Don't know them, but think they just get stuff left over from other companies and call them their own.
I use ritek G04 inkjet printables and they go for about $.50 each. Their compatibility is, last time I checked, tied with 2 others for the highest. Unless something can match that price and compatibility, I don't care what else it has to offer.

Ritek is the way to go. The ones I get have "Ritek" printed on the inner ring. That's a bit annoying to deal with, but they have been 100% stable & compatible for us.

When in doubt, spend the extra money (IMO). I used to think that all blank media was like salt. It only took one $80 spindle of DVD-Rs that failed 75% of the time to realize that there is a quality issue. In my experience, if the price seems too good to be true, it's gonna be very expensive in the long run.

Others, of course, may disagree...

Currently you can get 100 of the G04's for $39.99 from SuperMediaStore - that's what I use also - great reliability.

rima.com also carries good products and has pricing in line with SuperMedia.

I have purchased the cheap supermedia store DVD-R's and also the Ritek brands. Ritek is the way to go for compatibility with my clients, but the inkjet printable supermedia DVD-R's work pretty good for personal use and also backup. I think I only had 1 coaster out of 100. Thats not too bad. I do swear by the Ritek G04 brand though; these discs are very nice for the price.

You should not be sorry - I like the look of the ritek "RIDATA" branded inkjet white Desk Jet Printables. The white "RIDATA" gives the printed disk somewhat of an official look in my opinion.
