This drive is also equipped with Lightscribe technology. Lightscribe is an HP technology that allows you to ***8220;burn***8221; a label onto the topside of a Lightscribe compatible disc. We captured a few photos of Lightscribe burns in action.

Even though the monitor screenshots show color images, the Lightscribe disc-top image is actually only a monochromatic, colorless image with a mixture of shades. HP describes it as a laser ***8220;silkscreen***8221;. As you may have guessed from the screenshots, it takes approximately 30 minutes to burn an entire Lightscribe disc-top image at full resolution. LG informed us that there is also a mid and a low resolution option, which will ***8220;scribe***8221; at approximately 25 minutes and 20 minutes respectively.
