Verbatim adds background color to LightScribe discs

Nothing adds a dash of holiday cheer like a little color to brighten things up, or at least that's the mantra Verbatim is banking on you believing as it "ramps up shipments" of its recently-unveiled LightScribe-compatible CD-Rs. While we figured color would come this way awhile back, we were honestly hoping for actual color etching technology to be a part of LightScribe by now, but we guess a spindle of "red, green, blue, yellow and orange discs" will have to suffice for the time being. Notably, these discs utilize the same ole LightScribe burner you've already got, but adding color silkscreens to your laser drawings certainly won't prove cheap, as these stocking stuffers will run you $19.99 for a 25-pack.

NICE! I've always hated the gold colored lightscribe discs!

Everyone bitches about the cost of Lightscribe discs but really it's not that bad; less that $1 per disc and if you want to burn a CD that you will use over and over I say it's worth it.

I'm happy with the cost/usefulness ratio. My clients love them and always ask for extras.

The only thing i don't like is how long it takes for the disk to complete, but they are worth the money in my mind, no more trying to write on my CD's
