Bad Taiyo Yuden disks

[lfp2]

I've been using Taiyo Yuden disks for some time now but the last two stacks have not been up to the usual standards. Especially the last hundred. About a dozen of the first 40 have been bad. Is there another brand considered worth buying? I've been using the White Inkjet hub printable type. The Supermedia store wants me to send back all 100 for a replacement! I've been throwing out the bad ones for 3 weeks. Fat chance. If anyone has an easy answer please let me know and I will give that a try. I am really disappointed in this latest development with Taiyo Yuden quality. Its getting so bad you cant trust anything anymore! Have a nice day.
Thanks

Have you considered it might not be the discs, but may be your writer that's on the way out?

Yes, they started to go downhill approximately 1.5 years ago, they make a name for themselves and then the quality dropped.

Check out the big name warehouse discount stores for new name blank white inkjet printable disk and the feedback from the customers.

You can get some great bargains on new blank media trying to make a name for themselves.

I usually go by price and feedback from the customers.

I go through approx 100-300 a week and rarely have any fail

I don't know the particular store you mentioned, but it could be your optical drive or perhaps some replica media. I've received replica TDK and Verbatim discs in the past, which also have flaws. Then i got them replaced. They had odd disc IDs and the colour of the surface was a bit different than the genuine ones.

And....did you order the "Premium Line" or the "Value Line"? The Value Line, while better than a lot of others, is not as good as the Premium Line.
