Subjects concerning the CD/DVD-Rewriter
You receive information on the so-called blank discs .
These media, requiring a CD rewriter (burner) to produce CDs are
called CD recordable (CD-R) or CD rewritable (CD-RW).
Recordable/Rewriteable Discs
Normal Discs are pressed from a digital, glass master and then
sealed. In the case of blank disc, the information is burnt onto the
disc with the laser of the Rewriter. Therefore these discs are more
sensitive than normal CDs.
Please avoid the following when using recordable/rewriteable
discs - especially blanks - that have never before been used:
• radiation by direct sunlight (UVA/UVB)
• scratches and damage to the disk surface
• extreme temperatures
LightScribe
Your CD/DVD writer will support the LightScribe technology,
according to the version. You will be able to provide the upper
side of special CD or DVD media with a richly varied label with the
appearance of screen printing, thanks to this new technology. The
advantages demonstrate professional printing quality and simple
handling in this case.
You need specially coated media to make a LightScribe disk. The
corresponding software (Nero Burning ROM) and the installed
CD/DVD writer support the LightScribe technology completely.
