USA source for Yuden000T02 media, esp. inkjet hub-printable?

[That Bastid]

This is apparently one of the few media my drive (GSA-4120B) will write at 12x, and the only Taiyo Yuden one. Does anyone know what brand this DVD+R media can be found under in the US, and what vendor might carry it?

Thanks for any help.

Supermediastore, Fuji 8x +R made in japan, are also T02's. Sometimes Maxell +R 8x's are. (other times they're Maxell 002's though).

I compared rima and supermediastore and rima came out cheaper for me (mostly because of shipping...I think Rima was like $5.80 and SMS was over $8).

FYI, I ordered 100 TYs from rima and received them yesterday. They play perfectly in my XBOX after other media failed to meet the challenge.

Yup, but Rima does not have TY +R 8x hub printable. Only non-hub.

Is there such a thing as Yuden000T02 in hub-printable? Thanks.

[Gen-An]

Super Media Store claims to have some: http://www.supermediastore.com/taiyo-yuden-white-inkjet-printable-8x-dvd-plus-r-media.html

[Fandim]

Be careful, though. Some people have ordered hub printable from SMS, and gotten, non-hub. SMS did refund, although.

Not sure if it means anything but the part number they list DVD02X0100 is the same as the non-hub printable TYs I bought from them a few months ago.

Thanks to all for the replies.

Yup I just got 300 of the non-hub printables But I ordered the Hub printables. Man does that piss me off

[That Bastid]

I get the impression that Rima is the most trustworthy of the US Yuden sources...would be interested in hearing if I'm mistaken.

[Fandim]

Claybuster - contact supermedia store...they've been giving decent refunds on these...(dont have to send the discs back, unless you want a full refund..they've been givign pretty generous refunds though to those that have ordered hub printables and didnt get hub printables.)

It raises the question as to how they thought they could get away with it in the first place. Anyone who buys from SMS would have heard about them on the web, probably even from this very site. How could they imagine they could get away with charging someone for hub-printable and shipping something less?

Their extra $2 profit will be gone soon enough, but Google is forever.

Hi this is Roger from supermediastore.com. First, we want to apologize for shipping out the non-hub printable Taiyo Yuden 8X DVD-R white inkjet printable discs to customers who ordered hub printable Taiyo Yuden 8X DVD-R white inkjet printable discs. We have investigated the case and what was going wrong is that our vendor shipped wrong items to us and we haven't noticed that untill some of our customers complained to us. We have double checked our inventory and returned those non-hub printable discs to our vendor. So we have only hub printable Taiyo Yuden 8X DVD-R white inkjet in stock now. For Taiyo Yuden 8x DVD+R white inkjet printable, they are still non-hub printable since hub printable discs are not available at the time being.

From this case, we learn how important customer feedbacks are. Those feedbacks help us find out the problems and help us improve our services. So if you have any questions or complains, please contact our customer service right away so we can fix ASAP.

Is there such a thing as a GOOD, inkjet hub printable +r available? Been reading and looking around for 3 days now and I'm getting a little confused over the whole thing. Am using an NEC 3500AG and any information would be greatly appreciated.

The Verbatim Model# 94812 Made in Singapore is great upto 12x the shit made in Taiwan is good at 8x.

Tested in the 712SA, Pioneer 108 and the NEC 3500 and 3520

Do you know the media code by any chance, and can you recommend a good online source? Thank you.

[ClayBuster]

The media code is MCC 003. The only ones I can find now are made in Taiwan

You've gotten 94812 made in Singapore recently?

I disagree with this. The 94812 made in taiwan, media code MCC 003 is a superb combination with a pioneer 108, the results are better than with TY02, per example.
You can confirm this by reading all pioneer test reviews, but this is also my personnal experience.
Furthermore, the allowed max speed is 12x (non-hacked firmware).

I highly recommend this media. Not a coaster, not a bad burn, regular pi/pif in the 90% (quality test at 8x with cd/dvd speed).

I have a 10 pack in jewel cases of MCC03 (Verbatim Made in Singapore) - from sams club. Neither of my burners (Plextor 712A and Nec 3500A) can use this media over 4x speed.

Of particular note is the serial number. 8x +R MCC03 verbatim discs with a S/N ending in AX are of horrible quality. Discs ending with S/N BX seem to be of very good quality.

I have heard of people getting a mixture of AX and BX discs in a single spindle. Both media had an MID of MCC003. The full MID did differ slightly, the details have been posted over at http://club.cdfreaks.com and probably on this forum as well.

The stuff made in Tawain is not complete crap it's just not as good as the stuff from Singapore. I can do the stuff from Singapore at 12x and get perfect scans (Except the Plextor will only do 8x) when I use the Taiwan stuff the scans are still good JUST NOT as good but for some reason the Taiwan stuff does 12x in the plex.

I got the inkjet hub printable with the TY media code on them. I kinow they are not really ty as it is Linkyo dvd -R, but they burn great @12x on my nec3500 and scan great too. Im happy and 100 for $26.40 shipped!

[Captain315]

Looks as if there are only two +r, hub printables available. TY and Verbatim. Unfortunately, both of them are twice as expensive as good quality -r discs. Guess I will just have to stay with the -r even though I really wanted the compatibility of a bitset +r. Thanks to all of you that replied to my request for information.

You forgot one, at least: Prodisc R03. They are not bad, IMO. Not to be confused with other media codes.

Imation also makes 8x +R inkjet hub printable. Both white and silver. Part numbers 17461 and 17462 respectively. Print area 118mm x 23mm (according to Imation support). I've not purchased any so I don't know what MID they are, but I've heard that they would very likely be RICOHJPN02 or CMC MAG E01.

[Captain315]

I've had some really bad experiences with Prodisc. Finally had to redo all my backups that I did on them. But then, I was using paper labels at the time so it might be time to try them again.
I've had good luck (believe it or not) with the CMC Mag AE1 . They were not printable though. I don't know about the RICOHJPN02 or the E01 as to their quality. Will have to do a search in the media section to see what other people have experienced with the ND 3500AG at those medias.
It would be nice to find a good one. IMO, if they don't put some more effort into the +r type of media, it will go by the way of DL (which I personally think is not going to make it) with the advent of HD and BlueRay. Thanks again Rick and Pudah.
