Ok, I have to admit that I am a bit of a luddite when it comes to mobile technology. My day to day phone is an old Nokia – that’s never let me down. People say to me.. “hey tony when are you going to upgrade that old phone” – i don’t have an answer. The obvious upgrade would be to join the iPhone masses, but I have always had reservations about the closed policies that Apple adopt. Equally I have never been one to buy into trends, i would rather define my phone than have my phone define me. For that reason I have been holding out for android, or even windows 7 mobile. In my heart I need to know that whatever I buy truly represents a turning point in technology (ala iphone – damn steve jobs). So whilst I may not be ready to commit to a phone that will rule my life I am more than happy to explore the opportunities afforded by the new array handheld tablet PCs, specifically those that may offer a credible alternatives to any device prefixed with an (i).
As an individual and director of a technology company I have been investigating the opportunities of bringing a hand held touch screen device to market for some years. I have several brand names waiting in the wings, like ITSAtouch, PalmWalker and LapWalker. So it is with much delight that I now find myself in receipt of a china made, 7″ resistive touch device running android 2.1.
Fortunately for me I have never owned an iphone or ipad. If I had surely this £100 device would be the object of mockery and ridicule, constantly considered as a me too wannabe. Since I am lacking this bench mark I can hand on heart say that I have been suitably impressed with the Storage Options Scroll Tablet PC. The device itself looks and feels like a iphone type product. It is light and slender and is appointed with mini SD and USB expansion ports. The Scroll does not have a 3G option so when you are out of range of wifi you can still use your donwloaded apps or us the device as a feature rich media player, supporting HDMI out. Yes the Scroll Tablet comes with an HDMI port meaning you an watch your favourite downloads either on the train or on your HD TV. The unit also has a G-sensor to adjust viewing orientation, a web cam, 2GB on board flash memory, 800Mhz processor and a battery that support 4 hours of working time.
It should be noted that the scroll has a resistive touch screen rather than a capacitive touch screen meaning it can’t support the multi touch functions apple users may be familiar with. However, after browsing the APP market place you soon discover that many of the your favourite iphone apps have been ported over the android. The built in browser works a treat, its fast and renders standard web pages quickly and with clarity. The touch sensitive drag/scroll and zoom functions work well via the resistive touch screen.
The device seems to be running a version of android designed for mobile v2.1. This means that some of the features orientated towards phones won’t work. Other moans might be that they have located a sleep button in the top left corner of the tablet in just the place you would grab the device in normal handling. This means you can quite easily put the device into sleep mode whilst handling. Boot up time might also be considered a little slow but nothing to painfull.
However; android seems to be much more about openness and accessibility, and certainly the entry price proves this point. As an entry level product I would say that the Scroll Tablet PC ticks 4 out of 5 boxes and leads me to believe that 2011 will be the year that android may steal the market. Certainly if you want to enter the tablet PC market and don’t want to shell out on an iPAD then the Scroll is the perfect option. Certainly this cheap as chips device has found a place in my life as the device of choice for casual lounge room browsing, remote social networking and Sunday morning lay-in news harvesting.

WHO CAN SAVE THE UNIVERSE?
For many aspirational disc producers a fully automated DVD and CD publisher looks like the holy grail of the duplication world. A machine that can both copy and print discs in large batches without any human intervention. Automated disc publishers like those from Primera do offer a fantastic out of the box solution for the unattended production of 100’s of CD’s, DVDs and Blu-Ray. But, whilst entry level disc publishers of this type do exactly what they say on the box, they are not ideal for everybody.ink-jet disc printer.
The problem with disc publishers is that they are not scalable. The volume of your throughput is always determined by the imitations of the machine. Most £2000 automated disc publishers will have 1 or 2 disc burners built into the system, running alongside 1 inkjet printer.
