Traxdata Ritek DVD-R Full Surface Inkjet Printable (8x) 4.7GB 50pk Spindle

Excellent as usual I've used these discs for years.

The good - reasonably cheap DVD disks that work well. Ritek disks have a reputation for being compatible with most writers and readers. In my case I have a DVD HDD recorder that is ageing and the laser isn't as powerful as it should be. These disks are fine when other well known premier brands (and budget brands) regularly fail or get rejected by the recorder. I haven't tried to print on the disk however the surface is ok to write on. The not so good - absolutely nothing. I've only had 1 faulty disk which I think is reasonable at this price.

This review will be a summary of many of the other reviews here. Bad point: 1. As someone mentioned, the discs do not come on a spindle. They are very securely packaged for delivery, and I had no concerns when I received the item as to the packaging. However, once you open the pack to take a DVD out, the packaging becomes loose (esp after you take 5 or more out) and the discs tend to slip and slide around within the packaging. My son pushed the pack off the dining table and on to the floor, and the discs flew all over the kitchen, causing me major anxiety.....if they had been in a spindle with the cover on, the case would probably have bounced off the floor, but the discs most probably would have remained tightly secured on the spindle. Good points 1. You can print on these discs right to the center. 2. Reliable - I have burned 15 DVDs and ALL of them were good. This is despite the fact that I have had to pick all the discs off the kitchen floor as noted above. Other This is my first time using printable discs. The picture quality is very good. However, as it is printed on paper, it does not have the glossy sharp look of being photo paper. This will be the same with ALL printable DVDs and therefore is not a criticism of this particular set of DVDs. It was just a minor disappointment for a first timer who had been dreaming of having super sharp pics! Even when printing normal pics, printing on normal paper never produces the same look as printing on photo paper. Update 02 April 2013 OK, so to get photo paper print quality, you need to get printable dvds with a glossy surface (search for "Glossy printable dvd"). Be careful though, some of them do not work with inkjet printers, so make sure you read the description/detail and make sure it works with inkjet printers! Obviously, they are much more expensive than "normal" printable dvds!.

This was a gift

If you want a high quality print with true-to-life colours on your DVDs, then you will get excellent results with these ones from Ritek. I have bought many so-called 'Full Surface Printable DVDs' from other suppliers and have found they have a paler more transparent section around the central hole which is too obvious when printing a design in paler colours. The Ritek DVDs are the only ones I have found that do not have this more transparent central section but instead have a lovely consistent white surface all the way to the centre which results in a beautiful finish-no matter how pale, bright or dark your print is. Highly recommended if, like me, you want the best quality print on your DVDs.

Update January 2020 This time the discs were sent Riyal Mail 48, securely bubble wrapped. Much better than the Amazon big box that let the discs get damaged Another 50 discs with 100% burn quality I use ImgBurn to burn DVD's with 100% success I have used hundreds of these discs and have never had a failed burnt disc I always use ImgBurn software to burn the discs at 8x and It is the best and most reliable software I have used. I have Ritek / Transdata discs with the GO5 dye that can still be read over 10 years later I did try the Verbatum discs but found they always had errors near the end of the discs but these have absolutely no errors. If you have trouble with these discs try ImgBurn it should solve any problems As for my writer my old Samsung is still working fine but again I have never had a problem with any writer in my laptop or PC. I always these GO5 8x discs

Bought mine from musicmedia. Perhaps I am naive but when I ordered a spindle I expected just that, a spindle. What I got was 50 dvd's in a tight cellophane wrap with two end pieces, no spindle in the middle! When I opened it to get at the 1st disc the other 49 have no container. To be fair musicmedia's description does say that this is a bulk pack, I just didn't twig that there was a difference. Service : well the discs arrived within 48 hours, well wrapped and they suffered no damage in transit. Discs : Put one into my panasonlc dvd recorder & used it without a hitch. The white surface is easy to write on. I still use a dvd marker but I've tried with a biro & that works & does not smudge. 3 stars may seem a bit stingy for something that does what it's supposed to do but I expect that the lack of spindle will mean that some of the discs will get damaged before I use them.

After viewing some of the negative comments concerning this product, I have to disagree with all of them. I've always used these discs since finding them to be more reliable then other like brands. You can expect an odd glitch or two in most products these days, but 4 bad discs from a batch 200 or more is no reason in my opinion, to complain about quality. Just a quick tip for those who complain about burn failure. try burning at a lower speed rather than maximum. I burn mine at 8 and have not had one failure throughout. Another thing, if you are copying a disc, make sure that the disc you copy from is not badly damaged, this too often leads to failure. Set your burning properties at a lower burning rate and you should have no problems. I will continue to use Ritek discs by Traxdata, knowing that quality is the company's principle aim. As to the seller: prompt service...excellent packaging. Will use again.

「海外メーカーとしては高品質」、「このメーカーの製品は怖くてもう買えない」と評価がまちまちな中、安さにつられて購入してしまいました。最初の数枚は順調に書き込めていましたが、その後は書き込み失敗の連続です。作業に要した時間が何より惜しく、手付かずに残っている三十数枚は捨てるしかないようです。DVD50枚をハードケースなしに無造作にフィルムでラッピングしていること自体、DVDの品質に配慮していないメーカーであると気づくべきでした。既に製造中止になっているようですが、消耗品購入の際のトラブル事例として参考にしていただきたく、投稿いたします。

Estuve dudando de si comprarlos o no pero después de leer las valoraciones me anime, además están a buen precio comparándolos con otras marcas de DVD. He usado 32 DVDS de los 50 que vienen y no he tenido problema con ninguno de ellos, graban a muy buena velocidad (8x) y el resultado a la hora de serigrafiarlos es espectacular comparándolos con la marca Verbatin la impresión en estos DVDS es mejor. Los DVDS son totalmente blancos y sin ningún tipo de marca en el DVD (adjunto imagen de uno de los disco para que veáis como son). Mi valoración es de cuatro estrellas debido que los discos no traen caja, viene tal cual se ven en la foto del producto, por lo demás todo bien. Me parece que están a un precio realmente barato para 50 discos de DVD imprimibles, una compra más que acertada y los recomiendo totalmente.

Dvd sind eigendlich toll aber irgendwiestocken die ab der Mitte. Habe ein urlaubsvideo augenommen und egal ob im pc oder laptopsie stocken ab der mitte. Komisch aber vieleicht ist es ja nur bei einzelnen dvds so.

Avec le médiacode G05 vous êtes assuré d'une bonne qualité de gravure. J'ai du chercher et comparer pas mal de marque avant d'en trouver une qui permette a ma Gamecube de lire les Dvd gravés. C'est chose faites avec ceux-ci. Bref j'en suis pleinement satisfait, si vous disposez d'une imprimante permettant l'impression sur CD vous pourrez customisez à la perfection vos ouvrages.

la spedizione è stata velocissima un supporto veramente ottimo li consiglio
