Yeah, you're correct. Sorry about that. I skimmed your post and foolishly assumed you hadn't totally gone off on another tangent and you were just comparing the two burns as your red herring offering of the day. My mistake.
Yes, I was aware the manufacturer had changed, although I couldn't have told you who made which.

You've got to give up on so much assuming, it keeps getting you into trouble. It doesn't matter if I burn a printable disc with a 212 or a 218 (in fact I've burned a whole bunch of them using both burners today) it's not the burner which makes the difference, it's the type of disc. I'll repeat it again for you.... I always get slightly better quality burns using the standard discs than I do using the printable types. I always have.
I mentioned it a few posts ago..... the one where I posted the screen shots. Sorry if my posting them has stirred your muddy waters of misinformation again.

Err.... hello?? They're different types of discs. Printable v non-printable. Did I mention that? What a mistake posting two burn quality tests was..... it's let you spot several different red herrings leading you down several different garden paths.

Can we maybe just look at one of the burn quality tests I posted (you can pick) and get back on topic? Is it a good quality burn or not, and where's the deterioration in Verbatim's disc quality you mentioned? You asked me to post a burn test to prove it hasn't, and there it is.

I'll eagerly await the screen shots of the perfect burns you made back in the good old days when you could buy all sorts of things with a penny, and I imagine they'd pretty much have to be perfect burns to be better quality than my recent ones. You can even compare like-discs, assuming printers had been invented when you were burning perfect discs and Verbatim were making printable blanks. If not, you've got a standard disc for comparison, that's why I posted two quality tests....
