Previously bought 200 and 100 for 100

Two spindles 100 bought. I like the white surface but the Sharpie pulls on the surface. The marker sticks and is harder to write on than a normal CD surface or a lacquered surface. This sticker was meant to be printed, but for the price, I like the white finish better than the silver on other budget CDs.

Pros
  • GOLS certificate
Cons
  • Functionality

Affordable, reliable CDs that take ink well

I've been using these CDs regularly for about 2 years now and have found them very reliable - the recording process has never failed. I make about 5 copies a week on a 5 DVD/CD copier; albeit not a big one. The content is audio only (sermons in a small church). The matte finish works well with the Dymo DiscPainter CD/DVD Color Printer (1738260) and produces a fairly acceptable CD label. And at $0.19 each, you can't beat the price.

Pros
  • Durable coating
Cons
  • I won't say anything

Terrible quality, best accessories and consumables

Had trouble with this since I first burned it. I sent it to my client and they came back and told me the CD was unreadable - the back was all scratched, almost melted or something. I'm not entirely sure if it wasn't due to searching the machines at the post office, but I've never had a problem with other brands of CDs. Also, they do NOT print to the middle! was very disappointed to find that the kernel wasn't printed and then couldn't be returned!

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Big and bulky

Good discs but not the amount I was expecting.

I did a lot of research on the name before buying, thinking it was a 500 CD box. DON'T MAKE YOURSELF LIKE ME! It's only 100 discs. The name makes it extremely confusing and there is no further help in the description or other customer reviews. This is a pack of 100 white top CDs. On the other hand, CDs are fine. These are absolutely fine wheels and the price makes a lot more sense now that I know there are only 100 of them. I just wish there was more clarification before I bought them as to how

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • So far so good

Total failure: Blank

OK, I'll admit. I bought them because of the price. Bad move. The package arrived and the plastic bubble covering the spindle and CD was broken, a bad sign. When I started burning mix discs that I sent as Christmas gifts, the burning process stopped halfway through and the Mac spat out the disc. .I tried to record on my Dell laptop and the same thing happened. Tried >10% spindle and failed every time. Bought 5 cheap CDs from Walmart to test and they burned just fine. Bought 30 stacks of…

Pros
  • Excellent price
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled

Excellent recording and printing

These are inexpensive but powerful CD-Rs. The packaging is sufficient. Sometimes the spindle can break at the base with so many CD-Rs stuffed on it. Luckily it was good. The ink from my Disc Painter adheres well to the surface. However, for best results, allow the ink to dry before attempting to use CDs. The underside of these discs is silver with a slight green tinge. The hub of these CD-Rs is clean apart from the 'Maxell' screenprint. I think this is a great choice if you regularly use blank…

Pros
  • a handy item
Cons
  • Minor problems

Great product Competitive value

I bought these blank printable CDs at a bargain price. I am satisfied with the product, trust them and have worked without any problems. We have used them in our church to record services and sermons and they have worked great. No complaints yet. The only problem was the packaging, the spindles arrived cracked and broken. Had to remove and use our empty spindles to store. Luckily none of the blank CDs broke. Revain please work on packaging, items were very loose and lacked proper padding…

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Great price

Music is interrupted by errors

For some reason, audio CD burning is still a fragile process. If any part of the process doesn't meet the requirements, you'll get audio errors on your CD. I burned CDs using the "slow" setting in Windows Media Player to avoid errors. It seems like every CD I've burned from this set has about four errors per CD, out of every five or six CDs. Errors are interpreted by my car's CD player as a small beep followed by a split second of silence and the LCD screen reads "CD Error". That's a pity…

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • weak

Good value but poor packaging

These CDs cost less than the Verbatim brand CDs (they are excellent) and appear to be just as good. I've had 100% success on both the recording side (data and music) and the printing side. I strongly recommend using printable CDs for labeling. Lightscribe is dead (too expensive and slow), and applying paper labels is too manual, expensive, and dangerous (adhesive wears out eventually). 05/22/2012 I have now used the CDs several times and reordered them. For some reason, Revain doesn't pack them

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Nothing here
