MITSUI CD-R MEDIA

Mitsui Gold branded and unbranded recordable compact discs are engineered with our patented Phthalocyanine dye and Gold reflective layer for maximum longevity, reliability and durability. Test results proved ideal performance in all types and speeds of CD-R readers and writers. Diamond CoatTM surface ensures high durability.

• Patented Phthalocyanine Dye (thal-o-sy-a-nene)
  The dye formulation used in a CD-R is perhaps the most critical factor in the disc's performance. Mitsui Gold discs utilize phthalocyanine dye which offers substantial performance advantages. Mitsui Gold discs offer substantial performance advantages over other discs in two key areas; longevity and compatibility with high speed CD recorders. Longevity on the order of 100 or more years is derived from the inherent stability of Phthalocyanine dye. Phthalocyanine-based discs can withstand environmental conditions that could render other discs useless. This is because Phthalocyanine resists ambient heat, light, and humidity better than other dye formulations even after the disc has been written to. Phthalocyaine is also more compatible with high speed writers. This accuracy is due to the precision with which laser light is able to create pits in the Phthalocyanine dye.
  
  
• Advantages of the Mitsui Gold CD-R
  Because Mitsui makes all of its own discs, and in fact makes most of the component materials which go into its discs, Mitsui Gold media benefits from a consistency and process control which no other manufacturer can equal. Since they don't rely on third-parties to provide their technology, production facilities, or raw materials, Mitsui Gold customers know that each component and each step in the manufacturing process has been subjected to the most rigorous quality controls in the industry.
  
  
• Warrantied for Life.
  No other CD-R media manufacturer offers a warranty of this strength. Every Mitsui Gold disc is certified for use with all high speed recorders whether they be 4X or 6X. There are two reasons for this; First, Mitsui's stamping process results in discs that are flatter than the competition's. While all discs are slightly warped, if they are warped beyond a certain tolerance they cannot be used for high speed recording. The second reason for Mitsui Gold's superb performance in high speed recorders stems from the unique characteristics of the Phthalocyanine dye. Phthalocyanine simply works better in high speed writers than other dyes. Mitsui Gold discs last longer than competing media. The information recorded on a Mitsui Gold disc will last for well over 100 years with some accelerated aging tests show longevity of over 200 years.
