Who It's For

These discs are aimed at photographers printing discs for clients, small studios duplicating audio or data discs, and anyone who archives files to physical media on a budget. The printable surface and lack of a stacking groove are particular advantages for those who want a professional-looking, full-surface print on each disc.

Those who should look elsewhere include users needing rewritable media or ultra-high archival longevity specialties; if you require constant re-editing or a proprietary archival certification, consider CD-RW or specialized archival media instead.
