 FujiFilm & Yamaha LabelFlash Technology : Yamaha and Fuji Photo Film today announced the Labelflash technology, a new technology that 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 you to customize DVDs with photos, text and graphics, replacing traditional sticker and marker labeling. 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. You only needs to turn the disc upside down and insert it into the drive again after recording data.

 LabelFlash Technology
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. If this system is applied to DVD set-top recorders, a consumer will also be able to burn program titles and thumbnail images more easily. The technology marries the unique Yamaha DiscT@2 ("Tattoo") technology for picture burning on CD-R data side with the advanced photochemical expertise of Fuji Photo Film, which is a leading company in dye technologies for optical media. Fujifilm and Yamaha are contacting many major DVD drive, DVD set-top recorder and DVD disc manufactures to encourage them to adopt this system.
High quality images on the disc label side
Customize the label side of your DVDs with the existing "data recording laser."
Labelflash system burns pictures directly into a special layer added to the non-data, or label, side of a DVD disc and eliminates the need for special printers, labels or pens. Labelflash utilizes existing recording laser in standard DVD-writers to burn a high contrast and resolution image by changing the blue dye color to colorless. Consumer can choose picture-burning time from 5 min. to 20 min. in accordance with their quality needs.
Labelflash Specifications
• Laser wave length - 655nm
• Picture-burning time - 5min Fast mode - 20min High Quality mode
• Depth of the picture-burning layer - 0.6mm from the disc surface
• Dye for the picture-burning layer - Organic Dye
• Picture-burning area - 25mm - 58mm radius
Stable against vibration while burning pictures
Labelflash utilizes newly developed laser, pick up and rotation control, and high-speed signal processing system of image data. And newly developed Labelflash™ 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. Images "burned" are more durable and stronger against scratches than those printed by printer and others because images are protected by the polycarbonate layer. Labelflash system can avoid troubles traditional sticker labeling may have, such as unstable rotation due to weight unbalance and damage to the drive by the possible peeling off of the sticker while operation.
