Ok, I just got my dvd writer and the software included was nero 7 essentials and I burned a disc and afterwards i flipped it over to lightscribe an image that i had. However when i clicked on the print lightscribe button it pops up with the window giving me an option to print it so i printed it using the best quaility and after clicked print a box came up saying preparing the cd for printing and it went through then it said 100 percent printed and spit my cd out but nothing was printing. Now does anyone know what im doing wrong why wont it print ive updated all my drivers too.
You need to use special CDs that are ment for lightscribing, any old CD just won't do. They need to have the lightscribing logo on it. Be sure to use the Verbatim lightscribe discs!
i am using lightscribe cd's im using memorex though but it is for sure lightscribe cd's i got it to work once but i canceled it while it was burning so if you look at my disk it show some of the image printed on it.
Hi joelw7 I have had exactly the same problem but managed to get it right. Firstly what version of Nero 8 are you using? I had problems until I updated to version 8.1.1.4. then that problem you are having went away. Why I don't know, but I did a clean uninstall using Nero's General Clean Tool from their website and then loaded 8.1.1.4. Was this only happening when you tried to print an image? I found that if I did a label using text only there was no problem, but as soon as used an image stretched over the whole disc then the problem came. 8.1.1.4 has sorted this out as well. Another option which I can really recommend is download Lightscribes Template Labeller from their website. http://www.lightscribe.com/downloadSection/windows/index.aspx?id=1524 It is free from the Lightscibe website and is so user friendly I am not using Nero for my labels anymore. This really is a nice bit of software and is a good stand by if you cannot get Nero to work. The program allows full image print onto the disc. Hope you come right.
Thanks for the response and since then i actually got it to work but the copy came out real light and I was wondering is there any way i could get it to darken up with nero or any other program im up to anything at this point. again thanks in advance.
Are you using version 1.10.23.1 of the Lightscribe software? You should be getting the option to select 1 of 3 print qualities before you actually print. I alaways use "Best" - takes awhile but it is worth it. Please give the Template Labeler a try as I recommended - you will not be sorry. Here you can also select the print quality. Good luck
yeah i found out if i go to http://www.lightscribe.com/DownloadSection/windows/index.aspx and install the last lightscribe system software there is a place you can do extended lable contrast and darken it does that sound right to you?
now are you able to print the lable in that program or does that just adjust the contrast for any program you use for printing the label or is there anything on the web that could give me a tutorial on it so that i can understand how that works.
It just adjusts the contrast to make all your labels darker. You still have to use the Lightscribe program to do the writing.
so when i adjust the contrast to make it darker then go to say nero 7 and write it it will be darker?
