FUJI CD-R 10 bucks for 50 SPINDLE, TY

at staples they have a sale on fuji cd-r media a spindle of 50 is 10 bucks!!!, the thing is though on the shelf they have 2 different manufacturers, one is taiwan and the other is JAPAN, which makes the second one TY( a pro can tell TY from the packaging), but only in the store if you order online you don't know what you gonna get. if you need any i think the sale is till the 30th of this month.

 

I thought that TY were made in Taiwan. I am seeing the same thing here at Best Buy - Fuji from both Taiwan and Japan, with identical labels. The Japan are the good ones?

You can't go wrong with the Made In Japan Media. By the way Staples has on Sale this week, 50 packs of Fuji CD-Rs, colored ones for $8.94 + tax.I personally saw these, most all were Made in Japan.
Taiyo-Yuden. High Quality!

 

Thanks. I think I got the last spindle here from Japan!

where would i be looking for the made in japan listing on the label??? the back the side where??

 

It's on the outside of the packaging, not on the disk itself. In small print along with the ten paragraphs of other small print.

thank you

 

Are they good quality?

 

wat about fuji made in taiwan??? is that good??

 

The ones made in Japan.

 

The Japanese ones are supposed to be better.

But I have no way to personally compare the quality of any disk after burning.

There is testing software of various sorts, but I'm told that
a) the results vary with the software and the drive, so you could test the same disk on two systems and get two different results;
and b) none of it is written for the Mac anyway, so it may as well be on the moon as far as what good it will do me. Oh well.

No Taiyo Yudens are made in Taiwan. They are only made in Japan.
