swirl image on label

Hey,

I'm new to this site, I was wondering if someone could help me out? I have printed labels on my lightscribe cds perfect when i first got it, Now for some reason, all of my labels are starting to swirl, the preview of the image looks fine but when it prints its got the swirl effect, does anybody know why this is happening? and has it happened to anybody else?

Thanks

 

have you tryed cleaning the print head?

 

how do i clean the print head?

 

You cant lightscibe burns the image with a lazer built in to the cd/dvd writer.
Inkjet printers have a printhead.

 

so, what do you guys think i should do about this?

 

One of mine does the same thing the swirl are rings are so dark it ruins the image.Sorry i dont know the solution i just started using a different Dvd writer to do my lightscibe disc.

 

about cleaning the head, lightscribe don't have an head that can be cleaned like an inkjet. If you have re-installed the software and calibrated my guess would be your laser is nearing the end of it's life.
