    I have been testing several Verbatim CD-R Glossy printable and always got an horrible result.

    At the bening I thought it was a matter of a consignment non very well done.

    Then I bought them again, I mean in different period, in different stores, but nothing changed.

    I tried different burning speeds too, nothing to do.

    At this point I am very curious to know if I am the only stupid in the world with this problem.

    I read somewhere the partnership between Verbatim and Taiyo Yuden is over, in fact these CDs are made by Mitsubishi.

    I also tried with different computers, different burners, different burning softwares... just to exclude all possibility of doubt. My burner is an eide Plextor Premium II.

    These are the screenshots.

    Any comment or suggestion?

    Are those Verbatim CD-Rs made in India?

    I have Verbatim Azo CD-Rs made in India which give very bad results.

    The first set I bought, before Christmas 2008, it was made in India.

    About the last ones I only know they are made by Mistsubishi, they also have a different cover.

    I tried to check the manufactured country, but it only says Mitsubishi.

    This doesn't really have anything to do with printing.

    But, burning 48/52x rated CDRs at low speed is rarely a good idea. The MII CDRs are know to sometimes be troublesome.

    Do you mean I could burn an audio CD using a highest speed than 16x?

    You could try/test burning at higher speeds - I have a batch of Verbatim AZO CD-Rs that tend to do better at higher speeds (16x-40x) as compared to slower than 16x. That 16x graph you posted might be of a defective disc, which is becoming more commonplace now due to the race for "cheaper" selling discs.

    I think that Verbatim is not going to sell the same old good quality like it used to be. Not here in Italy, at least.

    As I already worte, at the beginning I thought it was a matter of a consignment non very well done. It can happen... but NOT after 40 CD-rs with a bad result (again: bought in different places and in different period)

    Anyway... I might be wrong but I still think that burning an audio CD using a speed higher than 16x it is a sort of suicide!

    I tried to burn 32x and I got less error - still too much - but the jitter test was very bad.

    So bad that I could not play it in my car's cd player.

    So, I still believe that by a good media like T.Y. and for audio CD , 16x is still the good speed.

    and, of course, no more Verbatim (glossy or not, printable or not, whatever... ) until they will change this bad production line by Mitsubishi!

    Is this official?
    If so then Verbatim Pastel CD-Rs from Taiyo Yuden are not out of stock for a limited period, but they have stopped producing them completely

    I guess so!

    The Verbatim Pastel CD-Rs from Taiyo Yuden are almost impossible to find here.
