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.

Regards

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

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
