opinions on Ritek/Arita

[browser]

I've noticed some media is simply Ritek Overprints e.g http://mediamad.co.uk/shop/product.php?xProd=204&xSec=4
(which i've heard overprints are better) and other media is Arita Ritek (why have two names?) e.g http://www.xscomputertechnology.freeserve.co.uk/item777.htm

Which ones do you think are better

Overprints better? Doubtful. Both are fine however. My understanding (could be wrong) is that over prints are disc ritek printed for an OEM such as Maxell, or Memorex, but then they had made to many. Instead of trashing them they throw the ulgy sticker on the top to cover anything that might be printed on them and sell them as over prints.

Better quality? As you can see that doesn't make any sense, but it should be at least the SAME quality as long as the label doesn't suck and is on correctly from the manufactuer.

Yeah i have used ritek overprints and original riteks there is no difference to the dye underneath and this is the bit that counts. G03 or G04 they are both great discs.
