This week we found an intresting CD-R product developed by
Verbatim that allows a CD-R disc that features a patented
Azo recording dye that reacts faster and with greater
sensitivity to laser light than other dyes allowing for
a quicker burn. These discs look to be a great option for
individuals who enjoy creating CD-R's.
The above items as well as other new and innovative
services and technologies can be found on our What's Hip
section on our News page at:
