What if I need to make a label but don't have much time?
Scribe time can be reduced by switching to a faster scribe mode. Instead of Best (which takes the longest), use Normal or Draft (which are quickest, but produce lighter visuals). You can also etch less content on your label by using either the Title Only or Title & Contents label option. And because LightScribe burns in concentric rings, using circular text instead of straight text will also speed up your scribe time.
