AutoPrinter comes equipped with a 400-bin carousel. This carousel has a 300 disc input capacity with the remaining bin used for output. When the first input bin is empty it becomes the second output bin, and so on. In this manner, an AutoPrinter can print up to 300 discs without a single operator intervention.

AutoPrinter comes with Rimage's state of the art Producer series robotics. These robotics are driven by a closed loop servo motor system and a reinforced, toothed belt. The picker rides on roller bearings and slide rails and takes only 2 seconds per movement. The picker is steel and will pick from a plane of 85° - 95°.

AutoPrinter comes with CD Designer, software to create the artwork for your discs and to drive the printer. CD Designer has a complete set of file import capabilities, text creation capabilities, object creation tools, bar code generation and more.

For optimum throughput, ease of use, and support that is tops in the industry - Rimage AutoPrinters are the clear choice.

More details about Rimage Everest III

Patented Retransfer Printing Process
The Everest III utilizes Rimage's patented retransfer printing process. The CMY panels are first printed to a clear retransfer ribbon inside the printer. Then, using heat and pressure, the printed image and a layer of the clear ribbon are applied to the disc. The finished product emerges dry, durable, and ready to handle. The final effect is amazing - a colorful, high resolution, disc with your choices of photos, graphics, text, bar codes, you name it - in less than 57 seconds.

CD-Designer Label Creation Software Included
CD-Designer label creation software is also included with the Everest III. This software allows the you to import graphics and text. Features include serialization, bar codes, and data merging capabilities. However, you don't need to be limited to the tools provided because the printer works well with such industry-standard software as Adobe?Illustrator? Adobe?Photoshop? Macromedia?FreeHand? QuarkExpress? and CorelDRAW? Graphic designers can compose labels using their choice of software.

UV Protected Ink
The pigmented ink on the Everest III ribbons is UV protected, ensuring vibrant colors throughout the life of a disc. Everest III disc printing will pass any sunshine or dashboard test you devise - a significant advantage over other disc printers. And because the ink is not water based, you will never see a smeared Everest III disc. Everest III printing also won't scratch off, you'll ruin the disc before you can scratch the label. This enables discs to be used for commercial distribution because Everest III printed discs can withstand the rigors of day-to-day consumer handling.

Dot Technology
The Everest III employs an innovative variable dot technology, where the dots composing an image vary in size, resulting in sharper images with greater detail. In addition, the MicroDry ink is actually a thermal resin that contains pigment. This dry technology produces a dot with a fine edge. Consequently, dots per inch, or DPI, does not accurately reflect the print resolution. A better measure is lines per inch (LPI), and that is where Everest III truly shines. Silk-screen printing typically produces 85-120 LPI, and magazines are generally offset printed at 150 LPI. Everest III prints labels at 173 LPI color or monochrome, that is better than silk-screen!
