Verbatim Printables - Made in India

[katzdvd]

I purchased a stack of:

Verbatim SIlver Printables CDR - Made in India;

MID - 97m17s06f
Manufacturer - Moser Baer discs

Anyone know anything about them? Good/Bad/Other? I can return them if they are junk.

MBI can be all over the block with quality, but then I coastered a verbatim mcc004 yesterday and it was prodisc made in tawain verbatim 16x dvd+r

According to Lightning the only good cd-r's left are TY

katz,

Just curious - why do you use the silver printables rather than the white ones?

Thanks...

I am trying to get to the bottom of my "printing" issues, as per my other thread, & these were in stock at my local pc store. I prefer the white discs, but I can get by with the silver ones in a pinch.

I thought your printing issues WERE with the silver ones...that's one of the reasons I've been reluctant to try them.

[katzdvd]

Nope - not the silver ones; petsbug suggested that issue w/ the silvers'. I actually didn't specify which ones (color/finish type) until a few posts into the thread.

Just wondering something....

When I first came here late 2006 I was given a link that went to a place that gave GRADES to blank DVD Media. Last time I checked it was NEVER updated and I am wondering, does anyone KNOW what the best are in what feilds (dvd-r /+r/dvd-rw etc are now-a-days!???

Thanks for the ear....

I will try when they are onsale at BB, are they bad? or really bad?

[Chewy]

Choose the old packaging, see soup's scans, I am not impressed with the newer batches(neon packaging) which were prodisc/tawain. My last MBI made were better, much better. Matter of fact my last Sony's were better.

But still not as bad as office depot or magnavox cmc mag

ok, thanks Chewy, I just want to know I will use old one forsure

when you have TY you can forget the rest

[Chewy]

Verbatim is on the way to becoming grade B single layer media, in all fairness tho I am not sure that anyone is still making grade A media anymore

Kat? I have about 600 TY R- the shining one I dont know if I will ever use them, PM if you ever need them
