Unique Coating, Laser Technology Produce Label Image for Finished, Professional Look
FUJIFILM announced the availability of recordable media for the Labelflash™ enabled laser-labeling DVD drives. This technology is being introduced in the U.S. market with select models of the new Toshiba Satellite® A205/P205 Notebook computer series.
Labelflash™ technology was created as a joint project between engineers at Yamaha Corporation and Fujifilm Corporation. DVD drives enabled with Labelflash™ allow users to create customized, professional-looking DVDs with clear, finely detailed labeling by inscribing high-quality images and text directly into a specialized dye within the disc. The process eliminates the need for specialized printers, inks or sticky labels.
Fujifilm recordable media for Labelflash™ is initially available in DVD-R (16x) format and are capable of burning images in as little as five (5) minutes in 'Fast' mode and 15-20 minutes for the highest contrast.
About Labelflash™
Labelflash™ technology uses an organic dye developed by Fujifilm and specialized for image burning to use the existing laser, pick-up and rotation control, and high-speed image data signal processing to inscribe high-resolution, high-contrast images and/or text into the label-side of the disc. Because the imaging occurs at a depth of 0.6mm below the actual surface, the protective polycarbonate layer not only provides a glossy, attractive appearance but simultaneously ensures durability and scratch-resistance of the images. This provides a more permanent, high quality choice over traditional surface-printed labels which can deteriorate over time due to wear, blemishes or scratches.

Burning a Labelflash™ Disc
Burning a Labelflash™ disc requires only a Labelflash™-compliant DVD drive and Fujifilm's recordable media for Labelflash™, and requires neither a printer or consumables:
- Simply flip the disc over after recording data onto the media and re-insert it into the Labelflash™-compliant DVD drive with the label side facing down; and
- In as little as five minutes, the drive's optical laser beam inscribes a monochromatic blue and silver image 0.6mm deep into the disc, producing an attractive, high-quality image that will last for years.
