Microboards MX-1 CD/DVD Disc PublisherWhen it comes to disc production in high volumes, the Microboards MX series is hard to beat in terms of speed, ease, quality, reliability, and cost. At a cost per disc of only 11 to 18 cents for a typical full-coverage print and as low as 2 cents for light, text-only coverage, you can produce professionally finished CDs and DVDs for a lot less than it would cost to outsource production. You get the same or better quality with a solution built on proven HP inkjet technology, including vibrant HP Vivera inks and the highest (4800 x 1200 dpi) resolution. And our 4th generation disc handling technology reduces vibrations during the printing process, so you’re assured smooth, clean text and images on finished discs. A 100-disc capacity and throughput of over 500 discs per week (for the MX-2) mean you can effortlessly produce discs in mass quantities. Simply set up your project and walk away; the MX/PF-Pro series, with Microboards’ enhanced automation for reliable loading and unloading of discs, handles the rest. The MX/PF-Pro series includes the MX-1 and MX-2 Disc Publishers , with one and two high-speed 20X DVD, 48X CD recorders, respectively, enabling you to record or copy virtually any disc format, including Dual Layer. Also included in the series is the autoprinter-only version, the PF-Pro High Volume Printer , which utilizes MX-2. |
