The GX Autoprinter is the only plug and play disc pinter to offer 50 disc capacity out of the box and the price is attractive.

Alternative products include the Primera Bravo 2 disc printer, that offers 50 disc capacity via a kisok kit and the the opportunity to print 8cm disc and business cards via an adaptor. We’ll bring you more on these 2 products in our Disc Printer Burn Out tests on the ProBurner website.

I loved Perfume when I first read Patrick Süskinds book. And I found the movie Perfume : Story of a murderer to have very nearly matched my own imagination through its interpretation of Süskinds vision. Mesmerising throughout and it made me fancy a can of stella artois (see their tv ads).

My jaw dropped a little when Ben Whishaw first spoke – but somehow he became made for the part as did Dustin Hoffman who played Baldini. I wondered if Dustin had read the book prior to getting the script. I enjoyed Baldini in the book and I enjoyed Hoffmans Baldini on the screen.

Customers have always found the high price of authentic inks for printers a difficult pill to swallow. When you are producing a premium product for customer with high expectations the balance between cost and quality is always difficult to juggle. Its easy to see how the marginally lower cost of a refilled (or remanufactured cartridge as they might call them)can be attractive when considering your bottom line. But the facts published by refill cart suppliers regarding their products don’t always stack up.

For a get it out the door, fast as you like, the colours don’t match, it’s bleeding a bit and still feels sticky crowd a cheap as you like refilled cart might be sufficient. But, for the more professional publisher or disc manufacturer quality will always come at a cost. Whether this is in materials, skills or experience these costs are expected and appreciated in the delivery of exceptional products.

It’s the same situation with printable discs, not only are the cheaper discs subject to recording problems but printable surfaces can also vary dramatically. On some inkjet printable discs inks never seem to dry, they respond poorly to successive handling or suffer from ink bleed problems.

At CD-writer.com we advise you to ALWAYS seek the advice of a professional supplier when choosing ink or inkjet printable media. If you own a a MicroBoards, Primera or Rimage CD DVD publisher or printer your should be aware that the manufacturer warranty DOES NOT support the use of ink refills or modified ink feed systems. If you were to visit our engineers at our Greenwich facility you would understand why.

The damage that can be done through the use of a highly pressurised refilled or remanufactured cartridge is phenomenal. Always check you are using an authentic ink cartridge produced by the manufacturer of your machine.

Whatsmore; while refilled ink cartridges might be 20% cheaper, you ARE not buying the same quality ink cartridge. The cartridge does not contain the same ink formulation as used by the manufacturer and you may get fewer prints. In an industry where the quality of the finsihed disc really counts our advice is to ALWAYS use the best quality consumables from reputable suppliers and be vigilant with your internal quality control.

Happy Printing. Primera Inks Print Factory Ink Rimage Inks MFDigital Inks

I recently had the pleasure of spending some time in Melbourne Australia. Anyone visiting Melbourne will be impressed by the style and energy of this aspirational city. There is something and enough for eveyrone there, with a culturaly rich society keen to impress on the world their progressive stance on all things from architecture to street art. As you wander around the city the mixed flavours never fail to surprise and enchant you. Every corner delivers a new experience that is barely equalled by more established cosmopolitan city’s. Melbourne is an easy city seemingly free of the shackles and policy that might make London on occasions feel grey or staid. Get information about traveling to Melbourne.
