Fuji Magnetics has announced that the Fujifilm DVD-R 1X-16X optical media for Labelflash technology would be available on the European market in early December.

This new technology is jointly developed by Yamaha Corporation and Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd. Labelflash technology advances the ability to burn high quality images directly into a specialized dye layer on the disc labeling side using laser for data recording.

This technology allows consumers to personalize and customize their DVDs with photos, text and graphics, replacing traditional sticker and marker labeling. These new discs are also compatible with the latest 1X-16X speed for data writing.

Labelflash allows a consumer to burn pictures and/or write titles on the label side of the DVD discs specially developed for the Labelflash system with DVD writers with Labelflash function. There is no need for printers and consumables for printing.

To obtain high resolution and high contrast pictures in blue and silver color, a consumer only needs to turn the disc upside down and insert it into the drive again after recording data. The unique technology burns the image 0.6mm deep into the media in as little as five minutes, creating a more stable and permanent image than traditional printable media that uses the top layer of a disc for labeling.

Labelflash utilizes newly developed laser, pick up and rotation control, and high-speed signal processing system for image data. And the newly developed DVD disc structure realizes the optimal focusing setting because the picture-burning layer at 0.6mm deep into the media is the same depth as the data recording layer on the data side.
