BenQ Ships New DVD Re-Writer with LightScribe
March 18, 2005
Irvine, CA - BenQ is now shipping its new BenQ DW1625 DVD+/-RW double-layer compatible drive with LightScribe Direct Disc Labeling Technology.
Utilizing Hewlett-Packard's (HP's) patented technology, BenQ's LightScribe-enabled DVD drives burn customized, silkscreen-quality labels directly onto the surface of CDs and DVDs through a combination of LightScribe-compatible media, recordable optical drives and enabling software.
With LightScribe labeling technology, the data side of a CD or DVD is written as normal, then the disc is flipped over for burning a precise, iridescent label with text, artwork and graphics using the same laser that burns the data, the company describes. LightScribe labels are permanent and cannot cause damage to the surface of a CD or DVD.
The BenQ DW1625 features 2.4x DVD+R double-layer write, 16x DVD+R write, 4x DVD+RW write, 8x DVD-R write, 4x DVD-RW write, 16x DVD read, 40x CD-R write, 24x CD-RW write and 40x CD read speeds. In addition to its LightScribe labeling capabilities, the BenQ DW1625 supports the broadest range of DVD formats and utilizes an IDE interface.
Available now, the BenQ DW1625 has an ESMRP of $119.
