These discs allow LightScribe enabled hardware to 'burn' labels directly onto discs in a similar fashion to 'burning' data.
Using the 'Burn, Flip, Burn' mantra, users can burn data onto the disc through standard procedures and then flip the disc over onto the light brown labelling side and use LightScribe enabled labelling software to write the label directly to the disc.
A special coating is used on the upper surface of the discs that allow a Lightscribe enabled disc burner to 'burn' a design onto it. Focused light energy from the laser inside a Lightscribe drive causes a chemical reaction on the thin, dye coated surface on the disc. Because there is no printing involved there is no risk of ink smudging or labels peeling off. All Lightscribe designs are etched using the laser already inside your disc drive.
