serves.

THIRTY quid¬?!!?"? I'm much cheaper than that (ha ha).

Pfft. Get what you pay for. BulkPaq are shit.

Also have lightscribe and think its ok for disks that you wawanna keep like photo back up's and things. Does take about 30mins to burn a disc though and you do need to hve it on the highest setting forr it to look good.

I'd recomend a Canon IP4300 printer and printable CDs/DVDs, as others have mentioned.

What a fucking tease.

I only delete boring spam trust me. 

Trust you, your a mod. Schyeah.

only in the loosest possible sense, honest!

Loose like a slutty dolphin?

You /wish/.

I don't think fish can be slutty :|

I thought that, but then I remembered seeing them on a programme once, scattering their eggs willy-nilly throughout the seabed. "For safety" apparently, but we know the truth.
