Verbatim has announced that they are going to ship the first Colored Background LightScribe CD-R and CD-RWs. LightScribe is an innovative technology that uses a special disc drive, special media, and label-making software to burn labels directly onto CDs and DVDs. Because the labels are laser-etched?not printed?there’s no ink, no smudging, and no peeling.

Compaq/HP computers are the leading manufacturers currently putting LightScribe technology onto their CD/DVD burners. Separate standalone LightScribe CD/DVD burners are also available.
