| Oh, and by the way, the cakebox reminds me of a few SKC CD-R cakeboxes... SKC mostly has their media made in Hong Kong though. Odd...

I was looking up this company, what I found was that the company's name is E- TOP NAVIGATOR, another place it said it was called E-TOP NETWORK, pretty wierd, but always with the same websites.  Anyway, if you go here : http://4f603213477.company.ibuy-sell.com/, there you have two links, www.etopnetwork.com.tw works and leads to a site called www.sapido.com.tw . The reason why I found this company and this forum is because I'm doing some research about low-quality cds. If somebody could tell me what country is the largest producer and waht are the largest companies, I would appreciate it. |
| The most important CD-R(W) producing countries are (in no particular order) Taiwan (CMC, Ritek, Prodisc, Daxon, Nan-Ya, Lead Data, Infodisc and several smaller companies), China (CMC, Ritek, Prodisc, Wealth Fair Investment and several smaller companies), India (Moser Baer), Hong Kong (SKC/Mediastar, Prodisc, formerly also: CMC), Malaysia (Daxon), Japan (Taiyo Yuden, formerly also: TDK, Matsushita Electric, Pioneer, Ricoh, Sony). (Smaller production lines also exist(ed) in the US (MAM-A, formerly also TDK), France (MAM-E, now closed), Italy (Computer Support Italy, now closed?), Luxembourg (TDK, now closed), and Germany (Fuji, now closed?).) The most important CD-R(W) producing companies are CMC, Moser Baer India, Ritek, Prodisc.

| As for me, the low quality media echelon (not only the initial burn quality matters, but the quality degradation ratio too) consists of: (Taiwan) Lead Data, Infodisc, Ricoh, Mitsui, Gigastorage Corp.; (China) Infodisc, Princo, and all the rest of that famous chinese CD-manufacturing mafia (Russia) Mirex (the Plasmon-coded CD-R versions), VS (usually rebadging various crap and, as I see, QC-failed media); of course, the list can be continued. |
| Well, CMC, Daxon and to some extent Ritek and Prodisc have made quite decent CD-R, not as good as TY but definitely acceptable for everyday usage even though some of the lines of the Taiwanese companies have been relocated to China. Arachne has posted quite a sweet scan with TDK CD-R made by CMC. I'll definitely have to try TDK's CMCs too. Some of my Moser Baer India CD-R (Imation brand) have been degrading like mad, though.  Might try my luck with Ricoh-MBI CD-R again, but I'm not so sure whether the money on these would be well spent...

 , but I put that down to the drive as well as the media. I really like my NEC for CDR burning.
