Verbatim CD-RW 700MB 2X-4X Silver Inkjet Printable - 50pk Spindle

Our review of the Verbatim CD-RW 700MB 2X-4X Silver Inkjet Printable 50-pack finds it best suited to photographers, archivists, and home users who need a rewritable optical medium with reliable printing and wide duplicator compatibility. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a silver inkjet surface that produces vivid, photo-quality prints on supported printers and the ability to erase and rewrite discs multiple times, making these a flexible choice for short-term archives and labeled media distribution.

Key Features

• Rewritable capacity: 700MB per disc lets users store about 225 standard photos or 80 minutes of audio on each disc for manageable archives.
• Inkjet printable surface: The silver surface provides a luminescent background that yields rich, full-color, high-resolution printing on compatible inkjet disc printers.
• High-resolution printing: Qualified for 5,760 DPI printers, these discs support photo-quality output with fast ink drying and improved color longevity.
• Certified drive speeds: OEM-certified 2X-4X rewrite speeds mean most 80-minute files can be recorded quickly on supported drives.
• Wide compatibility: Works with CD/DVD inkjet printers and duplicators from Primera, Microboards, Epson and others for straightforward labeling and duplication.
• Durability and support: Backed by Verbatim's data storage heritage and a 1 year limited warranty with technical support for peace of mind.

Who It's For

These CD-RW discs are ideal for photographers who want a low-cost physical backup with attractive, printable labels and for small studios or schools that distribute photo sets or audio files and need the option to reuse media. They suit users who rely on inkjet disc printers and duplicators that support silver printable surfaces and high DPI printing.

Users who need long-term archival storage measured in decades or high-capacity data backup should look elsewhere; these discs are rewritable and convenient, but their 700MB capacity and optical format make them better for short to medium term use, labeled distribution, and quick transport of media files.
