Recording Surface of the Century Disc

by Carl Glassford

What does the Recording Surface of the Archival Century Disc Look Like?

It's funny you should ask. I jumped on my twitter account and started catching up on the DMs (direct messages) that I've been sent.

Part of the whole "social networking" thing is supposed to be making new friends, establishing ourselves as a presence online, interacting, and hopefully earning a portion of our living by offering value to each other. If I'm wrong, please feel free to comment below in the comments section.

Anyway, last night, I decided to take a few digital pictures of the recording surface of the Archival Century Disc CDs and DVDs. I had been meaning to photograph the recording surface for a long time and finally just made it a point to get it done.

I have been planning to take new digital photographs for the top sides of the discs, to show the new hub-printable version of the Archival Century Discs to customers interested in ordering samples. So I did.

While I was at it, I took digital photographs of the recording surface of the Archival Century Discs as well.

Then, this evening, just after work, I logged onto my twitter account and received a direct message from someone who said "Cool Product" along with a link to the Archival Century Disc Review which now on the new site which used to be CDFreaks.com.

I clicked on the link, not knowing what it was, then ended up on error page. So, I went back to the post and tried the link again. It was only partially right so I erased part of the link and found the post I think the micro blogger was referring to, which was our review by MegaDETH on the new myce.com website.

Apparantly, CDFreaks.com has upgraded to myce.com (I'm assuming it means My Consumer Electronics) since they are into reviewing and discussing so much more than just optical media these days.

So, now my link to what was once CDFreaks.com, is myce.com beta version. Hey, at least they included all of the hard work they did in thoroughly testing the Archival Century Discs, both the cds and the dvds.
(Which we greatly appreciate, in case we haven't thanked them enough?)

All of that to say, one of the comments on the review was if the OP could show them some pictures of the recording surface of the discs. That was only ten months ago, but better late than never, I suppose.

So, for anyone else who has asked or wondered what the recording surface of the Archival Century Discs look like, here they are.

As you can see, they look almost just like any other ordinary CD or DVD product. The difference is that they have a revolutionary Hard Coat Protection like the Blu-ray discs and a nice AZO Blue (cd) and AZO Purple (dvd) glow to them.

I have rambled on long enough for more than a post, I will see you again soon.
