PlayO hub printable 8X DVD+/-R and 52X CD-R media

October 9, 2005

Looks
like we have a new choice for printable CD and DVD media. I have to say that I
recently purchased an Epson R200 inkjet printer for next to nothing with this
capability and I really like it a lot. Now I can make a backup of a CD for my
car player which is a slot loading 6 CD changer and not worry that it will
choke on a paper label stuck to conventional media. Not to mention the fact that
my original music CD is safe and sound in it's rack at the house.

Adding
to its popular PlayO line of recordable media and accessories, Abcron
Corporation today announced a series of White Inkjet Hub Printable DVD+/-R
and CD-R products. These PlayO 8X DVD+/-R and 52X CD-R discs allow users
to quickly record and then print directly onto the full surface of the
discs. PlayO discs are compatible with a wide range of leading inkjet
printers and provide a vibrant full color professional print quality.

Abcron Vice President of Business Development, Andy Huang, stated,
"The PlayO white Inkjet hub printable DVD+/-R and CD-R products are a
natural extension of our blank media line. They are ideal for users who
want to create a polished print finish on the entire surface of their
discs, yet still expect durability and reliability." Huang adds, "We have
packaged the PlayO DVD+/-Rs and CD-Rs in 50-pack cake boxes in order to
provide a cost-effective, competitive consumer solution."

PlayO Printable DVDs are ideal for clearly identifying and
graphically representing a wide range of projects including: archiving,
business presentations, or as a safe storage system for video, audio,
digital images or data. For example, last year's birthday party video can
be quickly identified with a glossy picture of the festivities or for
business applications, marketers can produce a DVD with brand-supporting
artwork on the DVD surface.

Currently available in 8X speeds, the PlayO inkjet printable
DVD+/-R disc features a 4.7GB storage capacity. The discs feature a high
quality white printable surface right down to the hub. Consistent
compatibility and high-quality recording with a wide range of popular DVD
drives and players mean the PlayO printable disc is ideal for most copying
needs where an affordable, customized disc face is required.

Each PlayO disc is rigorously tested to ensure reliability in a
variety of recording situations. In addition to having a very low error
and jitter rate, the discs are UV and heat resistant and conform to
industry standards. The discs are also tested for superior colorfastness
and fast ink drying times.
