Discs are not created equal
CD-ROM Services sells and uses only quality
licensed recordable CDs, DVDs and Blu-ray discs, almost exclusively from Taiyo Yuden,
the inventor of recordable CDs and the brand professionals prefer worldwide.
Taiyo Yuden (now owned by the Victor Company) is the only Japanese company still making blank discs, who together with Philips and Sony invented the recordable discs. Taiyo Yuden do not market to the general public, supplying most of their high grade production to select duplicators such as ourselves.
A good comparison would be like comparing Michelin tyres to others. With Michelin you pay more, but you getting a safer known higher standard material.
Verbatim discs are also available. These are the only 2 brands that we trust completely.
We supply blank Taiyo Yuden and Verbatim discs in bulk for orders over 100 units, plus packing and shipping by TNT couriers.
Smaller quantities (less than 100) can be collected Monday to Friday 9:00 am to 5:00 pm from our offices at Suite 105, Level 1, 66 Berry Street, North Sydney
Printable Discs
CDs, DVDs, CDRs and Blu-Rays are available with a variety of printing surfaces such as inkjet silver, inkjet white, thermal, and screen printable. If disc printing is required, we can usually have them for you within a day or two of approving a sample.

What makes a good disc?
In a nutshell…low BLER (Block Error Rates) in recordings.
A low BLER means the disc is:
- more likely to play on more players especially older players
- more likely to be useable over a longer period – improved longevity
- less likely to fail when burning
Taiyo Yuden's BLER is usually about 1, Verbatim 1 ½ and cheap media, even from so called good brands 40 to 60. This is because many well known brands do not manufacture their own media. They buy from the cheapest source, then re brand it. House brands or unbranded media usually have higher BLER rates again.
