The production controls were tighter and the materials used better quality and, therefore, more expensive. The ingredients of the dye were better; the reflective layer better; a special lacquer coating was used. The cost was about 20% higher than normal. The disks were marketed under the name "Ultra Life Plus". ******************************************* I've searched the Verbatim website and can't find any reference to "Ultra Life Plus". Does anyone know if these CD-Rs are sold in the US? If so, where can they be purchased? Aaron Z
