Conclusion:
Are you getting
bored of the current LightScribe media with the Gold/Sepia labeling surface?
Then these new coloured lightsribe discs would certaintly be something for
you.
With five different colours there should be something for every occasion and purpose.
We would recommend using the HP ELCU - Extended Label Contrast Utility in Best mode while writing the LightScribe Color media, as the contrast tends to be better this way on the coloured surface.
In closing this article, we would like to ask an interesting unanswered question. Will we ever see a LightScribe media available in full (multi)colour?
How is the pricing and availability for these new Coloured LightScribe media? We will give you examples from Germany:
- 10 pcs Philips CD-R LightScribe v1.2 color mix pack - around 7 EUR
- 25 pcs Primeon CD-R LightScribe v1.2 color mix spindle - around 12 EUR

Verbatim has released this product in CD-R form already in the USA and Canada... but DVD+R and DVD-R have yet to be released. I think companies are waiting to see if it takes off or not.
Personally, I welcome the change of background colours, even though I don't think it's a massively big deal, the price difference is fairly small, and it breaks the monotony.

I'd rather use glossy printables with the watershield protection. It takes 2 minutes to print in FULL color.
Printers and ink are dirt cheap. The latest Canon iP4300 is $70 and the carts can be refilled for $1 per cart.
Eventually Lightscribe will surpass inkjet printables....I hope.

Hardgiant, where you filling ink from? I threwout my last inkjet printer in favor of B&W laser and I have never been happier, toner is cheap!
For this reason I love lightscribe even with its limitations, FYI there is a download on www.lightscribe.com which increases the contract of lightscribe burners, it works too.

Misleading item title. I thought it meant full color Lightscribe not just Lightscribe with different colors.

Please make them for dvd-r or dvd+rw! Please pretty please! And then make them cheap-and give them to me!

Till real full color lightscribe arrives is better to stick with gold ones, or better use the printer, the rest look awfull.
I don't mean that to stop using the printer when its arrives. We will have to check the quality and see how usefull it can be...

It cant be called a colour lightscribe....coz the printing colour is still monochrome ie grayscale....yes the background colours are different....

Have been using Lightscribe discs for about a year now, can't see much advantage in just a color background. Am waiting for full color to come out before I change.
