6 reasons why you should not choose LabelFlash or LightScribe

Label-Flash, and the office of the light are both disc labeling technology that you can print graphics on a disc. Although it may seem cool can "burn" images on your hard disk to the computer, there are also disadvantages that make the idea certainly disappear with a blink of the eye.

First, these technologies are not cheap. Quite the contrary, it is very expensive. You need some kind of light or a compatible Flash tag blank purchase is 75% more expensive than standard discs. Imagine, for the purchase of 100 LightScribe label compatible Flash Disk, you can 175 standard blank.

Second, you have to purchase the branch manager of the light flash or a label with the optical drive (CD / DVD-ROM) as well. Although I do not know how much they cost now, but it is certainly more expensive than a normal optical drive. combined cost of blank and the optical drive a whole, are actually very expensive.

Third, the software does not support all these technologies, which is another reason to fork has money to buy the software. Freeware, such as CD Label BurnerXP not support Flash and Light Scribe, but as shareware Nero supports.

Fourth, you need to wait for the pictures to "footprint" on the disks. The unit does not burn and print the pictures at the same time. You need to one at a time and do well, "time is not as fast. LightScribe and LabelFlash burn at least 20 minutes and 7, each for use at the end of their brand.

Fifthly, the images are printed on the disc, not colored like a rainbow. Heck, you can even print a color. You may admire the drive with the design, instead of color. And when the disc into your computer is very unlikely that you see in the design.

Finally you have the disc to excessive heat, moisture and direct sunlight and high humidity. As if that was not enough, make sure your hand is to be very clean and free of grease, to prevent coloring of the image. This applies only to a Light Scribe drive.

The following table summarizes the disadvantages of using Flash tag and the branch manager of light:

1st Blank expensive to be or because they Light Scribe Label Flash compatible (about 75% more expensive compared to normal blank required)
2nd More expensive or label LightScribe optical drive, flash
3rd You have to buy special software supports the Flash or Light Scribe Label
4th Feature image print "" time (7 minutes and 20 minutes Labelflash Light Scribe)
5th Mono-color images
6th Be careful if the disks (Light Scribe)

My conclusion is if you have to lose money, waiting time and have an artistic taste, why not flash with the day at the office. For others, a little better with their money and time, a normal blank to do is usually the better choice. In my opinion, this CD is only used to store files, not an ornament .
