Here is what it is.

Add silkscreen-quality graphics, photos, and text to CDs and DVDs with HP's new LightScribe Technology
Kiss your permanent markers and stickers goodbye--now there’s a better way to burn custom, precise, silkscreen-quality labels on CDs and DVDs: HP’s exclusive LightScribe laser technology. Now you can get creative and personalize your labels with cool text, photos, and graphic designs, then let LightScribe transfer them to your discs.

How does it work? After burning a disc, you just flip it over and reinsert it in the same drive. When the LightScribe-enabled drive recognizes and reads your LightScribe media, a thin dye coating absorbs laser light, triggering a chemical reaction. There's no need to print, align, or adhere a physical label.

It works. He hasn't done anything fancy with it, though. I think the discs are kinda pricey.

As far as ease, he said it was.
