Say goodbye to messy markers and burn custom, silk-screen quality labels directly to these CD-R discs with LightScribe technology.
Posted by: cj10488
from Newberg, Or
Bought these as they were the largest spindle that I could buy locally... Price wasnt bad and well Memorex isnt Exactly Generic or are they. I got home and Started to do up a couple disks. Lightscribe was great...
First Cd off the top. Went to do another disk.. Had 5 total that I needed done.
Second Cd.. Error.. Stalled.. Tried for quite a while.. Tried everything new drivers and everything. Nothing worked.. Grabbed the 3rd cd.. Same thing.. 4th cd Same thing... At this point I am Frustrated.. I am thinking my new Drive is shot.. Grabbed a Random cd from the middle of the stack.. Label burns no problem. So I set the bad cds to the side and tried the 5th one down.. No Good... Very Upset now... Grabbed another Random one from the middle... No problem... Another Random one from the middle No problem..
To get my 5 cds I went thru a total of Twenty of the 50 cds I purchased. 15 Cds were bad..
Contacted Memorex thinking I was going to have to send the Bad Cds back to them. I would have just sent the entire remaining spindle. 75% failure rate is pretty horrible.. Why waste my time any further.
They say they will send me out a New 50 pack but wanted the Receipt... How many people honestly keep a receipt for $22.99 for CDs... I explain that I dont have the Receipt but would gladly send them the remaining spindle plus the bad ones at their cost. They Refused.. It was either Receipt or nothing...
Finally they Offered that they would send me out replacements for the Defective ones so far only but If any more were bad It was my loss... They wanted me to go thru the Rest of the 30 cds and Try them all and call them back with the Total Quantity... No they did not want to wait the 2-3months that I would take me to Casually do this... They wanted it done today and call them back tomorrow... Completely Unacceptable... 25mins to burn a working lightscribe label, 10-15mins to design each label, decide, purchase and download all the music you can think of wanting. If the disk Errors out on the label print that takes about 10mins to find out on top of everything else... Thats about 6hrs of my time if all of the remaining Cds were bad... I took my losses and DEcided to just "Share My story" instead.
If your just doing Data great. Lightscribe labels WATCH OUT. I am at a 75% failure rate... SAVE your receipt if you purchase these and want any sort of warranty on them. WE all have an Occasional Coaster but 25% of the spindle so Far come on.. I have since bought Verbatims and had no Issues so Far and I have done 5 more CDs... Granted they were just a copy of the Previous 5 that I did all 5 worked right off the top without any issues...

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
