Mike Johnston’s Sunday Morning Photographer column returns this week with a look at finding the best archival blank CD-Rs.

“There’s not really one “best” type of disc. There are several good ones. The problem is, how do you know what you’re buying? Most CD-R blanks that are available in most stores are only marked with the brand name (which is irrelevant - I’ll get to that in a minute) and the country of origin (this can be marginally helpful, as most “Made in Japan” discs are Taiyo Yuden, a dependably good factory. But it’s not much to go on).”
