[ARSCLIST] Re: [ARSCLIST] Réf. : [ARSCLIST] Gold discs manufacturers

[Steven Smolian <smolians@xxxxxxxxx>]

Have you a web page for your CD products?

Have you U.S. distribution?

May I have a few samples of your best ones?

I'm accumulating gold discs with different surfaces for evaluation.  Among
other things, Primera will print samples of each on their new $ 140 printer,
the Z-1 which, they claim, will print on discs with all kinds of surfaces.
Check their web site.

I hope to submit printed discs to Jerome Hartke for non-destructive error
measurement when new, when first printed, and  perhaps 6 mo or a year later.
This depends on his charges.

I'm in the process of doing a report on this issue to the Music Library
Association Preservation Committee as well as an informal one to that of the
Association for Recorded Sound Collections.

Many thanks,

MPO also manufactures a range of gold CD-Rs for archival purpose (branded
and unbranded). We had good results with them (quite similar to those
obtained with MAME) on our CD analyser.
The CDs have been sold for some years under the brand name "Hi Space" in
France.

Is anyone beside Mistsui-MAM offering gold reflective surface discs at
present?

Kodak's seems to be discontinued, and so has that of T-Y, according to a
recent phone conversation I had with them, though some are still in
warehouse.

Any others?
