Review on Smartbuy 50Gb 6X Blu-Ray Bd-R Dl Dual Layer Blank White Inkjet Printable Recordable Media Disc Spindle (50-Disc) by Brandon Patterson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

More affordable media to learn the basics of Double-Layer Blu-Ray burning with InkJey Labeling. Recommended.

My first package of SmartBuy 50GB BD were mostly bricked coasters as I struggled to learn the ins and outs of Toast 16 Pro and Toast 17 Pro. The errors included Buffer Underruns during 1x speed burns and excessive compression due to my attempt to burn more hours of video than this capacity supports. I do not blame the media for the ruined blanks.I also tested printing on the disc on an Epson Artison 730 inkjet printer and they accepted ink decently and match closely the intended image. I was able to burn an image of a 46GB virtual machine directly from Mac OS. I also printed a custom label and reverified the image, all without issue. I was impressed enough with this media that I ordered a second batch. I with larger quantities had better per-unit pricing.

Pros
  • Great products A++
Cons
  • Expensive: At a high price point, this product may not be accessible to all customers, especially those who are looking for a more cost-effective option for their disc printing needs
