In a collaborative effort between Vinpower Digital and LightScribe, the new SharkCopier LS model is the Industry's First Complete LightScribe Standalone Blu-ray, DVD and CD Publishing System. LightScribe was invented by Hewlett Packard (HP) as a laser labeling technology to burn images onto compatible optical discs through licensed drives. The new SharkCopier LS models offer an array of improved features, most notably the ability to inscribe text or full graphic labels directly onto LightScribe CD, DVD and Blu-ray discs without being connected to a computer. The SharkCopier LS is the most productive, reliable, and cost effective LightScribe publishing system on the market.
