HP has invented a new technology called LightScribe that allows a CD or DVD drive to create a label directly on the CD media. The technology uses the same laser that produces the data on the CD or DVD to create a silk screen like, high contrast label on the upper side of the CD or DVD. Once the data portion of the media is written the user flips the disk over and the label is created on the opposite side.
These new drives should be available within the next 6 months or so and will cost about $10.00 more than an existing drive. The process will require a new type of CD/DVD media which is expected to cost about $ .10 per disk more than current media.
