LightScribe, a registered trademark of the Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P., is a direct disc labeling technology, which burns text and graphics onto the surface of a CD or DVD using a specially coated LightScribe disc and the disc drive’s laser. LightScribe's specially coated discs chemically change when a laser strikes the label side, producing titles and graphics created using LightScribe software. Currently, it is not possible to rewrite a LightScribe label, but it is possible to add more content to a label that is already burned; a preview screen will let you see what it will look like before it is burned.
