Any decent DVD+R DL printable media?

[pred02]

Hi,
I went through the unfortunate expense of trying the unreliable RiData DVD+R DL inkjet prinatlbe set of 25. I got 6, 7 coasters, but some discs play sometimes fine, other time they do not.

I notice everyone raves about Verbratim. That's good, but the only inkjet printable ones are $80 for 20-pack on Newegg, which seems a bit too much.

Is there a happy inbetween medium, any other inkjet prinatable brand that is not wicked expensive?

Thanks

As I type this response, Supermediastore has a sale on the Verbatims (the same white inkjet printable dual layer DVD+R discs). It does involve a rebate, but if you do not mind putting up with that, they are only $2.99 per disc.

The current sale price is $59.80, with a $35.00 rebate. Important: Note that this deal has free ground shipping, so the final cost (after the rebate) would truly be only $2.99 per disc. I consider that a terrific price for these discs -- I paid almost $1.00 per disc more only a few weeks back. These are the same 20-packs you wrote of above, in a cake box. I have used these discs and I have found them just as reliable as the non-printable Verbatim dual layer discs (I have now burned 16 of these printables, and have had no coasters at all).

Hope this is of some help,

I've got some printable Ricoh's on the go at the moment, and they seem OK - can't advise you on where to buy as I'm in the UK.

This is the best deal I've found so far for the DL Verbatim printables. Too bad there is a limit of one. I just received my order last week and sent in the rebate. A month or two ago someone else (either NewEgg or Meritline I think) had a similar deal - $2.99 after a $30 rebate. That was the fastest rebate I've ever received. The check came in lass than a week.

Anyway, these are great disks and this is the best deal I've seen on them so far. I do wish they'd make a hub-printable version though.
