Taiyo Yuden has introduced its new "That's Triple Guard" DVD-R series. The company has basically re-enforced the protection and durability of its blank media in three ways. Taiyo Yuden media is regarded by many as one of the best quality brands to buy (many consider it to be "the" best). The "Triple Guard" refers to....

• Scratch guard: 200x more durable to scratches than ordinary Taiyo Yuden DVD-R Prevents accidental scratches that may occur while putting the disc into and getting it out of the case or drive.
  
• Fingerprint protection: The stickiness on the Triple Guard surface is less than 1/7 of the stickiness on normal Taiyo Yuden DVD-R.
  
• Static protection: 1000x more static electric discharge, compared to normal Taiyo Yuden DVD-R.

The new, inkjet-printable Triple Guard 16x DVD-R will be released to the market on June 12 in 10 slim jewel case packs and 50 disc cakeboxes, for both (CPRM) video and data usage.
