Cheap 16 speed DVD-R disks at Bigpockets.co.uk

E-tailer Bigpockets are selling Bulkpaq 16 speed DVD-R (NOT plus R) full-face printable disks at 399p for a tub of 25. Anyone who buys blank DVDs on a regular basis knows that you would be hard pressed to bulk buy in 100 disk lots at half that speed for less than £18 pounds.
These disks (being printable) have a special white coating, in this case to within 4mm of the hub, which a printer like the Epson R200 (excellent inkjet printer for about £70) can print onto directly but for those unfortunates who do not own an Epson R200/R300/R850 there is no need for stick-on labels or a special CD pen, a soft pencil will do the trick.
Unfortunately, for most of you, you will have to add on postage and packing, 262p for one tub, 462p for two and 575p for any amount between three and ten (less than 5kg). Luckily for me I live close enough to be able to pick up my order in person.
My computer based NEC 16x DVD writer along with disk writing software Alcohol 120% (version 1.9.5) or Nero 6.6 (in ISO mode) will happily burn these disks at 16x speed.
Enjoy!
