Verbatim Announces Colour background LightScribe CDs

Verbatim Corporation, the industry leader in offering the widest range of premium-quality LightScribe media, today announced the immediate availability of its new Colour-background LightScribe CD-R media in Australia and New Zealand. Sold in a 25 pack spindle, each package contains five vibrantly coloured red, green, blue, yellow and orange discs.

The richly coloured CDs were made possible by the new LightScribe Media Version 1.2 coating technology which enables enhanced image contrast.

Verbatim’s Color-background LightScribe CDs were specifically designed for LightScribe-compatible drives and software licensed by Hewlett-Packard Company (HP). With more than 20 million LightScribe-enabled drives shipped to date, drives with the direct disc labeling technology account for more than 10 percent of all CD/DVD burners manufactured on a monthly basis¹.

By combining Verbatim’s new Color-background LightScribe CDs with these drives, consumers can use the same optical disc drive laser to burn content on the data side of the disc and to produce silkscreen-quality black text and graphics labels on the label side of the discs. In addition to making the recorded discs more memorable, the color-background media make it easier to organize a collection. For example, music enthusiasts can select blue for jazz, green for rock, red for pop, orange for classical and yellow for blues.

Color-background LightScribe CD-R discs are label-compatible with all LightScribe-enabled drives. For optimized labeling, Verbatim recommends that users always upgrade their LightScribe system software to the latest version. Software and label gallery downloads are available at www.lightscribe.com.

To ensure broad playback support, Verbatim’s complete family of LightScribe media is compatible with all current CD-R, DVD-R and DVD+R standards.
