JVC / Taiyo Yuden to discontinue manufacturing optical media

Apparently, JVC / Taiyo Yuden is going to discontinue manufacturing optical media later this year. ( The market has gotten overcrowded, I'm just sorry to see the best one dropout. )

I have made a, "lifetime purchase" of Taiyo Yuden DVD+R Inkjet printable DVDs.

Taiyo Yuden is available at the SuperMediaStore as well as Amazon, (watch out for fake Taiyo Yuden if the price seems too low).

I am in no way affiliated with Taiyo Yuden or any sellers of same, just a customer.

Once my Taiyo Yuden supply is gone, any known good alternatives ?

Thanks for the heads-up - do you have a link?

I actually thought that they were made by Panasonic, but perhaps they just used the same coating formula (which is what counts).

Never had problems with Verbatim - but you probably knew that!

Funny thing is, sometimes Apple deletes my links. Never been able to figure out why. Here you go.

Thanks, but I really meant do you have a link to the story about Taiyo Yuden ceasing production?
