SW: SureThing CD/DVD Labeler - Professional Label Designer
The label designer features lots of templates and images.
Another program that supports LightScribe is the CD/DVD Labeler by Sure Thing. As its name suggests, this is not burner software. This program allows you to make nearly professional-quality CD stickers and designs by labeling either tags, printable inkjet media or LightScribe discs. The approximately 11 MB trial version has a 15-day limit. The full version costs $25.
Blank Discs For LightScribe
LightScribe blanks are available as DVD-R or CD-R.
LightScribe DVD burners can only imprint the top of specially-coated blank discs. The selection is still very limited, although an increasing number of manufacturers offer LightScribe-compatible CDs and DVDs. The prices range between $0.80 for a 700 MB CD and over $1 for a 4.7 GB single-layer blank DVD, while prices should also continue to fall.
