If I were you, I would wait a couple of months (if you can) If you want to do an entire CD or DVD in lightscribe it will take approx. 30 minutes. (they will be releasing much faster burn speeds when the technology is up to par, and even a possibility for colour, as their is a very high demand) HP and Compaq have patented this technology and it is only available on their computers/notebooks. In the near future they will be outsourcing/selling their technology to other companies.
To burn just a title such as "My Vacation" with a small image in Draft Mode, it will take under 3 minutes. Im actually a HP Rep up in Canada! Anyway hope this helped

Here is one I did, and I use it in store

"CREATE SILKSCREEN-QUALITY LABELS FOR ALL YOUR CDS AND DVDS, RIGHT FROM YOUR COMPUTER.
Until now there hasn't been much choice when it comes to creating labels for your CDs and DVDs. Messy markers or sticky adhesive labels were pretty much the only affordable option. But imagine creating professional-looking labels using the same laser that burns your data-right inside your CD/DVD drive! Well, now it's easy with LightScribe Direct Disc Labeling technology."
