The LightScribe capable models allow you to turn your autoloader into an instant standalone "publishing" system. Once you load the LightScribe label file onto the autoloader"s hard drive, you can perform the duplication process, then when that"s done, turn all the discs over onto the input spindle(s)/bin(s) and start the LightScribe printing process for a finished disc complete with a label. The best part, there"s no expensive ink or ribbon that needs to be replaced frequently, so your per disc cost is greatly reduced. Instant duplication and labeling all in one system at a price and convenience that"s unmatched.
