I've been using LightScribe discs for a few years now and have found them all to be about the same. TDK has been producing media for a long time (tape and discs) and I find their products are usually very reliable.Typically, I use Verbatim discs because I can find them locally and don't have to wait for online shipping when I need them. But these TDK's work just as well and the low price (plus free shipping option) makes these discs an exceptional buy.It should be noted that not all LightScribe discs work the same in all recorders, and it's best to experiment to find the brand that works best for your recorder. I find my LG recorder does a better job with Verbatim discs, while my LiteOn drives handles most discs about the same.I've used a few hundred of these TDK LightScribe discs and have never produced a coaster. They seem to be very reliable discs.
