LightScribe Competitor


Watch out LightScribe, here comes new LabelFlash technology. The two shortcomings of LightScribe are cost, and slow speed. Well, LabelFlash can burn the label in a more reasonable 5 minutes. If the price is right, this will sell. Also, the color contrast is much better than with LightScribe.

Yamaha expanded their T@2 technology to a new LabelFlash technology which allows labelling your discs with your burner"s laser within 5 minutes. On the back of their reflection layer, LabelFlash discs have a coloured area that's used by the burner for labelling the disc. Since the colour is on the back of the reflection layer, it is protected by a 0.6 mm polycarbonate disc. Disc prices are expected to be about 20% higher than for current discs. CD-R with this technique are not planned at the moment. The first burners supporting this technology will be the half height drive ND3551A and ND4551A and the slimline drive ND7551A from NEC
