Nope.

That probably it then matey.

Mine have a very white inkjet printable surface on one side and dvd-r semi transparent so probably makes write surface look lighter than normal ones with silver/patterned flipside.

According to verbatim.com they only do one type of dvd-r write surface so that must be it.

still.............'Smart Buy'!!!! The name should put you off straight away! anyone that has to convince u to buy in the name must be selling dodgy crap. Do not touch with anyone elses dvd writer, let alone knows your one.

SMART BUY LOL!!!!!:D

hey ottoman i haven't recived any pm

wierd, I sent it, never mind, think we've got to the bottom of the problem anyway so no worries.

Regards

ok np hope this works im going to put the pic on here

ok that pic was abit small so i hope this work better

here

ottoman the injet printable verbatims are old stock i used them from svp for the last 2 years
light dye, even with thick black backing added,the dye is still light
no sun shinning through



verbatim now make there dvdr with a new dye and made by a new company,ive seen the dvdinfo of the new ones they are even manufactured by a diff company

my guess is they only use one dye now
but that doesnt mean they used the same dye since day 1


ps hmm verbatim uses a diff dye for there 4x disks so that makes 2 dyes they use

cool. Sounds reasonable enough.

So where do u get the darker dye ones from dust?

Regards

i use riteks ,u cant beat them
traxdata riteks own brand,at the moment unbranded inket printable riteks g03 x2 with 1.31
everyone plays fine v4(very weak laser works with very few brands dvdr),v5,v7

www.blankdiscshop.co.uk sell many ritek g03 at a good price
a04 plus 1.31 they write at 2x £1 ish each

if u want inkjet printable version they come from diff shop and cost bit more £1.30ish each

Yeah, I use traxadata at the mo and can find very little wrong with them.

It just bugged me that everyone has great things to say about verbatim but I cannot get on with them. Might order a pack of non inkjet ones to see if they okay but yeah, for serious backups I use traxdata.

Regards and thanx for the replys
