2006 is one of the most prolific years of noteworthy products; is the swan song of magneto optical media production.
In this year:Maxell introduces three different series of mds; among the most beautiful ever produced by Maxell; in addition it also has two individual models.
Sony produces the second series of "Hi-Md" and a clone of neige without any "character". TDK has two beautiful series, including my favorite and two individual models
Sony Hi-Md 2° series
Second and last series produced by Sony for Hi-Md.
Resumes the previous blue color, with smooth surface and brighter appearance.
Maxell Plain Style
Following the fashion of blank white, probably began with the Bianca 2° series, Maxell presents his model.
Available in 74 / 80 min.
Case open book.
It was produced in medium quantities, hard to find 74.
TDK Clef
Following the fashion of blank white, probably began with the Bianca 2° series, TDK presents his model.
Available in 74 and 80 min.
Were presented two variants, one with the TDK left and the other on the right.
Personally I prefer between the ice white of Plain Style and white milk of Clef the seconds; also the Clef seem more cared for.
It was produced in medium quantities.
Maxell iro x iro x iro
Available in 74 and 80 min, the blanks have a light colour with very subtle shades of color.
The customization is done using colored labels.
The design resembles the Axia Happy Color 1° series.
Hard to find.
Sony Basic 2° series
Last blank manufactured by Sony, is nothing more than a classic Neige renamed Basic.
A blank senseless and without character.
Available in 74 and 80 min.
It was produced in medium quantities.
Victor Clear
Another clone of Neige, available in 80 min, the inscription on the shutter reminiscent of the TDK Gold & Silver
Cases with slider.

Maxell OZ black
A novelty; a disk of dark colour in a transparent shell with the clear plastic shutter.
Produced in 80 min long
The appearance is extremely appealing.
Cases of rigid plastic with open book.
It was produced in medium quantities.
TDK M
Produced only in 80 min version, available in two colours, presents many similarities with the TDK Fine 4° series with the shell "discoloration".
Shutter color follows the colorful shell motif.
Beautiful simplicity and cleanliness.
Classic Cases TDK.

Primemedia PastelColors
Color series "Crayon" 5 pieces available in 74 and 80 min.
Good choice of colors, written and shutter adapted to color of the blank.
The lettering at the top of the shell are raised slightly.
As cases used the Maxell open book.
Hard to find.
Twinkle 5° series
Available in 74 and 80 minutes available in at least six different colors: metal shutter,
The color is given by the surface of the disk
The shell is white and creates a nice contrast with the disk.
The most beautiful twinkle ever produced.

TDK Fine 4° series
Available in 74 and 80 min, is the latest series of Fine produced.
Five bright colors with a very sober line.

Maxell couler
One of the last series produced by Maxell, 74 and 80 min, 5 colours.
I think there is an obvious similarity with the TDK 3° series Fine, it lacks the ability to write directly on the right side of the blank.
Refined Design, metallic shutter.
The back recalls the colours of the front shell.
Cases with side-opening door.
It was produced in medium large quantities.
TDK Wa
Japanese Wa is the oldest recorded name of Japan.
Wonderful series in 5 colors produced in 74 and 80 min. with floral design in neon colors on a black background.
As in ho series the front shell is not present
the bounding box for the positioning of the label.
In this way, the blank has a very clean line and "different" for users of blanks.
The back of the shell colour is visible below the shutter.
Tdk cases Standard.
It was produced in medium quantities.
