Perfectly sealed, 2 separate packages of 10 each. Write speed: 1X to 2.4X. Capacity: 8.5GB each (compare to 4.7GB with regular DVD+R's). You can store 4 hours of DVD video at good quality, or 8.5GB of general data. These are "Recordable," meaning write-once. Made in Taiwan, Office Depot item #516-275. Older recorders don't support these discs; make sure yours supports DVD+R DL. If it was made in the past two years it probably does. Most Hollywood movie releases are on dual-layer discs, so you can back them up to these discs without having to compress the video. 20 8.5GB discs gives 170GB total storage capacity. Blank dual-layer DVDs have always been ridiculously expensive compared to single-layer blanks. 20 of these cost <a href="http://www.officedepot.com/catalog/txtSearchDD.do?searchTxt=516275" rel="nofollow">$29.98 at Office Depot</a>, for example. Home-recording of dual-layer discs was quite a technological break-through in 2005, but most people don't use them because of the cost. They work quite well, though. While faster 8X discs are available, 2.4X recording is better. Though it takes an hour, it's more reliable between different players and burners. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130270026644

I used up the toner and moved on. It's in perfect condition, same as pictured. You can get a new toner cartridge here: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000H94VZO/brilliaphotog-20 ($31, prints 3000 pages). <p /> This is much cheaper than inkjet printing. Black and white only, though. Prints on 8.5×11 paper, 8.5×14, envelopes, laser labels, has a custom tray. My old toner cartridge IS included, and if you shake it, you can print another 20 pages. You can have it refilled or buy a new one. <p /> Comes with two CDs: one for Windows XP, Linux, Mac, and the other for Windows Vista. Also included: a power cable and tray extension for legal size paper. You’ll need a USB cable to connect it to the computer (or an old parallel cable). <p /> Good reviews on Amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0019W8ZZ0/brilliaphotog-20 <p /> This printer retails for $114.
