Saw an advertisment on TV for a computer with a CD/DVD drive that can burn labels on the disk. Something called 'Lightscribe', or something like that. Kind set my mind off on different track, didn't catch the details.
Anyhow, need to do some searching a learn more. What I was wondering if the laser modules are available, and the price. I've seen quite a few laser x/y projects, thought it would be great to leave a lasting image on stuff. Could make for a cool home business. Like window tinting is plastic, so it ought to be etchable. Most everything comes in a plastic case these days... The hardware would of course, and unfortunately appeal to graffitti artisr and vandals (don't wash off...).
Doesn't seem like a hugely complicated project. Just wonder if its already been done, very expensive, or some unfortunate limitations. Just sort of day dreaming at this point.
