Burning an image or lettering onto the surface of a regular "blank" is a good way to avoid fiddling with covers or stickers. In order to use this convenient function, you must have: a burner with LightScribe function (they cost a little more than usual ones), a "blank" coated with a LightScribe layer (costs the same as a regular one) and an installed program designed for work with this technology.
Necessary
LightScribe disc drive; A “blank” covered with a LightScribe layer; software designed to work with LightScribe technology
Instructions
Step 1
The most convenient in the list of such programs is the program for burning discs Nero. In all versions of this program, starting with the sixth, there is a function LabelFlash, with which you can apply images to disk. When you start, you will see a layout on which you need to overlay the image or inscription you need. After placing the image, select the print quality. High takes the most time, keep this in mind by clicking "Ok".
Step 2
If you don't have Nero, you can use others, for example Droppix. Before using it, you need to download LightScribe and you can get started. First, use any editor to remove the color from the photo you need and save the photo. Then open it through Droppix (File - open) and resize it to fit the size of the disk. Keep in mind that there will be a hole in the center, so place the image accordingly.
Step 3
The program allows you to preview and select the level of print brightness. It is better to choose a darker option - so the picture will be clearer and sharper. After you have finished - press "Burn". Now select the burner drive (if you have more than one) and the program will start painting the image. Among other things - remember that the "blank" must be inserted upside down, that is, with the working surface up.
