Are there any visible dye blotches and streaks? If so, I would return the media to the shop and demand their exchange/refund.

MIUAE Verbatims are among the best media you can get.

Mine look like yours - dye near the central hole is a bit darker. I think it’s normal for this kind of media.

Yes.

I don’t remember if I ever scanned them, but they all play flawlessly on my standalone players.
