CDR's for DIY demos

Post by John Matrix »

Anyone out there have any experience in this area?

I was looking at these:

I am planning on getting the plain white ones to do block prints on. Is ULINE reliable? I don't want to end up with a stack of 100 coasters. Thanks!

The problem is not necessarily the burn (and every machine has stuff it particularly likes), but the available CD players - in this day and age, how many people have more than a garbagey CD player in the car that probably doesn't like CDs any more?

That said, almost anything burns in a modern burner - get a spindle, see how it works, if it works, buy a few more before they change suppliers or the market changes again.

Blank CDs are a very, very niche market now.

Damn, their prices seem legit. I was planning on screen printing on these arigato paks for the packaging.

I don't really like dealing with jewel cases. But at those prices...damn. Might have to reconsider.

I can dig on screen printed cardboard cases like that and screen printed cds.

at least with the kunaki while your options of presentation are limited to the single panel display/back cover/cd that's only limited to your own ability and you don't have to put the bastards together and they come shrinkwrapped automatically.

over the 5 years i've used them I've only had one fuck up and they corrected immediately when I told them of it.
