The Bottom Line
If one of your goals is to achieve a professional looking disc, then this media is what your looking for ! The print quality is like no other. Once printed the disc is very smooth and glossy, it almost looks like its still wet. Also this disc has a dry time of ZERO. When its done printing its dry. Now they call it watershield because of its water resistance. Unlike other inkjet printable disc’s these will not smudge or smear when handled with wet or sweaty fingers. I must say that besides them being the best looking disc, they are manufactured by Taiyo Yuden. They are compatible with just about any player on the market. This special surface is also available on their DVD-R Media

Im always being asked ” Will the Mini CD-R on your site work in my camera? ” The answer is Yes! these will work in camera’s that take mini cd-r media. Some camera’s will only work with mini CD-RW, in that case then they would not work.

Why is it so confusing?
There are several different cameras out there that use mini cd-r. Some spec for a 156MB disc, another for a 138MB disc. ( and there are others ) Then you go and finally find some blank mini cd-r and they say they are 193MB to 210MB. Now What? Well basicly the MB that the camera manufacturer gives you is the total space that is actually used for your video and pictures. Before the camera can work it writes a “lead in” to the disc and when you are done with it, it writes a “lead out” or as some call it “to finalize the disc. This is why the number never match. So go ahead and save yourself some of your hard earned money and purchase the different brands of mini cd-r that are out on the market.

What do I use to burn a mini cd-r?
you can burn a mini cd-r in any cd burner that is tray fed. ( an actual tray comes out of the burner that you lay your disc in )
you can NOT record a mini cdr in a slot fed burner.

The title says it all. Today we updated the pricing on the “True Silver” Diamond Inkjet Printable CD-R Media. Both the White and Silver have been lowered to 24.00 a spindle. These come shrink wraped and have 100 disc’s per spindle. Both the White Inkjet and Silver Inkjet have been lowered.

Just a quick note. The Shop By Brand is now complete. On the left hand side of the page under ” Our Products ” and ” Inkjets / Ribbons ” you will see the Shop By Brand section. In there you will find all the different brands that we currently sell. clicking on a brand name will take you to a new page that will list all the available products from that manufacturer.

We are currently working on a shop by brand navigation column. When completed you will be able to simply click on your favorite brand ( Ritek, Verbatim, Prodisc…. ) and all the products from that manufacturer will appear on one page. When the page appears it will also be broken down into categories ( CD-R, DVD+R… ect )This should make it easier for those who wish to find a certain name brand of product.
