Just to make things 100% clear, SergioRZ, the branding as in "Verbatim" or "Plextor" will never show up in the ATIP info with these blanks, as neither Verbatim or Plextor have anything to do with the manufacturing (unless they print the top layer themselves, which is possible but still, this is not "manufacturing" per se).. It's pure outsourcing: TY makes the discs with their own technology, Verbatim and Plextor sell them under their brand.

Other brands outsourcing to TY for CDRs can be Sony, Fuji, TDK, Datasafe... the ATIP will always only show "Taiyo Yuden" because these brands don't make the discs! Of course, there are also blanks with fake TY ATIP, but that's another story..

@Dakhaas : thanks for the confirmation.
