Customers might not realise but at CD-writer.com we supply much more than duplication technology. A natural parallel market for us is label printers, and it just so happens that our friends at Primera offer a fantastic range. The label printer market is very similar to the disc production market. Label printers are increasingly used by smaller businesses that product smaller volumes of quite unique products. In the past it has been expensive for businesses for example who product their own boutique and specialist food products to get their brand on the shelves of larger stores. The expense of producing large minimum runs of labels meant that low volume manufacturers had to bare large per unit costs that ate into their profits.

Desktop printing with systems like Primera Label Printers has changed all that. Now with just a small investment companies and businesses of any size can make professional, durable labels that match the look and feel of those presented by larger brands. In fact with  desktop label printer like an LX900e or LX400e product designers, producers and marketeers have far more freedom to let their creative juices flow. Take for example the picture above. This highly creative and well executed wine label was printed and finished via a CX1200e/FX1200e Label Printer/Finisher. The result is a startling fusion of design, creativity and application of a stunning label only made possible by the flexibility afforded by owning your own label printer.

In the past our customers have been very impressed with speed, quality and efficiency of the LX400 and LX800 printers. And feedback about the LX900 series has been magnificent. The LX900 offers an unbelievable throughput via a print speed that has to be seen to be believed.

The printed labels look amazing with matt, gloss, satin and water resistant finishes. If you are serious about selling your own specialist product then you know that branding and presentation are crucial to your success. Save time and money whilst enjoying the flexibility to really create and define your style as you want it. In these fast paced times you’re better placed to meet the changing tastes of your consumers if you have access to your own high speed and professional printers.

Callum Walker – CD-writer.com trainee engineer reflects on the nature of being B-Grade

Callum here, trainee engineer (A-grade) at CD-Writer.com. I just wanted to tell you all about some great deals we have on some of our B-Grade duplication systems. What’s important to realise is that at CD-writer.com B-Grade doesn’t mean Low-Grade – in fact our B-Grade items are probably better than some of the products you will find available as new from other retailers. Fact!

How it all began ……

One day our MD approached me and said “Callum, have you noticed the amount of new and unused components we have lying in these boxes? I’m sure we could make some sort of use from these.” “Yeah you’re right” I said, “ and we also have a lot of cases with a bit of damage like scratches on the side or dents which we can’t sell as A-Grade because we only give our customers the best!” I replied. And Vwa LA! The B-grade project was born! You see guys our B-Grade duplicators are a simple and inexpensive solution for customers looking for the best quality products without paying the full price. Does it really matter if the case has a small scratch or slight dent on the side? At the end of the day all that matters is the quality of the components and the chance to buy a product at a fair price. Right?

What’s in stock October 2011 …..

At the time of writing this post;

We have 2 x 1-7 Pro Burners (professional duplication tower), one having a hard drive installed. Both are in great condition, work perfectly and are cosmetically clean. These are returned open box products. They are neither used nor are they ex demo.

B-Grade Proburner DVD and CD Duplicator Discounted

We also have a Premium 1-11 DVD and CD duplicator which is working great but has a few scuffs on the side.

11 Target B-Grade DVD and CD duplicator

Also available for purchase is a special build 1-6 DVD and CD duplicator with Liteon drives, it works fine but the casing is a bit dodgy; it doesn’t fit on properly :S.

LiteON Drive enabled CD DVD duplicator with discount

Finally we have the StorDigital Premium 1-10 DVD CD duplicator. This was actually donated to us by one of our regular customers, the conversation went a bit like this;

“Yo Callum, I got this duplicator here innit. It don’t work properly but I don’t want it no more, my misus says it takes up too much room in my crib so it’s yours mate.” I said “Yeah safe Dave, I’m sure I can make use of it.” So I put it on my bench, ran our hygiene routine, tested it for faults and errors, changed the necessary parts and now it’s working like new! (It also comes with Pioneer drives which is a bonus for the lucky buyer ;).

Refurbed Pioneer Duplicator here

So dear customer when you buy a B-Grade duplicator from CD-Writer.com, be assured that you are not buying a low grade and poor quality product, you are buying a duplicator with a bit of cosmetic wear and tear that offers all the performance of a brand new unit.

So its simple innit at CD-Writer.com when we offer you an A, B or C its always High Grade, C, EZ AZ 1,2,3.

Please direct all enquiries for B-Grade units to myself, Callum on 020 8293 0777.

Thanks to Miko for his hard work over the last couple of months.

We have it on very good authority that LG Electonics have been undertaking some experiments to create a new hybrid mouse. The results of their first frankenstein like experiment will soon be launched onto the UK market in the form of the LG Smart Scan Mouse. Is it a mouse? Is it a scanner? No its a Smart Scan Mouse.

We think its a fantastic way to utilise the small form factor of the mouse and the optics technology therein. We all uses mice and god knows there will be plenty of place in the clouds for all the documents scattered around my office.

Interestingly – I have never had any problems making scans with cats.

You will find the LG Smart Scan Mouse available to buy now at CD-writer.com
