6 reasons why you should not choose LabelFlash or LightScribe
Hardwares Reviews, Reviews, Tricks & Guides No Comments »Label Flash and Light Scribe are both disc labeling technologies that lets you imprint some graphics on a disc. While it may sound cool that you can “burn” images on your disc with your computer, there are drawbacks that certainly make that thought vanish with a blink.
First and foremost, these technologies doesn’t come cheap. It’s the exact opposite, they are very expensive. You have to purchase a Light Scribe or Label Flash compatible blank disc which is 75% more expensive than normal blank disc. Imagine, for buying every 100 Light Scribe or Label Flash compatible blank disc, you can get 175 normal blank disc.
Secondly, you have to buy the Light Scribe or Label Flash compatible optical drive(CD/DVD-ROM) too. Though I don’t know how much they cost now, but it is surely more expensive than normal optical drive. Combined the cost of blank disc and optical drive together, they are really really expensive.
Third, not all software supports these technologies, that’s another reason you have to fork out money to buy the software too. Freeware such as CD BurnerXP does not support both the Label Flash and Light Scribe, but shareware such as Nero supports them both.
Fourth, you have to wait for the images to be “imprint” on the discs. The drive don’t burn and imprint the images at the same time. You have to do one at a time and well, the “imprint” time is not as fast at burning. Light Scribe and Label Flash have to use at least 20 minutes and 7 minutes respectively to finish their imprint.
