An apparatus and method for trimming dye coated on a recordable disc substrate during production of an optical memory disc which includes a substrate rotation assembly for rotating the disc substrate, an optic assembly for directing a laser beam directly upon the rotatable substrate
A method for forming a protective barrier layer between the active dye layer and the disc substrate during production of an optical memory disc is provided wherein a pre-treatment/pre-coat solution is applied to the disc substrate. This pre-treatment/pre-coat solution includes a surface
