TDK, Ritek and other Media

[Fire_Burner]

RiTEK CD-R's have improved greatly over the last two years or so. The LIGHT BLUE variety (Cyanine, NOT Cyanide!!!) is of high quality, similar to Taiyo Yuden. The LIGHT GREEN (Phthalocyanine) is also of high quality, and RiTEK now make this media for Ricoh and other large companies. The DARK BLUE variety is old stock and is of inferior quality. Do not buy this stuff!

CMC remains low in quality, regardless of dye type. Do not buy discs made by CMC.

Discs with a matte-silver or white printable surface generally last much longer than a lacquer-topped disc.
