I found an old thread about Taiyo Yuden CDRs but I couldn't reply to it because it's older than 60 days and I'm a newbie, so I have to start a new thread.

In that old thread, someone bought from the same supplier as me, GenesysDTP.com, and said that they discovered through InfoTool that it was an authentic TY disc.

Someone else said authentic TY discs are the only discs to have a "beautiful metallic green dye on the bottom."

Mine appears to have that metallic green dye, although I honestly haven't seen enough CDrs to know that it is that unusual. It's definitely more green than blue and more green than yellow. It's a pale, metallic green. If TY's are the ONLY ones to have this color dye, maybe that's all I need to know.

However, elsewhere I've read that the hubs/inner rings are "foggy". Well, mine has a mirror hub.

It's described as "silver/blue" and the silver top looks a little ripply under dim light. In bright light, the ripples are not visible. The bottom green part looks perfectly smooth and flat under all lighting conditions.

The only numbers printed on the hub are 3F038OD (etched in the clear part) and a really tiny laser-engraved type in the mirror hub that reads 80 PG7560. At least, I think that's what it says. It's so tiny I can barely read it. This tiny type can only be seen from the bottom green metallic side.

I would use CD-R verifier or InfoTool if I could but I only have access to a Mac at the moment and I either have to send this CD spindle back tomorrow (with a huge complaint) or burn a master and send it out first chance I get!
