HP bd240i Blu-ray Disc Combo Writer - Manual (Page 11)

Q: Will the LightScribe image cause imbalance when the CD
or DVD is spinning in the drive, the way a paper label can?
A: No. A LightScribe disc is as evenly balanced as any high-
quality CD or DVD, and it spins evenly within the drive.
Burning an image onto the disc does not change its balance
and does not endanger the disc's ability to spin properly.
Q; Does the LightScribe imaging process emit any hazardous
chemicals?
A: No. The laser imaging process initiates a chemical change
in the colorant material embedded in the disc coating, but no
hazardous chemicals are created or emitted during the
process.
Q: Is the LightScribe disc hot or dangerous to handle
immediately after the label is burned?
A; No. Although the terms "burning data" and now "burning
an image" are standard in the industry, there is no
appreciable temperature change involved in either process. A
CD or DVD is safe to touch immediately upan ejection from the
drive.
Q: Can LightScribe create a label in color?
A: Currently LightScribe technology is available only in
grayscale, creating an image that resembles a black-and-
white photograph. LightScribe's development strategy does
include future announcements about additional capabilities;
however, business and legal requirements prevent publication
of more specific information at this time.
