Aleratec Announces the First Expandable
LightScribe DVD/CD Publishing System
CHATSWORTH, Calif., June 19, 2006 -- Aleratec, developer and manufacturer of
advanced USB, DVD/CD duplicating, recording, and digital imaging solutions is
excited to announce today another "Only from Aleratec" product, the first
Expandable LightScribe DVD/CD Publishing System. The 1:2 DVD/CD Copy Cruiser Pro
LX is a stand alone 1:1 DVD/CD Duplicator; when connected to your PC via USB
2.0, it becomes a 1:2 DVD/CD Duplicator, a 2 drive external DVD/CD recorder, and
with LightScribe Direct Disc Labeling technology it can laser burn silkscreen
quality labels on 2 discs at once. This exciting new disc publisher can be
easily expanded to a DVD/CD publishing system with double this capacity. Since
the "Only from Aleratec" Software Suite included supports simultaneous use of up
to 4 drives, the 1:2 DVD/CD Copy Cruiser Pro LX is easily expanded to a desktop
publishing system capable of double capacity by simply plugging in another unit
to your PC. Now you have a 1:4 DVD/CD duplicator, a 4 drive DVD/CD recorder, a 4
drive direct to disc labeler, and two stand alone duplicators when you need
them.
"In the process of perfecting our desktop duplicators, we first added
LightScribe technology, addressing our Prosumer users' need to add silkscreen
quality labels to their discs. Further listening to our customers we found the
ability to expand the system to be the next priority in perfecting a LightScribe
publisher. Aleratec's outstanding success in the duplicator marketplace is due
to an ability to listen carefully to what the end users' pain points are and use
proprietary technology to address them in totally unique implementations that
are consistently generations ahead of the competition," stated Perry Solomon,
President and CEO of Aleratec. "The 1:2 DVD/CD Copy Cruiser Pro LS starts as an
advanced stand alone 1:1 DVD/CD Duplicator. When connected to a PC, it is a 1:2
DVD/CD Duplicator, a 2 disc LightScribe direct to disc labeler without the mess
and consumables of a printer, and a 2 disc recorder, and without compromising
any function. Now, for the most significant benefit: it is easily expandable.
You can buy only what you need now and double capacity later by just plugging in
another 1:2 DVD/CD Copy Cruiser Pro LX to your PC. Furthermore, it supports all
popular DVD/CD formats, including DVD-RAM for backup and re-writability."
LightScribe technology is an integrated system that combines LightScribe
enabled DVD/CD recorders with specially coated LightScribe certified media and
the powerful Aleratec Disc Publishing Software Suite powered by Droppix, to
produce precise, laser-etched, silkscreen quality labels with superior sharpness
and clarity. LightScribe creates great-looking CD and DVD labels right in the
drive -- no messy markers or additional printing supplies required. Just burn
your images or data onto the disc, flip the disc over to the label side,
reinsert the disc and burn a customized label.
"With LightScribe, Aleratec customers can create graphic and text CD and DVD
labels in-house that look professional," said Kent Henscheid, Marketing Manager
for LightScribe, a business unit of HP. "Whether small businesses want to burn a
few discs or many, complemented with a descriptive title, a content list,
relevant images and/or company logo on the label, this new solution by Aleratec
scales to meet their needs."
Connecting the 1:2 DVD/CD Copy Cruiser Pro LX to your computer opens the vast
array of truly unique features available only from Aleratec. Using the Special
Edition Droppix Software included, you can laser burn two labels simultaneously
or you can record two DVD/CD disc creations simultaneously. Even more exciting,
you can connect another 1:2 DVD/CD Copy Cruiser Pro LX to your PC and you can
simultaneously produce up to four DVD/CD Copies, Recordings, or Clearly Labeled
Discs. You can even mix copying discs and burning labels at the same time which
makes it perfect for one off jobs where the content and the label of each disc
is different, or you can burn up to four different discs or four different
labels at the same time.
The 1:2 DVD/CD Copy Cruiser Pro LX (Aleratec Part # 260154, Ingram Micro SKU
# K24607) is the only expandable LightScribe DVD/CD Desktop Publisher. The 1:2
DVD/CD Copy Cruiser Pro LX is a remarkable value with a low Estimated Street
