They're good, Danny. Go for it. I've used those and TDK's and like them both. I never had a problem with either. I never got any of the printable ones but I don't see how that's an issue.

Well, the Verbatims I bought before (CDs) turned out to be CMCs when using CD Identifier. That is all I am concerned about.

When I went, they were sold out. Now they are not on sale.

Anyone got any good CD-R printables, for cheap? Preferable full-face, also preferably from Micro Center (www.microcenter.com) online.

Well they are Verbatims, what are they normally for CDs? I burned one and it looked sweet when I printed on it, as they are silver not white.

Right, but they say Verbatim. Kinda like how Verbatim DVD+Rs are Mitsubishi.

@BR7, those discs are more expensive than what I bought, as I got a 50 pack for $10, so I bought 100 at $20. Those are $30 for 100.

the name on the disc means nothing (well sometimes at least), the ID code is what's important in all cases.

@LT. I know. I just mean, Verbatim is a respectable brand.

I dont know about cd verbatim but Lightscribe verbatim is not bad at all :-)

I don't have lightscribe, just the R220. Worked great for one of them, they are shiny silver instead of white, more glossy surface.