When customers fist discover the opportunity afforded by disc publisher they often think that because it is automated they will be able to do a very high volume of discs. They are surprised to hear that the opposite is usually true. 2 optical disc recorders may produce a maximum of 2 4.7GB DVDs in 8 – 10 minutes, that’s 12-14 per hour. This is perfect if you have 24 hours to produce 100 discs, but what happens if you need to produce 200 discs in this time, or you copy the wrong content for you client by mistake, with a deadline that’s just 60 minutes away.
If you are thinking of starting a duplication business or building a requirement for disc duplication into your business then you should consider the following aspects:
01) What is your monthly production requirement
02) What is the maximum throughput of the equipment you intend to purchase
03) How scalable do you require the solution to be, ie do you need to account for growth
04) Do you require any redundancy, ie is the duplication hardware business critical and what will be the result if the hardware fails
05) Ease of maintenance and serviceability, ie how easy will it be to get your hardware fixed outside of warranty
At CD-writer.com Ltd we have been disccusing these aspects with customers every day for over 10 years. By talking to us we can help ensure you make the correct purchase decision. Surprisingly many, new to the industry over look the most obvious, most versatile and most profitable solution to their business needs.
The standalone tower Tower CD DVD Duplicator, combined with and automated disc printer, in our opinion offers a far better solution for most customers than an entry level disc publisher, and it will cost less too.
When you invest in a tower disc copier you will usually get from 7 to 15 target drives. Thats up to 15 times the production capacity of single drive publisher. Whats more because the resources on tower duplicator are dedicated they will operate up to 50% faster than burners in a PC hosted unit. So now we are looking at producing over 20X more DVD per hour than with a single drive publisher. Instead of producing a mere 6 DVDs per hour you are now producing 120, that’s easily over 1000 DVDs in an 8 hour working day.
But what about my disc printing I hear you cry! Well, there are many great automated disc printing solutions that feature the same advanced robotic disc loading systems as the publishers, but at a fraction of the cost. When you separate the printing process from the duplication process you are essentially getting much more control over the speed of production and a much great choice of printers. For example when producing Cd’s in a publisher the printing process may bottleneck the throughput when printing complex full colour, full face images. With an automated printer you can print a single disc in as little as 8 seconds, that’s probably an average of 6 per minute (including loading) with minimum print coverage. Suddenly, when combined with your manually operated tower disc copier you’ll find that you have real potential to make money by delivering large, complex duplication jobs in the shortest possible time.
Once you have established a stable business from delivering high quality product on time you should look at investing in either a complimentary publisher to work around the clock or a larger capacity automated solution such as an MFDigital Director. More on that next time.
So, to summarise, if you know your production requirement is no more than a few hundred DVD or a thousand CD in any one week then you could just about live with a twin drive £2000 publisher. However if you think you might exceed this throughput requirement then spend less and get a whole lot more by investing in a tower copier bundled with an automated disc printer.

Do you find yourself going through print cartridges like there is no tomorrow? CD-Writer.com have got a top tip which will help you get the most from your ink cartridges when using the Primera Bravo or Primera Disc Publisher range of publishers & printers.
On most printers you can set the units to use both the colour & black cartridges when producing a print, however this does not always mean the black ink cartridge will be used if your image contains black within the design.
The image format you use can have a large effect on ink consumption, so much so it can override your settings and still use the tri-colour cartridge to produce all the black within your design. This not only wastes valuable colour ink, but almost renders your black cartridge obsolete.
To get your unit printing efficiently from the black cartridge, the system must recognise that colour as true black (#000000, R=0 G=0 B=0). To do this, ensure your original artwork is in an uncompressed file format. The best to use would be BMP or TIF files. As they are uncompressed, the black within the image will be recognised as true black, and thus the system will use the black cartridge to make your design.
Avoid compressed image formats such as JPG, GIF, PNG and PDF files. More often than not the compression will cause a slight change in the colour, and while images may appear black when viewing them, the printer interprets them as colour and will therefore use the colour cartridge to print your disc!
