We burn about 30 archival disks a week. After some difficulty getting Kodak disks, our tech staff began considering alternatives. They gave me the following urls for CD-R test results. The tests bear out my experience that Kodak has been a quality brand, consistent and a top-performer. From the looks of the results, Imation may be an alternative, though I'll probably stick with Kodak as long as I can, even the alloy ones.=20

I've also heard good things about Mitsui (not tested in this study). Steer clear of TDK---very inconsistent in this study and in my experience.=20
