I have a problem with the graphics on the design labels I had downloaded from the lightscribe sight.

The design are not clear and are blurry. Please help,

Moonbeam

When you say"template software 1.18.24.1" do you mean the LightScribe System Software, the LightScribe Diagnostic Utility, & The LightScribe Template Labeler?

Because the 1st 2 are REQUIRED & are a MATCHED SET!

Also, the phrase "Click to add text" is very special; is recognized by the LS TL; & NOT PRINTED.

The FULL LABEL AREA is 1200x1200 Pixels, so you need to have a large high & good quality Image.

On another note:

 I have installed all three of the software, and it said that the version I stated was the lastest version. When I open the template labeler, and can bring up any template I want, but the click to add text  areas no longer have a outline around them, and I cannot click on the text message to add text to the template, the software just stops working.

I have been using Lightscribe for about two years with no problems.  Today, I have had nothing but problems.  The program printed a couple of labels on cds and then quit.  I shut down and restarted, printed one more, then quit.  After several attempts, I uninstalled everything and reinstalled the LSS and Template software.  Still no joy.  Goes through the process, but will not print.  Provides a message for me to insert a disc.  Did that, but still no joy.  Not sure what else to try.  Any suggestions?  Do not understand why it has been working and now is not.  Hardware issue?

Ran the diagnostics, indicates no config issues.  

 After searching the forum site for more info, it seems that the problem is with the media.  Some cd/dvds are recognized while others are not.  I tried other another dvd from the stack and it worked.  Tried one of the ones that did not work before, made sure it was clean of smudges, etc, it still did not work.  Tried another from the stack and it worked.

Seems the optical system is very sensitive.  At least I can print data to the ones that will not take a label.  Bummer.

Thanks for the response. I have been using the HP LightScribe discs. The first batch worked great. The second, lots of problems. On Friday I purchased more discs only this time I bought Memorex. Will give the Verbatim a try on the next round!

This morning I stuck a memorex disc in and it took off perfectly. None of the delays that I experienced with the HP discs. Will have a better feel for it after a few more runs.

I have been giving some consideration to purchasing an external drive that I could use on any of my computers. Do you have any thoughts on who makes a reliable drive utilizing the lightScribe technology?

Again, thanks for the response.

Just to let you know that I have not had one failure with the Memorex discs.  You were right on re:the media suggestion.

Thanks again.

I have both Simple Labeler and Template Labeler installed with latest version of System and program software.

Simple Labeler works fine as expected. Template Labeler has stopped working....does not burn anything on the disk.

I have Uninstalled all Lightscribe software and Reinstalled it after Restarting my computer....but still no labels from Template Labeler.

Any ideas?

 I am getting really frustrated and pissed off. I know that photos in my library are jpeg but LS template labeler will not open any of these pics to the template!!! 

 Why am I having trouble now with something that I have done dozens of times before??

 I select a a piece of album art, click 'open', and get the message "no items match your search".
