are overprints worth getting?

[freak_in_cage_10k]

hi,

i was just wondering what ppls experiences on using overprints are!!! heres what blank disc shop describes them as:

"Occasionally during the printing part of the manufacturing process, a disc can have slight imperfections. The discs are printed over the original print to hide the imperfections"

if this is true this isn;t affecting the part of the disc that is being burned, only the bit you write on anyway? i want to use Ritek because of their superiour quality, what are everyones feedback on using "overprints"?

thanks!

Did you do a forum search ? Basically it comes down to personal preference, but here are a few links where this has been discussed before - and these are just the ones where I've stuck my oar in !

Can only speak from my own experience, but have had no problems - even better now that I can get them for 55p (30cents) each!

I have never got overprint dvds form blankdiscshop but I regularly get there cd's. They fail if you burn to swift but if you keep it down to around 16x there fine.

I have burnt around 400 of the ritek orange GO4 overprints from SVP, only had two disks with a blemish on them and would not burn, the rest no problems and no coasters. I would have ordered some more this weekend but they seem to have run out, speaks for itself.
