Disc Writers Now Print the Label Too

gardolas writes "Rippers and burners with an eye for design have a new way to smarten their image. Disc writers that can print images onto the label sides of the discs will hit the market next month. The LightScribe system has been developed by Verbatim and HP."

That's a good idea

At last the goatse guy can make an album! I've been waiting for so long. And hell, the hold is already built into the disc!

I'll never hold a CD the same way again..

word choice?

[brewman123]

This means that rather than have to write the contents onto the media by hand, use a separate specialist

(word choice?) disc printer, or sticky label, users can achieve silk-screen quality images using LightScribe-enabled Verbatim CD/DVD discs with the optical drive's laser pickup.

apparently a bad word choice for "word choice?"

Want something even worse? Consider what a CD looks like when it's stored in an ordinary (single-CD) case. The part in the centre looks like a puckered... umm... and you have to stick your finger in it to get the CD out.

I'm listening to nothing but MP3s from now on.

I won't buy one till they can print in stereoscopic 3D and holograms.

I think you and the grandparent poster have just revived the tape back up industry.

Re:Dupe/Tripe League Table!

[Ohreally_factor]

It would be interesting to see this information compared to total articles posted by an editor to come up with a batting average.

Then we could start a fantasy slashdot league, pitting teams of editors against each other. =)

[Preferred Customer]

So I'm thinkin' of makin' a font called "Sharpie" for those who want to do things the long way round.
