Mitsubishi dye is very good, Moser Baer is normal average.

You should do a little more research before posting...
I have 50 in my hand as we speak that are using Ritek G03 dye.
ALL OF THIS INFO WAS GATHERED USING ADVDINFO

NOTE: Just so you know, this is what one of the other Verbatims I have reads that is NOT Ritek dye.

All 4 of these test were done with the SAME 2 discs. Both were Verbatims.
So as Tyler said, NOT all Verbatims use Ritek dye, BUT SOME DO...
So before saying they dont do a little research first.

It just so happens that Sams is where I got these from.
