Woah! Infodisc makes Pine blanks too? Interesting...

So far, Pine blanks are either Infodisc, Postech, or Princo.

Is Infodisc any good? These discs are completely blank with no writing.

They are complete junk when it comes to their CD-RW discs:

I don't have any personal experience with their CD-R discs, but based on what I've seen for their CD-RW and their general reputation, I would bet their CD-R discs aren't particularly good quality. And the 24x SMART-BURN limit on those 32x blanks doesn't say much for their quality either.
