SharkCopier LightScribe Spec Sheet

In a collaborative effort between Vinpower Digital and LightScribe, the new SharkCopier LS model is the Industry's First Complete LightScribe Standalone DVD and CD Publishing System. LightScribe was invented by Hewlett Packard (HP) as a laser labeling technology to burn images onto compatible optical discs through licensed drives. The new SharkCopier LS models offer an array of improved features, most notably the ability to inscribe text or full graphic labels directly onto CDs and DVDs without being connected to a computer. The SharkCopier LS is the most productive, reliable, and cost effective LightScribe publishing system on the market.

Important Notice

  • The LightScribe software is only compatible with a PC and not recognized on an Apple computer.
  • Optional firewire/usb add-on is limited to certain targets of duplicator only. When adding multiple Firewire and/or USB devices to the duplicator, they may be connected to a computer via a single port unless otherwise requested.
  • The duplicator will not copy any copy-protected discs.
  • The actual maximum writing speed may vary. Blank media writing speed is determined by the drives, regardless of what the media manufacturer certifies the blank media writing speed at.
