    Hey,

    I'm new to this site, I was wondering if someone could help me out? I have printed labels on my lightscribe cds perfect when i first got it, Now for some reason, all of my labels are starting to swirl, the preview of the image looks fine but when it prints its got the swirl effect, does anybody know why this is happening? and has it happened to anybody else?

    Thanks

    You cant lightscibe burns the image with a lazer built in to the cd/dvd writer.
    Inkjet printers have a printhead.

    about cleaning the head, lightscribe don't have an head that can be cleaned like an inkjet. If you have re-installed the software and calibrated my guess would be your laser is nearing the end of it's life.
