SONY 80 MINS

[Fire_Burner]

I don't know about you, but the disks I've got right here next to me don't look like RiTEK's. The colour is pretty much the same but:
a) the printing on the inside ring is different
b) the area where the spiral is cut off on the outer edge of the CD is wider
c) RiTEK don't use Sony Corp. in their ATIPs. I've seen RiTEK's use:
- Ricoh Company Ltd.
- Ritek Co.
- AMS Technology Inc.
- Lead Data Inc.

RiTEK, although a "cheap" manufacturer, is one of my favourite CD-R makers. They were known for making inferior quality media, but in the last year, thing seem much better with RiTEK using their improved Cyanine (Type 1) dye.

B.T.W., Cyanine (Type 1) dye is lighter in colour than the previously inferior Cyanine (Type 0) dye. RiTEK are now making Phthalocyanine (Type 5), (Type 6), and (Type 7) dyed media, which also seem very high quality. RiTEK now makes CD-R media for Ricoh under the Ricoh Company Ltd. name.
