It seems that a few cdrs which I tried (Prodisc, CMC) reflected it as using Phthalocyanine Dye
But I tried the same ones with fantom cd as it has a similiar function. It was Cyannine instead???
The only one that turned out to be Phthalocyanine on fantom cd was my Gigastorage media. Really misleading and confusing… wtf…
Fantom CD/CD-Mate is wrong.
I discussed this with the author (An chen), but they didn’t care.
Try Lite-On media checker, feurio and CD-R identifier.
Feurio seems to be one of the most accurate programs to identify CD-R discs but Lite-On media checker and CD-R identifier is handy as well.
A general rule: discs with gold/light green back is phthalocyanine while discs with dark green/blue back is cyanine. There is always some exceptions, like princo which is identified as phthalocyanbine but looks like cyanine.
Thanks. One thing I like about Fantom is the ability to mount images. Added to that, it supports cue burning. No more using cdrwin for me.
