Verbatim and Taiyo Yuden are the best quality, worldwide. If you have to buy something else, and I do NOT recommend this, Sony is hit or miss. Some of their discs are from the very best manufacturers and some are from the worst.
TDK used to be good everywhere, but they only sell junk media in North America now. Not sure about their European stuff.
I wouldn't touch anybody else. -
I've bought Taiyo Yuden DVD's from SVP many times, and never had any problems.
SVP guarantee their TY's are genuine, because in the past less scrupulous traders were selling Taiyo fakes. -
I've bought Taiyo Yudens from SVP too with no problems....and I'm not in the U.K.....

Do you guys think the silver top TY's will be as good as the more exspensive TY's???

Wow. Kind of a loaded statement - and false -
Yes, people who wanted printable DVDs want them to be "pretty". There is zero point to printing on a disc. It gets maybe 5 seconds of viewing time, and then never gets looked at again. The ROI (return on investment) is in the red (negative). It's no surprise that many commercial DVD releases now seriously cut corners on disc art. DVD menus and DVD cases gets MINUTES of view time, compared to a handful of seconds.
I know hech. He just wanted a good disc. His "without developing" errors comment was likely directed at the non-TY media, hence a reason to use TY. But when using TY, "pretty discs" are not his priority.Want my help? Ask here! (not via PM!)

Personally I use printables so that I can read what's printed on them. My handwriting is terrible and I often can't read my own writing several months after I've written it.

The few of you that seem to be the exception still do not change the general rule: people use disc printers to make discs pretty.

Just go to walmart and buy a pack of Sharpies ... fine point ... works great.
Make a mistake writing the info on it ... go into the bathroom and spray Brut Deodorant on the writing ... rub gently to remove the ink ... put under the faucet and wash it off ... grab the bar of soap and make some good lather and remove the excess residue ... rinse it again under the faucet water ... go to towel hanging over the shower doors and wipe it dry.
I write the name of the DVD video and the Date I burnt the DVD ... I do the date because if it fails to read some day ... I want to know when did I burn it. -
I like TY also. What is the difference between "valuline" and "premium"

Whether or not the ROI is worth it or not is up to the individual. It's clear that Hech54 and Lordsmurf don't think so, but I and others do. Even if it's just to make them "pretty"."Shut up Wesley!" -- Captain Jean-Luc Picard

Due to how much the ROI sucks, you'll notice the quality of disc artwork is largely rushed. Nobody wants to pay high dollars to a graphic artist to create something nobody looks at anyway. In tougher economic times, such frills go away quickly.
Most people who print on inkjets would not know good design quality if it sat in their lap. Blank looks better than some of the crap I've seen. Even mediocre handwriting is less embarrassing.
Since the OP didn't ask a stupid quested related to printing, I'll cut him or her some slack, and assume he or she is one of the few people who can actually pull off a nice product.
Let's un-threadjack the thread now. No more printing talk?Want my help? Ask here! (not via PM!)
