Meritline.com is a very reputatable site for genuine taiyo yuden. Along with Supermediastore.com,americal.com and rima.com.
I know newegg.com and shop4tech have been known to sell fake tys. There's some other places as well.
I keep all those sites bookmarked so I can find the best deal between them.

Saugmon,
I have finally found (I think)the Silver Ink-jet Printables that you have sold me on...lol lol lol
Unfortunately here in Lil oll New Zealand they are only in CD-R, I think..I,ll post a link below??
http://www.pbtech.co.nz/index.php?item=CDBVER0932
They sound as though they really look the Bomb when they are printed in a good printer, so I am definitely going to give them a go as I burn a lot of CD,s as well..
I am sure If I hunt I,ll find the DVD-R Silvers too..
I have learned the hard way with DVD Media,at first buying the cheapest available like Princo or CCR Mag and wondering why fifty percent although playable,have CRC Errors and the likes..just not worth the Penny Pinching eh???
Anyway Buddy, Happy burning and happy printing.and once again thanks for sharing your knowledge with me):)

As long as you see this listed for printable media,you'll be ok:
VERBATIM CDR 52x 80min 50pk Spindle SILVER INKJET Printable DataLifePlus.
Not the silver thermal or shiny thermal,unless you have a thermal printer.
I don't see many New Zealanders around here.

I just became aware of the problem of labeling discs. I have a couple of hundred discs labeled using the memorex program and labels. I have been told that they will eventually corrupt my back-ups. Should I remove them and what is the best way. Also, does using a magic marker cause problems? What is the best way to remove the labels. Someone suggested something called seabreeze. Appreciate any help and/or advice. Bernard

Any facial astringent seems to work fine, seabreeze is just a trade name for a product made in the US, soak the top of the label with it, it will soften the adhesive, the scrape using your fingernail while rinsing under warm water. should take less than a minute. about 50% of the disks I have put labels on them have problems, so I have about 75 more to remove in the future.

A permanent marker, E.G. a sharpie fine point. El Marko, whatever, stay away from the dremel engravers.

1)Sharpies/also cd markers
2) Lightscribe- You'll need capable burner,but it'll burn a pic on that disc for you
3) Thermal printables. Print the labels on your printer,and run them through a thermal printer.These discs will have no writing on the top of them,and silvery in color.
4) Inkjet printable- Epson stylus photo R series have the capability to print directly onto inkjet printable media.Example: R-200/220/300/320/and 340The media comes in white and shiny. Both capable of having pictures printed on them.
Very effective labeling system. In europe: Canon makes a printer that basically does the same thing. Some canon printers over here can be converted using a special try bought on ebay.

I removed about fifty Labels using a Hairdryer, it just makes the adhesive so soft they just slide of..then I wiped them over with Glass Cleaner....This way is real fast...Good Luck and Happy Burning+Most of all "Kia Ora" from New Zealand(New Zealand is two little Islands at the bottom of the world that most people think is part of Australia,but we are in fact twelve hundred miles away..so for god sake dont get us muddled up with those darn Aussies)

What about the quality of Ritek CDR (Silver printable)? I am putting together a local music CD that will be for sale. We are doing a short run special addition...
Are these a good product from anyone's experience? Found them on the site listed on here...
http://meritline.com/ritek-ridata-52x-cd-r-cd-silver-inkjet-hub-p...
It will cost me $145 roughly (500 stack) to get them here by next Wed. Descent price...I have seen the name...any direction would be nice...
Thanks in advance..
Chris
