HP Lightscribe (Version 1.2) 16X DVD-R Media 50 Pack in Cake Box

LightScribe Media Version 1.2 (MV 1.2) is the next performance step in LightScribe media, resulting from improvements in the LightScribe coating chemistry. Like the original LightScribe media, MV 1.2 will scribe in black on a gold background. Label times will be faster, contrast options will be greater, and will be backwards compatible with existing optical drives.

In response to customer requests, MV 1.2 gives LightScribe customers have more control over their LightScribe imaging experience, by allowing them to trade off imaging-time against image contrast.

The difference between the CD and DVD images in Media Version 1.2 is less apparent than with the original LightScribe media. The archival/shelf life of MV1.2 is expected to be comparable to the original media.

Media Version 1.2 is compatible with all existing LightScribe hardware. A simple software update -through a download of new System Software (driver) file - is all that is required for optimal labeling with MV 1.2.

• Faster labeling. Customers who are happy with the contrast "darkness" of the original LightScribe media will be able to achieve the same result with MV1.2, at speeds up to 1/3 less time than the original media (actual speed improvement will vary depending upon the various LightScribe hardware drives model). This contrast level was achieved in "Best" mode in the January media release, and is now achieved by labeling in "Normal" mode for MV 1.2 media.
