"School me on printable DVDs"


  

          

Is there a difference between thermo DVDs and regular DVDs that can be printed on in terms of quality? What's a good source for buying either kind of dvd? Do the dvds that can be printed on have a generic base color or can they be bought in any color?

Lightscribe is an HP technology that "labels " directly on a Lightscribe DVD. This requires require a Lightscribe drive (usually in HP desktops and notebooks). Basically you burn content on the writable side and on the label side there is a special coating that the laser can burn text and art (monochromatic) directly on the DVD. Burn DVD, flip, meticulously label...

Inkjet Printable DVDs have a inkjet paper label in which you use an inkjet printer ( an Epson..the only machine I have seen that does this out there) to print directly on the DVD label.

Questions, comments?

thermal uses some type of ribbon for the text.

lightscribe uses the actual laser in the drive.
