Write your data on the recording side of the disc.

Eject the disc, flip it over so the labeling side is facing down, and pop it back in the burner.

Burn your image on the labeling side.
(The length of time to burn a picture is between 5 and 20 minutes depending on the quality of the burned image.)

The imaging dye layer is located 0.6 millimeters below the surface of the labeling side. Images last longer since they cannot be touched directly.
