If you can't get them here, try Amazon or Rab at Lambousa

If you mean the CD/DVD labelling stuff then you can download free (pirated) from isohunt.com, et al.

Just to let you know - if you ever need to use them - that I found blank Lightscribe CD's/DVD's in Girne today. They are for sale at "ComAks" (Computer and Accessories Center), left hand, main road towards the big roundabout (next to Mr. Pound). The prices are 2 TL and 3 TL respectively. A good shop, where the staff helps you very friendly! Tel.: 0392 815 0200 and 0392 815 3600. Email: comaksbilgisayar@gmail.com .

I tries lightscribe CD's a couple of years ago and have to say I was very disapointed with the results. The contrast of the burnt image was terrible and it was near impossibe to to read anything imaged onto the disk. I went back to using a permanent felt tip pen as before. Have things improved since then ?



What is the contrast like Hans? Does it look like a printed black text or a washed out slightly darker grey than the rest of the disk that was my previous experience ?

RE msg 7, erolz: I use a LaCie Super Writemaster CD/DVD writer - it can write/read double layer CD/DVD's) and write Lightscribe CD/DVD's. The software is Lightscribe labeler version 1.2.2 (for Mac; I don't know the version for PC). The result, I think, is amazing. There are shades of grey (if you want to) or hard black - all determined in your design. Even the jpg's are very good especially when you use 600dpi. On coloured fronts of CD/DV's (green, red, grey) it's possible to create special effects. There's one con: it takes 20 minutes to burn a Lightscribe CD/DVD, even on my fast LaCie writer (for Mac and PC).

RE msg 9, cyprusairsoft: (...) take it you didnt want my offer then dutchy (...)

=> I apologise, cyprusairsoft, I should have given you a reaction on your kind offer. I just plain forgot. At the time of this thread a Dutch friend planned to visit us in TRNC and he promised to bring me a whole bunch of CD/DVD's. Again: sorry!

P.S. Are they still on offer? I have begun to like to use the Lightscribe CD/DVD's!
