NEC Drives to Feature
Labelling Technology from Yamaha
Sunday, August 31, 2005
Liggy, our Site Administrator used the news
submit during a (very rare) free moment at work
to quickly translate this Heise article for
us English speaking CD Freaks.
Yamaha expanded their T@2 technology to a new
LabelFlash technology which allows labelling
your discs with your burner"s laser within 5
minutes. On the back of their reflection layer,
LabelFlash discs have a coloured area that"s
used by the burner for labelling the disc. Since
the colour is on the back of the reflection
layer, it is protected by a 0.6 mm polycarbonate
disc. Disc prices are expected to be about 20%
higher than for current discs. CD-R with this
technique are not planned at the moment. The
first burners supporting this technology will
be the half height drive ND3551A and ND4551A
and the slimline drive ND7551A from NEC.
Those of us that can speak German may wish to
visit this Heise link and to view the original
source detailing this new labelling technique.
Thanks Liggy, for giving us a heads up on this
story, we have to think that this will light
a fire under any posible advancements in LightScribe
which takes considerably longer to label with.
The sample here doesn't look too bad. Plus it
is a color other than Sepia. We have to wonder
what other colors are possible.
