TDK inkjet printable BD-R discs now available

I don't know if anyone is interested on this forum but some of you may be doing wedding/event work and producing BD-R discs for clients - TDK inkjet printable (right up to the hub) BD-R discs are just being shipped - a company in California has received a few spindles (they come in packs of 25 discs on a spindle) - www.mediadistributors.com - they don't have it on their website yet but email : mario@mediadistributors.com and he can ship you the product.

I have both and the TDK dont look as good. They aren't gloss or water resistant etc. It's just annoying that the Imation ones are not to the center print.

Imation is now shipping Blu-Ray inkjet printable media with "aqua guard" water resistant coating. I'll be getting some next week. This is the very last component of my transition to HD editing.

I got the Imation discs from Primera on their website store (approx 3-4 weeks ago) - for a 10 disc spindle cost was $ 240.00 - I was disappointed though for the fact that they have a 4 cm in diameter central area which does not have the printable coating (clear plastic).

 

I just received my TDK discs - 25 disc spindle for $ 412 - $ 16.50 per disc (vs $ 24/disc from Primera) AND they are printable up to the hub with just a small clear plastic area - central non-printable diameter is 2.5 cm vs the 4 cm on the other disc.

 

Since TDK and Imation are merging (can't remember which one bought out the other) I suspect the Imation discs will be discontinuted in favor of the TDK hub printable discs.
