Color LightScribe Arrives. Well, Almost.Plagued by slowness, expense, unavailability, and limited color options,
LightScribe
is ready to take a first stab at the latter problem.
HP announced "LightScribe Media Version 1.2",
a new form of LightScribe media that offers new background colors
besides the original LightScribe gold color disc.
The new CDs (no news for color DVDs) are expected to ship in 2006.
They will offer the following background colors:
red, orange, yellow, blue and green.
Apparently a driver update may be required before existing LightScribe
software can burn the new Media Version 1.2 discs.
While this is a far cry from what users really
want -- rich, full-color RGB LightScribe labels as
colorful as printed disc labels -- it does breathe a little
excitement into the moribund LightScribe brand,
which has been continually over-promised and under-delivered.
