Taiyo Yuden has the reputation of being a premiere blank disc
manufacturer, and it is well deserved. I've never had one of their
discs fail to burn. These DVD Recordable Media Discs rock!
But the exciting thing about this particular
disc is the glossy Watershield surface. Simply put, if you start with a
quality, high-resolution image and print with a high-resolution
consumer printer [I use an Epson R260], you will be amazed at the image
that you'll see on the disc. It looks in every way completely
professional. Plus, they give you maximum print area... onto the hub.
And a big bonus is that, while some manufacturers recommend that you let
the ink dry for 24-hours before handling or playing their discs, these
dry super fast. Given that temperature, humidity and ink type will
affect drying times, I won't promise a specific time frame. However,
living in coastal California with moderate temps and humidity, I've
handled these discs after an hour or so and they were ready to go.
The
only downside to Taiyo Yuden discs is that they come at somewhat of a
premium price. So, I don't use them for every application. But when I
want to impress someone or when I want to give them the very best that
is available to me, I ALWAYS burn to Taiyo Yuden Watershield.
