About Lightscribe

What LightScribe is

LightScribe is an innovative technology that uses a special disc drive, special media, and label-making software to burn labels directly onto CDs and DVDs.

Because the labels are laser-etched-not printed-there's no ink, no smudging, and no peeling.

Your labels can be whatever you want them to be. Create one-of-a-kind designs with your own photos, text, and artwork or choose from the many free backgrounds provided using the special edition Template Labeler software included with every LightScribe capable duplicator. You may also visit LightScribe's Template Label Gallery, or the Label Gallery for free downloadable designs.

How Lightscribe Works:

  1. Burn the image label you created from the saved file on your computer onto a CD. (Please note that the LightScribe software is only compatible with a PC and not recognized on an Apple computer)
  2. Place that CD into the reader drive of the SharkCopier LS duplicator.
  3. Load LightScribe capable discs with the label side down in all of the writer drives.
  4. Using the menu on the duplicator's LCD, choose and execute the "Print" function.
  5. Burn your LightScribe label directly onto the discs in all the writer drives at the same time.
  6. Remember, the same drive that burns your label burns your data, too.

Benefits Of Lightscribe Duplicator:

The SharkCopier LS allows the user to both copy data, audio or video files onto the data side of recordable CD's or DVD's, but also can print directly onto the label side of LightScribe capable CD's and DVD's. This is all done in a single standalone manual tower duplicator where all the drives will print or duplicate simultaneously for a faster superior end product. All of this is done without the need to connect to a PC, refill ink cartridges/thermal ribbon, or a masters degree in mechanical engineering. The SharkCopier LS is so easy to use and offers such exceptional print and duplication quality, that anyone can use one!
