Customer Review: HP quality and great value
Lightscribe works great, be sure to download the latest drivers from HP so you can enable the lightscribe feature.
Customer Review: Works perfectly - love the personal pressings
This worked right off the bat (if you have ever changed an internal CD/DVD, this will be a breeze for you). It is incredibly nice to have custom artwork printed directly on the CD/DVD. I used to use a CD-Stomper printed label thing, which was OK, but this is so much cleaner and doesnt peel off over time. The cons: 1) 30-mins to make a cover [longer than the data hehe] 2) B&W - no color 3) You need to physically remove the disc after the data and turn it over to do the cover. Hopefully in future models they can do more with this, and fix at least 2 of the 3 issues mentioned.
