Maxell Corporation of
America, the technology and marketing leader in premium recordable media
products, today announced an expansion of the industry's broadest line of
recordable DVD media with the introduction of a new series of advanced DVD-R
discs that incorporate a printable surface, allowing custom printing with select
inkjet and thermal printers.
Maxell's new Printable Surface General Purpose DVD-R discs are compatible
with DVD-R recorders up to 4x. The company's newest DVD-R discs are designed for
custom printing with special CD/DVD inkjet and thermal printers or for custom
silk screening. The Printable Surface DVD allows customers to create custom
logos and program information on DVD discs without the wobble problems that can
be introduced when adhesive labels are affixed to DVD media.
Printable DVD-R discs are available with three different printing surface
options: white matte for ink jet printers, and shiny silver and shiny white,
which can be used for thermal printers and silk screening.
"Printable Surface DVD media is the ideal solution for software developers
and digital content creators who have limited run duplication requirements or
can't afford the expense of commercial DVD replication," said Peter Brinkman,
Vice President of Marketing at Maxell. "Maxell's Printable DVD media allows DVD
producers to eliminate the problems with adhesive labels and creates
professional-looking results without the time and cost penalties of sending a
job out for commercial duplication."
High capacity and extended archival life make DVD-R media an ideal medium for
capacity-intensive multimedia projects, data transfer and long-term archival
storage applications. Maxell Printable DVD-R discs deliver a capacity of 4.7 GB
and support write speeds of up to 44.32 Mbps, allowing a full 4.7 GB disc to be
recorded in just 15 minutes. Maxell's high quality organic dye recording layer
materials ensure quality recording and noise-free playback. Maxell's printable
surface DVD-R discs are write compatible with general purpose DVD-R/RW,
DVD-RAM/R, DVD-Multi and Dual DVD drives and recorders. After recording, Maxell
DVD-R discs are read compatible with DVD-ROM, DVD-Video and DVD-Audio players.
The Printable DVD-R discs are the latest addition to the industry's broadest
line of recordable DVD technology. Maxell, a market leader in recordable DVD
media, provides write-once and rewritable media or DVD-R and DVD+R recorders,
DVD-RW, DVD+RW, and DVD-RAM products, as well as compact DVD-R and DVD-RAM discs
for use in digital camcorders.
Maxell's new Printable Surface 4x DVD-R discs are currently available in
singles and 50-piece spindle packs.
