Lightscribe label too light

[FalvinP]

I'm getting to know my new lightscribe dvd burner:

I engraved my first label, but it seems too light. It looked normal when I previewed it. The media I used was a lightscribe HP DVD +R 16x disk. I used the disk labeler that came with Nero 7 Essentials, which was included with the drive.

The label itself was pretty basic. Two lines of text, with a sepia toned picture as the backround. The photo is pretty faint, with a lot of detail lost. I realize this might have to do with it being a sepia image, but the bold black letters are faint as well.

I googled some lightscribed labels and they looked pretty normal onscreen. I'm wondering if I failed to see some way to make the label darker.

As an aside........ I saved the label in a folder other than the default folder. Today, when I went to open that file, it locked up my system and I had to reboot. I tried opening the fie three times and it did the same thing each time.

I'm running xp pro on this machine.

Any help on getting a better label would be much appreciated.

Try using this,

They also have a download for a label maker, dont know if it would work better then Nero. I think its worth a shot though,

The lightscribe program I used had some options about quality; higher quality/contrast lightscribe labels take longer....take a look for contrast settings. Also, the quality isn't going to be totally amazing either way...just a heck of a lot better than a sharpie :-)

when you print a lightscribe lable with nero it should have the options Draft Low Quality or Best qualtiy. a least that is how mine is. at first i was picking draft and it would print light so i jut left it alone and then i say best took alot longer but it is very dark on mine. but i dont use nero 7 i use a verson i got with my burner.

I picked the "best" quality button on the print page, which should have had the highest contrast etc. I'm still looking for a solution to this issue.

Thanks for all of your replies.
