and increased clarity and crispness. Everest II provides outstanding
results again and again.
The Best Technology Now Also The Best
Value
"The original Everest truly changed what
was possible for CD/DVD on-demand printing. It was our goal for the next
generation Everest printer to be a truly no compromise solution--completely
flexible to print any kind of artwork and significantly faster," observed Dave
Suden, Chief Technology Officer. "Just as important, in order for Everest to be
accessible to the widest possible audience, we made a considerable reduction in
the cost per label. Now, Everest users are able to produce full-coverage,
full-color, photographic quality discs at less than $0.30 per label. Couple that
with a wide range of affordable, Everest compatible media, and you have a major
cost savings on every disc produced. Everest II is exactly what we set out to
create, a truly no compromise solution: the best print quality, the fastest
print technology, a remarkably low cost per disc, and the permanence and
durability that Everest has always been known
for."
