Anyone tired the Verbatim Aquaace dvd? I gave em a try over the weekend... they are competition for the Tayo Yundin watershields. GLossy fisnish and the print is amazing! 28.00 for 50 in Canada. Probably better in the US.

do you really find that you need the waterproof discs? i've printed a ton of discs and never had water come close to them. they all look as good as the day they shot out of my epson.

I will consider them the next time I order.
I always liked the glossy finish I had with paper labels, they just looked more photo-like. Being waterproof doesn't really matter to me... I live in Arizona.... everything is waterproof!

It isn't so much that they are waterproof. it's just the overall finish of the label. Where as most print ons that I have seen are more of a matt type finish these are a very high gloss. The colors just pop right off the disc at you. They have the finish of a high quality photo.
and with the watershield they are not susceptible to smudging due to wet fingers. humidity ... anything of that nature.

I use the Tayo Yundin watershields. I like the way they look when printed on with good art work, have been using them for a while now and am very pleased with them, I have thought about the Verbatim wateshields but figured I would wait till somebody else tries them.

I've done about a dozen now with the Verbatims.. very nice. Crisp clean colors and good results with the data. I'm quite pleased.

If you can, please post the Verbatim product code number.
I would like to know what exactly you bought so if I order I am sure to get the same.
