What is the difference between LightScribe and the U-Print Thermal Printer?
LightScribe-enabled drives are capable of etching a grayscale image, while the U-Print can only print a single color at a time. This way, LightScribe is better at printing detailed images than the U-Print. Also, since your image is etched instead of printed, your LightScribe drives will never need replacement ink. However, thermal images from a U-Print printer are often bolder and sharper than LightScribe-etched labels, giving a more professional look and “true” black printed on your disc. A U-Print would be a preferable option when printing straight text or simple single-color logos on your discs.
