CRIBE LABELS
1.
Launch the LightScribe labeling software, select Lightscribe as labeling option.
2.
Create your label design.
You can choose to create a label with text and/or graphics, and you can
choose the area of the disc in which your label will be inscribed — from a
simple band of text (“title only”) to a complete design that covers the
entire disc (“full label”).
Experiment with text, fonts, ready-made backgrounds, your own photos
and other graphics to design the label that best suits your style. (For ideas
and advice, visit www.lightscribe.com/labeltips)
3.
When your design is ready, insert a blank LightScribe disc into the drive label
side down.
4.
Select the Preview option to see how your design will look as a LightScribe label.
Previewing your design lets you determine whether the design elements are
placed where you want them, and it shows you what the grayscale design will
look like on disc.
5.
Select the Print option to send the label design to disc.
When you print your design to disc, you can choose from three quality modes:
draft, normal, or best. “Draft” is the fastest printing mode, and the resulting
design provides a lower level of contrast; “best” provides the highest contrast and
darkest design areas, and the burning process takes longer. The following table
shows a rough estimation of the expected print times.
