Gold/Gold CD-Rs...

[indolikaa]

I was looking at these Gold/Gold CD-Rs from allmediaoutlet.com.

Has anybody had any experience with them?


Thanks.

The Phthalocyanine "gold" dye is used on this CDR media to provide the CDR with a longer storage life (100+ yrs).

I don't buy it.

The gold-colored CD-R uses the PhtaloCyanine pigment and a gold reflection layer. As the pigment is transparent, the golden reflection layer shines through the bottom side giving the `golden' look. Compared to the other colored media, the reflection contrast of the golden medium is the highest and the durability of such CD-Rs is said to be over 100 years. As the golden medium's reflective property is the highest, if your friends or customers have problems reading data from any other burnt media, try using the gold medium CD-R.

If that's real gold leaf, it might last 100+ years. Corrosion wouldn't be an issue, for one...
