Thanks for this, Tim.  It looks good and I know I'll be referencing it.  
Fyi...

I use LightScribe and like it fairly well.  The time it takes to produce 
these individually, however, really is a substantial burden.  More to 
the point, though: In my opinion, the fuzziness of even the "best" print 
job isn't "business-class."  Wonderful for libraries, government 
agencies, not-for-profits, etc, but a finished LightScribe product 
smacks of "home grown."  Again, this is imo.

It does bring up something I've been wondering about: production runs.  
I'll generate a new topic for that.

thx,
-Craig
