DVD+R DL Verbatim supply

[pijetro]

Hey all..
I found it odd, that my usual vendor doesn't carry any Verbatim+R DL in Inkjet hub printables.
So I went to the Verbatim website, and couldn't find any also..

Am I missing something? Why would anybody pull a product that is very essential to many of us?

Demand for dvd media is dropping like a stone, and hub printable media is very much a niche market compared to regular discs.

Blankmedia.ca seems to have some still: http://www.blankmedia.ca/DVDR-DL-VERBATIM-WHITE-INKJET-HUB-PRINTABLE-10-PCS-Prodview.html

Buy a blu-ray burner,much cheaper than burning dvd+dl.

I still see lots of Verbatim hub printable Life series +R DLs at Microcenter for the great price of $29.99/50 but they just don't burn as good as the AZOs which I mainly use. Like others have said DVD burning is dying, what few people are still around are migrating to BD which may be more stable than DVDs anyway. Myself I have lots of good quality DVD players with all the features I like, I purchase and rent the occasional BD but DVDs are my mainstay and probably will be, until I can no longer purchase them.

Looks like MC only sells the printable Verb DLs in the cheaper Life series, my guess is if you want to stick to the better AZOs you'll have to forgo the hub printable ones, I see MC sells Thermal Printable Verbs in their top of the line Data Life Plus(not to be confused with their cheap Life series) but I don't know if they'll do you any good. Myself I generally purchase the regular DL Verbs which if I'm lucky I can find for a bit under $1 per in a 50 spindle. Last year I scored good at Future Shop in TB ON, $34.95/50 and I bought them out, only a few spindles left now.
