Review: A superior product - I have used a about 200 of these DVD's with only about a 2% failure rate. Previously I had ordered Sony printable DVD's because of their good ratings by reviewers and because of my own good experience with Sony products. With the Sony DVD's I had about a 25% failure rate. I do print labels on my DVD's, using an Epson Artisan 835 and Artisan 50 printers (both excellent machines, the 835 a little more convenient when printing several of the same DVD or CD) and I get excellent results. The Verbatim 97016 printable DVD's are excellent in all respects. Interestingly, the old 5.25 inch floppy disks sold under the Verbatim label in the late 70's and early 80's were also superior products. Regarding the high failure rate reported by one reviewer of non-spooled blank DVD's, my experience indicates that his problems may stem from the VERY poor packing CONSISTENTLY done by the people sending them out. I use quite a few CD's and DVD's of various types, and the padding of packages is always unbelievably bad. When ordering several types of disks in a single order I have had more than 1/3 of the disks rendered unusable. I suggest ordering one package per order. Since they have only the sides of the box to bang against they suffer less damage though the padding they used does little to impede the included package from bouncing around in the package. I suspect that the two DVD's that failed in the last package did so as the result of shipping damage despite it was in an order by itself. Since I wrote the above, I have started using these same DVD's that come on spindles, packed 50 to a spindle. I have used many hundreds of them and have had only one instance of damage to a shipment. They are still badly packaged, but the spindle packing protects them. Other than that one shipment, I have never received a defective DVD. I highly recommend the spindled versions. 7/20/14 Update. Because the 100 disk pack is less expensive, and since I am am an desertcart prime member, I have again started ordering the that size, one at a time. I found that if the disks were sent by themselves, they would usually arrive undamaged -- when two or more of them are together, they bang against each other consistently causing damage to those disks at the top and bottom of the pack. Much to my surprise, MY LAST ORDER ARRIVED WELL PACKED: The disk pack was wrapped all around in bubble wrap and the space in the box was totally filled with Blister wrap. I am so encouraged that on my next order, I am going to order two or three at a time. Review: Very reliable DVD-R. Have purchase many over the years for my business. - I have been purchasing this brand for many years. I own a company called Hernandez Video Services that converts videotapes to DVD and these are the blanks that I use. I never had a playability issue complaint from a customer. Very reliable. I also convert audio, film, photos, and slides. ## Features - 100 high-grade non-rewritable DVD-R inkjet hub printable discs with a one hundred year archival life and OEM drive certified - Full-color, high resolution, photo-quality printing with fast Ink drying & longer lasting colors. - Advanced AZO recording dye optimizes read/write performance allowing to record in approximately 5 minutes - Qualified for use with inkjet printers from Primera, Microboards, Epson and others - Verbatim has been a leader in data storage technology since 1969, and guarantees this product with a limited lifetime warranty and technical support ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B002OOWC8I | | Best Sellers Rank | #4 in Blank DVD-R Discs | | Brand | Verbatim | | Built-In Media | Verbatim DVD-R optical disc(100) | | Color | White | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 716 Reviews | | Format | DVD | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00023942970163 | | Item Type Name | DVD Recordable Media | | Item Weight | 2 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Verbatim Americas, LLC | | Media Speed | 16x | | Memory Storage Capacity | 4.7 GB | | Recording Capacity | 5 Minutes | | UPC | 023942970163 | | Unit Count | 100.0 Count | | Warranty Description | Limited Lifetime Warranty | | Write Speed | 16x | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Verbatim - **Color:** White - **Format:** DVD - **Item Weight:** 2 Pounds - **Memory Storage Capacity:** 4.7 GB ## Images ![Verbatim 97016 DVD-R Optical Disc, White, 0.1 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/714Cmb9c6zL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A superior product *by M***N on February 28, 2011* I have used a about 200 of these DVD's with only about a 2% failure rate.
