yep, thanks to danny's suggestion to me a while ago, i realised Lightscribe were definitely for me..... no replacing of ink cartridges, and customers are WAY more impressed by them then my previous colour-printed ones... esp, when you call them something fancy like 'laser-etched gold discs' :)

Yup, no ink costs, no printer costs. Have 2 PC's so burn 2 disks at a time. Infact although the burn/print takes 30mins per disk I can do that while I edit. Resolution is also very VERY high. I have some small text on the disks thats nice and sharp. They also have the golden shimmer of the disk in them so looks shiney and we all like shiney.

Some guys like the full colour. I just dont like getting ink on my fingers.

Disks do cost more than normal ones, I have used the cheap ones (£24 for 100) and there pretty rubbish, easily scratch and very thin. Problem is you cant buy the decent HP ones in bulk.

Exactly. The gold tone was annoying at first, but then I realized that was part of what made them impressive looking (at least for wedding clients).

I burned a 46 disc school graduation this spring. That was some crazy lightscribe work there. Three computers all with lightscribe going and each disc taking about 35 minutes on medium to burn the lightscribe.

I've been using Verbatim's media and have been pretty happy with it. B&H even has them for the best price and in 50 packs.
