No! The last set I bought (about 30 days ago) had a little different coloring - Butthey were NOT white and NOT printable.The surface has information printed on it - "SONY" for one.Note: If the product is not listed as "Printable", it will not be "Printable".

Hi Jon, Yes they are hub printable. I should warn you that the original Sony factory went out of business and the new one produces discs that are not compatible with the Sony RDR-HX900 stand-alone DVR, although they work just fine with all the different burners in my computers. Best of luck.Ray

No they do not. I bought 600 of these from this seller thinking that they were printable and I was sent a non-printable (not even white) disks with completely different packaging.

I assume you mean a "lightscribe" type of DVD? If yes, the answer is no. Just a normal DVD or CD surface in which you can write your information. These are not the type you can burn your information.

They are a matte white but it does say "Sony" and "DVD-R" etc on the top surface so they probably won't work in cd printers.

The white printables that were sold at Costco (NO LONGER) used to be manufactured by Daxon in Japan and were great. Daxon went out of business in early 2010. These Sony's are now being made by Lead Data in Malaysia or possibly Taiwan these are listed as second tier media. http://www.digitalfaq.com/reviews/dvd-media.htm

Hello, The Verbatim 95251's are flat white finish, not glossy. I haven't had any problems with the ink running on this set.

they are legible. But I wouldn't recommend it... It stops working after the initial install. I have disconnected it. I don't know why - same result on several systems.

No, these discs are not "printable". I've sold all 7 packs that I had available on ebay. Thanks, Jack

LightScribe technology will not print labels on DVDs that say printable. DVDs that are compatible with LightScribe technology will say LightScribe.

I am assuming it is the logo or brand name. I have seen some dvd's that appear to be generic with no logo or brand name printed on it. One added note, I have read some people having difficulty getting certain brands to work on their tv dvd recorders. If you plan on using these for that primary purpose, you may want to research it further.

They are a silver color with "SONY CD-R on one side of the hole and 700 MB plus more on the other. No they are not "blank" on the writable side. Discmakers may have them.

No, it has the cheaper looking silver finish. It doesn't have the white ink let printable surface.

Mine is white, at least the top part where the printer sits. Nice unit, rolls well, stores paper and cartridges underneath.

The 25 GB discs from Verbatim does not have any label on it. It has completely white sticker and seems that they bought it from some other vendor and put their paper label on the box but they work perfectly. For the price one cannot complain at all.

Sorry, I did not purchase the white version. I have only purchased the printed ones.

John, this disk are only readable once written to them only. what you are looking for i believe is DVD+RW, the W makes them erasable and write to them as long as the disk does not get damaged. Hopefully this answears your question.

I don't know how much I can help but my sony disc says +RW and they seem to work. I have had in the past RW discs which did not work.

These are not the Archival TY disc. The following is: JVC Taiyo Yuden Hardcoat Silver Lacquer Printable 16X DVD-R Media 100 Pack in Cake Box (JDMR-ZZSB16-HC)

Yes, they do have the white paper inside of them. Good luck. I prefer buying them online thru a photo company.
