I just acquired the new vers. 5 of Sure Thing Labelling software (with patch) and when I use it, only 50% of the time DOES IT ACTUALLY WORK!!  The rest of the time, the image is either smudged, or after 5-6 HOURS of Light Scribe grinding away, still NO IMAGE!  I've taken this up with Sure Thing's Quality Control Manager, Peter Calkins, and here is a direct quote of his reply:
Hello Erin,

  These problems come from the Lightscribe System
Software.  This software is made by HP.  Contact
them here:
http://www.lightscribe.com

  Regards,

  Pete

HP, Consider yourself contacted-NOW HOW DO I FIX THIS PROBLEM??

Hi Erin !

Have you tried The LS Template Labeler to see if it has the same problem?

If it did, the problem could be with the drive itself.

Smearing tends to be a drive calibration error.

Just a thought!

Thanks cimofj2!
I downloaded the Template Software and the first disc came out beautifully!  With any luck, this may have solved the problem!  Many thanks!

Hello again Erin !

How I create Labels Containing a Track List

I've put together some stuff I use to create CD Labels.

  • I wrote up the procedure I use in a PDF File.
  • I created ZIP Files for 5 Windows Vista "Right-Click" Commands that are used in that procedure.
  • I "ripped off" the "Template Playlist Beta" ''Full" and "Half" Disk Templates; fixed them and create a ZIP File of the two templates.
  • I have all this and more in My MS Office Live Workspace.
  • I have developed 95 Custom Templates for the Template Labeler.
  • I have developed 4 Test "borders" for the Simple Labeler.
  • 32 Forum Users have taken my offer.
