SureThing Labeling
 

Designing and burning with SureThing Labeler:


For our LightScribe Direct Disc Labeling we used SureThing CD/DVD Labeler LightScribe SE PLUS Edition.

We used an included Sure Thing background and some custom text along with a couple images. After we were satisfied with the setup we pressed 'Print Label' (LightScribe).

In the print option dialog we also find a Diagnostics button and we clicked it to see what info it provided.

We closed the LightScribe Diagnostics windows and selected 'Best quality' and 'OK' to print the label in the Print Dialog window.

The program gave us a notice 'Please ensure that you have a LightScribe disc inserted in the drive with the label side down". (As you can see you can choose - Don't show me this message in the future." We went on with 'OK' to print the label.

SureThing showed us an estimated remaining time of 28 minutes and 49 seconds for best quality.

For brevity I will show you the LightScribe CD-R disc in Best quality.

LightScribe CD-R

The procedure for LightScribe with DVD+R is the same as for CD-R so I will just show the result here.

LightScribe DVD+R

Done with 'Best Quality'. The coatings appear to have improved on the DVD+R discs as the clarity is much closer to the CD-R media. In the past the DVD media produced a fuzziness or bluriness that wasn't present in the CD media. You can still see the CD media is clearer though. The LG GSA-4166b performed the LightScribe Direct Disc Labeling with no problem.

This concludes our LG GSA-4166B review, lets head on to the last page to read our conclusion…

Unfortunately, no mention that it is a different chipset from normal LG drives.
Thank-you for a wonderfully detailed review. I bought one of these drives before reading this article and can tell you that your evaluation was right on the money!

It's a rare pleasure to find such a well written review.
