TY Blank CD-R...Identifying #'s ???
 

hello...

I use Taiyo Yuden blank CD-Rs at my mastering studio for both red book cda & referrence cdr's, for my clients.

On Taiyo Yudens...which number on the disk identifies it as an official TY...the # on front hub or the one on the edge of the back hub ???

[The # on the front hub is HL842C1011380

The # on the edge of the back hub is 80 PG7631]

I want to be able to tell my clients that I use Taiyo Yuden _ _ _ _ _ _'s; & am not sure which # to use.

Thanks,

The 80 PG7631, is the size and type of TY media.

The inner-ring is probably a manufacture serial like which line, how many was made to the point etc, batch number and so forth.

But those are real TY's, the color should be like a goldy colour yes?

EDIT: Also if the case has the references B and >pp< thats another good sign :)

thanks, DABhand...

I'll go w/ the PG #, then.

no...the color is a metallic blue (& every TY I've ever bought is metallic blue, even from re-distributors like microboards). I got these from DiscMakers, the lablel of which on the outside of the drum read a big bold TAIYO YUDEN in red...w/ a part # of CDR80WPY100SBZM.

You're scarin' me w/ this gold business.

I was talking about the top surface of the disc. Not the written surface.

Look on the top of the plastic case, thats where you should be able to see the B and >pp<

But the PG# is correct. Any time I have had the PG7631 in my shop they have been gold top for me.

sorry...

I get the white inkjet printable top surface, so I can print disc info for my audio clients.

thanks,
