Verbatim announced today a new family of glossy white inkjet printable 52X CDR and 16X DVDR media.

The new discs combine a white printable surface and fast drying times with high-speed recording technology and broad read compatibility. With Verbatim's glossy media, users can make their recordings look distinctive with vibrant, full-color images. The media were unveiled at the PMA (Photo Marketing Association) Convention which began here yesterday.

The new glossy discs feature an special inkjet-printable surface that provides high ink absorption and quick drying.

Verbatim's new inkjet-printable media will be available in April in spindle and slim jewel case configurations. Expected shelf pricing starts at $19.99 for the 20-pack of CD-Rs and $24.99 for the 20-pack of DVDRs.
