More about 'Diamond CD-R'
A Diamond CD-R is a recordable CD (CD-R) with a transparent or silver-looking bottom layer, designed to resemble a factory-pressed (Replicated) CD rather than the usual green, blue, or gold tints found on standard CD-Rs.
Key Features of Diamond CD-Rs:
- Silver/Transparent Underside
Unlike typical CD-Rs that have a dye-based recording layer (which appears green, blue, or gold), Diamond CD-Rs have a silver-colored recording surface, making them look like professionally manufactured CDs.
- Better Aesthetic Appeal
Because they resemble mass-produced CDs, they are often used for music albums, demo discs, or archival purposes where a clean, professional look is desired.
- Dye Technology
They typically use a phthalocyanine dye, which is more transparent compared to traditional CD-R dyes.
