How to LightScribe With Nero
You can print custom labels with your LightScribe-enabled disc drive by using the Nero CoverDesigner tool available in the Nero Multimedia Suite. Nero CoverDesigner provides you with a variety of editing and design tools to insert text and images. These tools help you produce a customized disc label. Once the design is complete, Nero CoverDesigner lets you print it on your LightScribe disc, which has a special coating that allows direct printing with a LightScribe-enabled disc drive.
