Labelflash

A Labelflash disc engraved with an image of the planet Jupiter.

Labelflash (sometimes written LabelFlash) is a technology which allows users to burn custom designs or images onto proprietary DVD media first announced in October 2005 as a collaboration between Yamaha and Fujifilm.[1][2] While Yamaha developed the optical drives, Fujifilm manufactured the proprietary Labelflash optical discs.[3] NEC manufactured the first Labelflash compatible drive, the ND4551,[4] which was released in December 2005.[5]

Burning Labelflash media is supported by Nero Burning ROM version 7 and newer.[6] Yamaha partnered with Toshiba[7] and Gateway[8] to provide Labelflash as a feature in computers made by those companies.

Production of Labelflash media was halted on December 22, 2016.[9] Labelflash was officially discontinued in 2017.[10]
