At Costco: TDK 8X -R White Inkjet Printables: 50/$30

[maldb]

Didn't buy them - saw that they're made in Taiwan.

Anyone know anything about these? Good? Average? Don't bother?

[Gen-An]

Wow, inkjet printables? They're probably TTG02. Some drives like em, some don't. $30 for 50 really isn't a HUGE gamble though.

[BBock727]

30$ for 50 is a bad deal imo for 50 printables

[Gen-An]

Printables are expensive. $30 for 50 is a great deal.

[jaxxboss]

$30 for 50 is a bad deal...unless they are auth TY. Buy online , they be cheaper Captain.

[Gen-An]

Inkjet printable TY is going to run at least $35+shipping for a 50 disc spindle online.

Even cheaper here. 100 Ritek $39.75. inkjet printable 8x -R

[Gen-An]

RitekG05 is pretty mediocre media...Not to be compared with TY or even TDK.

[jaxxboss]

You're assuming that the TDK is of good quality.

[Gen-An]

No, I'm going by others' experiences with TTG02, which have overall been positive.

[JohnnyCNote]

Was this in the store, or online? I was just there yesterday and only saw the regular TDK's....

[jaxxboss]

Again, you're assuming that these tdk discs are TTG02, which is what I said earlier. You thought I meant that TTG02 was not good quality and i didnt mean that. TDK is known to use whatever, ergo my earlier post. G05 work fine for me btw. heck, everything pretty much works fine for me, I just dont buy a lot of the cheaper stuff when I can get the better quality at a tad bit more of a price.

JohnnyCNote, how are ya doing buddy. Howz life!!

[Gen-An]

True that TDK is known for using lots of media codes, but I haven't heard of any of their 8x DVD-R being anything other than TTG02, so there's no reason to assume they won't be

[jaxxboss]

That's cool I guess. It is still not that good a deal when less expensive can be had. I suppose if you really need some right now it's an ok buy.

[JohnnyCNote]

JohnnyCNote, how are ya doing buddy. Howz life!!

Not much happening at this end. How you been? Haven't seen you around lately....

[maldb]

These were in-store - in Staten Island, NY.

With tax, they come out to around .65 each. I know I can buy cheaper media on the 'net - that's where I buy them all the time. What I wanted to know was whether anyone has used them and could relate their experience. I wanted to know what the media code is - esp since they're made in Taiwan. I didn't want to take a chance buying CMC crap.

As for the Ritek 8X white printable G05s, I beg to differ as they are not mediocre media - the 8X white printable Prodiscs now seem to be garbage. Different strokes for different folks.

[JohnnyCNote]

I'll check the Jacksonville store this weekend and see if they have any in stock. Although I bought 100 of the TDK's with the buy one get one free deal last month, so I'm really pretty well set....

[JohnnyCNote]

I went to Costco yesterday and they didn't have the printable DVD's yet, but did have printable CD's. The guy I asked said they're probably on their way...
