    Ritek Go5

    I've been using RITEK GO5 for a while now because I seem to get 100% success. However the latest batch have been rubbish, so far out of 50, 37 have been rejected by my burner. So, before I take them back I decided I'd try an old DVD-RAM burner I have, the only problem with this is it will only burn at X1, but I'm in no rush.

    Guess what it works. Morale of the story, 'newer and faster may not always be better'.

    just thought someone might be interested.

    PS. Anyone know where I can download the cover for " Gunfight at Black Horse Canyon" ~ Dale ( Jim Hardie) Robertson. Tried CDCovers they don't have it

      A quote from the suplliers website

      "RITEK 8X Full-Face Inkjet Printable G05 DVD-R 50 Pack

      8 speed full-face white inkjet printable. Made by Ritek using the world famous Ritek G05 dye."

      From this I assumed they were the 'bees knees' most people seem to quote
      Taiyo Yuden as the best but I've never seen them here for sale.

      Ah well, one lives and learns

        I learned the hard way, several brands that scanned ZERO! The data is on made in japan Taiyo Yuden disks now. After scanning/checking so many and every G05 failed I quit and just stuck them in my best reader and used shrink
        to get the data back on the hard drive. No other media was a total disaster
        that bad.
