FAQs
What is the difference between CD-R and CD-RW?
CD-R (Recordable) discs are write-once, meaning you can record data to them only one time. CD-RW (ReWritable) discs allow you to erase and rewrite data multiple times.
How long can data be stored on these discs?
With proper storage and care, Verbatim's DataLifePlus discs with AZO Technology are designed for long-term archival, often estimated to be decades, significantly longer than standard CD-Rs.
Can I print on these discs with any printer?
No, these are specifically *thermal* printable discs. They require a compatible thermal CD printer (like TEAC P55B/C, Rimage Everest 400/600, Rimage Prism Plus). They are not compatible with inkjet printers.
What does '52x' mean?
The '52x' refers to the maximum write speed. It means the disc can be written at 52 times the original CD audio speed (1x = 150 KB/s).
How do I ensure the best recording quality?
Use the lowest stable write speed your drive and the disc support. Close unnecessary background applications during burning. Always use the verification function after burning to ensure data integrity.
What is AZO Technology?
AZO is Verbatim's proprietary recording dye technology, known for its excellent resistance to UV light and heat, which contributes to the disc's longevity and reliability.
Can I mix data types on one disc?
Yes, you can create multi-session discs, adding data in several sessions as long as you don't finalize the disc until all desired data is written. However, ensure your recording software supports multi-session burning.
Troubleshooting
Disc not recognized by writer
Ensure the disc is inserted correctly, label-side up. Try a different disc from the spindle. Clean the drive's laser lens. Check if the writer firmware is up-to-date.
Errors during writing process
Verify the writing speed is set appropriately (e.g., 52x or lower). Close all other applications to free up system resources. Ensure sufficient free space on the hard drive for the data being burned. Check the drive's connection and try a different data cable if applicable.
Poor read quality or data errors after writing
The data source may have errors. Rerun the burn process with verification enabled. If issues persist, there might be a problem with the writer. Ensure the disc was handled and stored properly.
Thermal printing smudges or is unclear
Ensure the disc surface is clean and dry. Check that the thermal printer is compatible and that the correct media type is selected in the printer settings. Ensure the print resolution in your software is adequate.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: No specific setup is required for the discs themselves. Ensure your CD/DVD burner is functioning correctly and compatible with 52x CD-R media. For thermal printing, ensure your thermal printer is compatible with CD printing and that the software you are using supports direct-to-disc printing.
Compatibility: These CD-R discs are compatible with most CD writers and CD/DVD players manufactured in the last 15-20 years. They adhere to the Orange Book standard. For thermal printing, compatibility is with specific models: TEAC P55B & C, Rimage Everest 400 & 600, and Rimage Prism Plus series thermal printers.
Care: Store discs in their original jewel cases or spindle, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and humidity. Handle discs by the edges or the center hole to avoid fingerprints or scratches on the data side. Clean the printable surface with a soft, dry cloth or a lint-free cloth if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
