Re: [ARSCLIST] supplier of gold CDs

[Steven Smolian <smolians@xxxxxxxxx>]

The basic question is, do they make them themselves or are they repackaging
another manufacturer's product?

I recall some gold T-Y discs as well.

The conventional wisdom is that CDs work better- have fewer errors- at lower
writing speeds, in the 4X rather than 52X area.  Most blanks seem to be
optimized for the higher rather than slower speeds.  What are the relevant
specs on these?

I use a CD inkjet printer.  The HHB seems to be a write-on only.  Do they
also offer them unbranded with the appropriate surface?
