DVD+R 4.7GB 16X DataLifePlus White Inkjet Printable, Hub Printable - 50pk Spindle - 94917, White

Great DVD's! Not a single "coaster" in the pack. I usually expect that one or two discs will be defective in a pack. Just the nature of the beast. But this pack of 50 did not have a single bad one in it. The printing is excellent. No smudges and no light spots. Just consistent color and design on all of them. From now on, Verbatim will be my go-to disc. Packaging is good. They come on a spindle in a cake box package. Well protected, and a really handy way to store them until needed. These shipped along with a couple of other products. Care was taken in packing them and no shipping damage occurred. I have ordered more of these, but I am also giving the 16X a go. If the 8X (these discs) are this good, I have to think the 16X will be just as good. Do I recommend these discs? Absolutely! With 100 percent success rate, you can't go wrong. Yes, there are less expensive DVD's out there, but to me, these are the best real value.

Overall I have found the Verbatim DataLifePlus DVDs to be about the best DVDs available. Even though I occasionally see what looks like a tiny nick or defect in the media (which I have found to be common among all brands for DVD's and CDs near the top or bottom of the stack), I still rarely get a bad burn, and I do a verify on all the discs that I burn. These DVDs are certainly not the least expensive ones available, but they're worth it. One reason the quality of this media is better than most is that the product is made in Taiwan, rather than China. I personally avoid products that are made in China as much as possible, and will continue to do so until they learn to make quality control a priority. I tried using cheaper media, like RiDATA, but I was getting bad burns more than 20% percent of the time, and the cheaper media often wouldn't give me good burns at the maximum burn rate advertised by the media manufacturer. My burner is one of the major brands too known for quality. When it comes to burning DVDs and CDs, you will get the fewest bad burns if both the media and the burner are well known name brands (and both manufacturers have a reputation for making good products). Also, make sure that the firmware in your burner is the latest version. The firmware in DVD burners is always updated by reputable manufacturers when there are bugs or reliability issues that have surfaced. If you settle for the cheapest media and the cheapest burner you can get, you're just asking for headaches. Who needs that kind of frustration, wasted time, and wasted expense caused by inferior products?

These all worked in my various recorders, and with my disk printer. The printed disks look good, although a glossy finish would have made them a bit more professional looking. The CD versions of these can be had with glossy surfaces, but I've yet to see glossy DVDs.

I have gone through several boxes of these DVDs, making disks for myself and for other people. I have had excellent results, and I can't remember ever a defective disk or a bad burn. No one has ever reported a problem playing them. I burn them with an ordinary Dell computer at whatever speed it wants to use. They work perfectly in my HP inkjet (dye) printer. They take photos beautifully. I would rather have a glossy surface, but these are still beautiful. I also want my disks to last, so I did some crude tests. I put some data disks in the sun for 18 days and could detect no deterioration in the data, and no change in the check sum. That's not a great test, but it's a good start. The printed surface holds up very well to light. I exposed the printed surfaces to daylight (including direct sunlight) for 70 days in a car window, to see if the ink would fade. With HP ink I observed virtually no fading. With another brand of ink I observed only a little fading. I did not check them for exposure to fluorescent lights, however, so I make no guarantees. UPDATE June, 2017: I've been using these (same product number, 94812) almost exclusively since 2011. I have burned hundreds, and have never experienced any data loss that I know of. (I don't check them systematically, but I do occasionally play many of them, with no problem.) I have still never had a bad burn. My last purchase was April, 2014, and they were fine.

Very good top quality disks, never had a coaster, I've bought these several time and they never let me down.

I am a retired electronics engineer, and I use only Verbatim DVD blanks. After trying about 20 brands of DVD blanks over the past 5 years, I found that Verbatim was the only brand that always worked in all DVD players. Some were good for one player, others for another player, but Verbatim has worked in everything. I make hundreds of DVDs for my church, so many different players have been tried, and I have never heard of one that did not play. They are so reliable I don't even check them to see if they work! I print on them with my inexpensive Epson Stylus R200 printer, and the result looks very professional. Earlier, I found that DVDs with labels degraded over a period of months or years; that took about four years to figure out. These hub-printables allow me to use photos or frames captured from the video without so much concern for the part left out of the picture. They cost a little more, but they are really worth the price.

I’m giving this a three star rating because of delivery and packaging. The first order never got delivered. After a week, it was returned and I was refunded the purchase amount. I reordered it immediately and got the second order on time but it was damaged due to it being shipped in a brown paper bag instead of an actual box. The discs look like they survived, but the cake box was broken. I did get what I ordered with the discs having the printable area all the way to the inner circle. Time will tell if the discs are any good after the poor shipping and handling of the product.

I have an HP Photosmart Premium printer that has a CD/DVD printing feature. Basically you select a template using their Essentials 3.5 software, put the CD/DVD in the plastic guide and stick it in the CD/DVD drawer and it prints beautiful disks. I have had zero problems with the media either in writing on them or printing on them. I just wish they had more variety of print templates. If someone has found a source for more templates for direct printing, please add a comment. It will be geratly appreciated. I write backups of my photos, music and videos and it prints great photos on the disks. I also purchased the more expensive glossy ones, but these seem to be so good for everyday use, I purchased 2 more spindles. I guess I'll keep the glossy ones for some special usage.

Ho piaciuto tutto di questo acquisto.

Discs are still requested by some clients. These are good quality and do the job nicely.

Great quality, excellent price and printable DVDs.
