I have been using Lightscribe to Identify my CD. Then HP stopped
support of that technique. Then some one developed printable CD.
However in my search for a new printer, none seems to handle printable
CD. Has that technology been thrown on to the scrap heap also?

If so are there any other professional ways to ID CD? (magic marker is
not acceptable.)

HP may have stopped support but it's still relatively easy to find at
least DVDs that are Lightscribe, cd's maybe harder to find. Buy by the
100's should last a little while. I even have seen them on sale
occassionally. I also hate to see that technology disappear as I like it
far better than printing labels to attach to a disk which seems it'd be
fraught with balancing issues.

I use Lightscribe for "special" things, mostly if giving some disks as a
gift. Otherwise I have no problem with a regular marker and if need be
because label is too small and handwriting to large, I print out a
listing to include with the disk. Mind you I keep all my disks in
various binders sorted by type of disk, e.g. backup, movie, etc.

My wife has to submit examples of her work on CD, The Lightscribe
Identified CD made a nice presentation.
