[edit] similarities to T@2 -?!

re: "DiskT@2 is a part of Labelflash technology — burning on bottom side (data side) of disc area which is not used by data is possible with any DVD±R media."

This is getting really confusing -- I am looking to understand if Labelflash, and accompanying software, will allow any printing to the UNUSED PORTION ON THE DATA SIDE of the disc, just as the DiskT@2 technology would. Does it do this or not? Dcsutherland (talk) 19:41, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Resolution in Question

Is resolution really 1000 dpi? When importing images in Nero, their dimensions are set as if it were 100 pixels/cm (254 ppi). I have ND-4551, DVD+R disc (standard 4.7 GB), Nero 7.2 and best print quality is selected. My screen resolution is 96 ppi, and images are not tied to a particular resolution (they are JPEG, so 72 ppi by default), so this could not be the cause.

1. I wouldn't have said it was 1000dpi. I've got a drive myself, and the detail's good, but again I wouldn't call it 1000dpi. I'll have a look around and see if I can find some other info about it. Might see if I can get a good picture of a burned CD too. —Dancraggs 00:09, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

A burned CD? I thought there are no LabelFlash CD-Rs yet? Or can you in fact use normal ones the way you can with normal DVDs, i.e. using data space for the picture? That would put LabelFlash in a better position as a technology, because in my view one drawback is that you cannot (yet) use it for tattooing CD-Rs - but the latter are exactly what often isn't really used up, so as a compromise it would be good if you at least could use the margin. However they really should also produce LabelFlash CD-Rs if they intend to rival LightScribe.

BTW what may be the reason for Nero not supporting LabelFlash in the US? Did HP make a special deal with Nero for the US market? Is this another superior technology (cf. e.g. BetaMax/Video 2000 vs. VHS) that is not allowed to succeed because someone feels they could make more money with a different one? It seems that LabelFlash is way like Apple and LightScribe is like Windows - the second one is not as good but more supported hence cheaper (about media, in this case) hence more demanded hence more supported etc. Edwing 15:31, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] LabelFlash Will Officially Be Available to US Consumers

A relative new development. Starting with Toshiba, but I'm sure others will follow, PCs with LabelFlash technology will be sold in the US market. Also, the special media will start being made available, as mentioned by an announcement last Friday on the LabelFlash site. --130.127.121.188 00:51, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
