Most Helpful First | Newest FirstToo expensive for mediocre discs.
Printing:
The discs accept ink very nicely from my Epson R200 printer, and the result looks great, but there is a thin ring right where the hub meets the main part of the disc where it looks like the printed surface has been rubbed down a bit. This is visible fresh from printing, and before the disc has been burned, so it's fresh from the spindle. So, the print looks great apart from the ring around the middle, I just wouldn't use them for anything professional.
Burning:
I've used up most of the 50-count spindle, and haven't had one coaster. However, the discs will only burn at 2.4x in my Plextor PX-504A burner, which has a max DVD+R burn speed of 4x. I have also been using non-printable Ridata discs that burn at 4x flawlessly.
Playing:
So far, they've played flawlessly in my Sony DVP/NS-725P Home DVD Player.
Conclusion:
Due to the "ring around the middle", the 2.4x burning, and the premium price, I could only give 'em 3 stars.
Good Quality DIsks, worth the extra $
I have tried half a dozen brands, including "big names" that cost more than these. I recently got (2) 100 packs of "big brand" disks (2 diff manuf) that turned into coasters at a rate of about 2 for every 1 successfully burned. Have now used over 200 of these Verbatim disks and had only 1 coaster (think that might have been comps fault). The surface prints perfectly (I use the Epson R300). I have been able to burn these disks at 8x in my Sony burner. Highly recommend them -- however note that there are two diff manufactureres of these disks even though they are all branded verbatim (my latest pack are MM coded disks) as is the case with most manufacturers, so can't say that this is always true, but it has been for me through last four 50 packs.
Verbatim DVD+R - Inkjet Printable
Nothing beats these DVD's. They are the best for making movies and videos, with no errors and they print so, professional. I will only use Verbatim, printable for Dvd's and for cd's.
Amazon has the best price in town, which can't be beat.
Never a problem
I've never had a problem with these DVDs. They burn and play perfectly and I've never had a problem printing on them. What's particularly nice about these is the printable area goes all the way to the hole. It doesn't sound like a big deal but it makes for nicer looking DVDs. By the way, I use an Epson Stylus Photo R300 to print great photos and DVDs.
Perfect quality disks
I never had issues with these disks, and they played in every single device I and my friends, for whom I happened to burn copies, had the chance to try (unlike some Sony and Maxwell I burned before). Since I started using Verbatim DataLifePlus, I do not use other brands any more, wouldn't matter they might be cheaper or free. When you burn a disk and its reliability is less then 100%, then it's useless.
In addiditon the DVDs printed on my Epson R200 look better than the ones you buy in store
