I'm considering a DVD burner and was wondering if anyone has experience with Lightscribe (www.lightscribe.com) enabled burners? If you're not familiar with it, the burners use special coated disks and can burn detailed labels directly to the top side of the disk.

Any thoughts?
 
The media costs quite a bit more than standard CD/DVD-Rs.

You are limited to a monochrome image with limited contrast.

The burn times are excessive 20-30 min.


Cool idea, but not quite ready for prime time.

I am definitely looking at getting one of these in the future. I would not get it simply to burn music cds and such... but it could be awesome for freelance stuff. Great way to enhance a digital portfolio as a designer, and a slick, easy way to produce a nifty photo cd for my photo customers.

FWIW since there is no cost premium associated with getting a lightscribe burner there's no real reason not to pick one up over a standard burner.

They can be fun if nothing else.

Still I'll take the printable disks and compatable inkjet every time.
