Don’t know if that will cure your problem. There is a labeler version that was the last one released you don’t have installed which is 1.18.27.10. I still have a LightScribe enabled drive but don’t have it installed nor use it anymore as I stopped making CD’s. I used a program called SureThing Disc Labeler that came installed on the system I had at that time. Of course there was no color but they looked better than writing with a marker and it was fun. I used to use LightScribe to create music CD’s using a picture of the commercial CD cover that I would download from places like. I prefer Epson printers over any other printer brand. I’m happy to hear that.īeing a factory trained Epson printer tech, I’m very glad that Epson still makes a printer that will print directly ON a CD/DVD. I think it was mentioned that Lightscribe is yesterdays technology and is on its way OUT. I use the pure white surfaced disks, for the best color and professional look. One is a silvery looking surface that looks RICH, but does not give the highest contrast or produce the sharpest colors. There are two surfaces for Ink Jet Printable disks. When I’m sending disks all over the world, I want them to look as professional as possible, and a nice Ink Jet printed label is the only way to go. I’m now on my second Epson disk printing, Ink Jet, Printer and I’ve probably printed 500 or more disks, both CD and DVD. Then I bought my first Epson printer with CD printing capability, and 100 printable Verbatim disks. I used those paper labels for several years and hundreds of CD’s, and I never had a label come off. Centering was perfect and the adhesive backed labels would stay stuck to the CD’s if they were smoothed down securely after that initial STOMP. Is this still the case? What do people use when they want labels on CD/DVDs that are legible and somewhat professional looking? Is it only Epson that has disk printing capabilities? Thanks.Īfter seeing a disk printed with Lightscribe, I quickly made up my mind I didn’t want any part of it.įor years before Lightscribe ever showed up on the scene, I used labels printed in my Color Inkjet printer and applied them to the Cd’s using the “CD Stomper” which was available in many stores. I remember that the paper labels that got stuck on CD/DVDs had a reputation for getting attached off center and then messing up the DVD drive by being unbalanced. Maybe I need to revisit the printed paper labels. I went searching to locate/update stuff and found out that Lightscribe has been jettisoned by HP and just about everybody else as of Sept 2014. I’m thinking there is some incompatibility between the Lightscribe burner and the Cyberlink software. The next copy was missing about 50% of the label – that is the worst it has ever done. And, more often than not, parts of the label image are not burned. When I check, nothing comes back and I end up printing at what I am told is less than the best resolution. However, the software always asks to check for updates as my version will not provide the best image. I ended up using Cyberlink Labelprint2 v 2.5.306. Any thoughts on the use of printed paper labels on CD/DVDs? I have a Lightscribe drive but the HP Lightscribe software (Lightscribe Template Labeler v 1.18.26.7) is not very adaptable – you have to use their templates and they are very limiting.
