HP's multiformat drive offers high speeds and double-layer recording,¹
and it's LightScribe Version 1.2-ready for high-contrast LightScribe
labeling.² It lets users easily preserve, edit and share up to 8.5 GB
of video, photos, and multimedia presentations on one double-layer
disc – and quickly store, back up and transport files on DVDs and
CDs. The dvd1040e records double-layer DVDs at up to 8X, recordable
DVDs at up to 20X, rewritable DVDs at up to 8X, and DVD-RAM at
up to 12X.
LightScribe is the innovative new disc-labeling system that gives CDs and
DVDs a neat, professional look without ink, pens, or paper labels. With
LightScribe, you simply burn your data, flip the disc over, and burn a
precise, silkscreen-like label directly onto your LightScribe CD or DVD.
(1) Storing 8.5 GB on one DVD requires double-layer media, sold separately. Also compatible with single-layer DVDs.
