Verbatim Announces White Inkjet-printable 6X DVD+R DL Media

Verbatim announced today white inkjet-printable DVD+R Double-Layer (DL)-certified media for 2.4X to 6X DL drives.
Packaged in 20-disc spindles, the new 8.5GB/240-minute discs feature an advanced inkjet-printable surface that provides remarkable ink absorption and excellent drying properties.

Verbatim's new printable +R DL media is the only media that delivers the highest performance enabled by the latest 4x and 5x DL drives, as well as new 6x drives from Pioneer and Plextor.

The higher performance, which can save users up to 20 minutes per burn, makes it ideal for short-run and mass duplication content developers, service bureaus and corporate publishing organizations as well as consumers.

Double-layer media offers distinct advantages for storing volumes of digital content because it provides nearly twice the storage capacity of a single-layer 4.7GB disc without having to flip sides or change discs.

Verbatim's new inkjet-printable media is fully compatible with the DVD+R DL specification endorsed by the DVD+RW Alliance. The Double-Layer DVD+R technology it incorporates was developed by Verbatim's parent company, Mitsubishi Kagaku Media (MKM) Group.

For users, full compliance with the DL standard means Verbatim DVD+R DL discs recorded using a DVD+ double-layer burner can be played back by most of the DVD players on the market. The premium-quality media has also been tested and qualified for use with leading DVD+R DL drives, inkjet CD/DVD printers and autoloading duplication systems.

Verbatim high-speed, white inkjet-printable DVD+R DL media is available immediately through leading retailers, Internet resellers and distributors. The suggested street price for a 20-disc spindle is about US$169.
