NEW SILVER "G-Dye"

6 February 2010

The quality of CD-R discs is constantly improving. The latest formulation is almost pure silver in color and has the designation "G-Dye" in the first few characters of the code written on the clear inner rim.
.__ Some Memorex discs, and some other brand discs, are now in the new G-Dye media, and before long, all the major brands will be only in G-dye media.

__ It is expected that G-Dye media from a good manufacturer will work at 12x, and G-dye media is claimed to have a lifespan of hundreds of years (if properly stored - see my previous article on caring for CD-Rs).
__ The Memorex spindle G-dye discs are the shiny kind that have only a lacquer layer over the reflective layer, and do not have the secondary paint layer which provides extra protection and identifies the top side.
