Verbatim Announces White Inkjet-printable DVD+R DL Media for 2.4x-6x DL
Drives
CHARLOTTE,
NC (July 14, 2005) '“ Verbatim Corporation, the market leader in high-quality
printable media, announced today white inkjet-printable DVD+R Double-Layer
(DL)-certified media for 2.4X to 6X DL drives. Packaged in 20-disc
spindles, the new 8.5GB/240-minute discs feature an advanced inkjet-printable
surface that provides remarkable ink absorption and excellent drying
properties. Verbatim's new printable +R DL media is the only media that
delivers the highest performance enabled by the latest 4x and 5x DL
drives, as well as new 6x drives from Pioneer and Plextor. The higher
performance that Verbatim media provides make it ideal for short-run and mass
duplication content developers, service bureaus and corporate publishing
organizations as well as consumers.
By
combining an innovative inkjet-printable surface with the quality and
reliability of Verbatim DL media, users can be confident of printing
high-resolution graphics and text without having to worry about the quality of
the recording.
Double-layer
media offers distinct advantages for storing volumes of digital content because
it provides nearly twice the storage capacity of a single-layer 4.7GB disc
without having to flip sides or change discs. Verbatim inkjet-printable
DVD+R DL media provides the added benefit of being able to print full-color
reproductions of text, logos and graphics directly onto the disc for a
professional look.
'These
capabilities make the media ideal for content developers, businesses and
consumers that want a high-quality solution for distributing or identifying
volumes of personal video or data," said Ron Hanafin, Verbatim Product Marketing
Manager. 'Companies that are creating DVD presentations and educational
materials in-house will now be able to distribute 8.5GB of data or up to four
hours of video on a single disc that is professional in appearance and
performance."
Produced
to quality standards that are second to none, Verbatim's new inkjet-printable
media is fully compatible with the DVD+R DL specification endorsed by the DVD+RW
Alliance.
The
Double-Layer
DVD+R technology it incorporates was developed by Verbatim's parent company,
Mitsubishi® Kagaku Media (MKM) Group.
For
users, full compliance with the DL standard means Verbatim DVD+R DL discs
recorded using a DVD+ double-layer burner can be played back by most of the DVD
players on the market. The premium-quality media has also been tested and
qualified for use with leading DVD+R DL drives, inkjet CD/DVD printers and
autoloading duplication systems.
With a
product line that spans from inkjet-printable to thermal-printable media, white
and silver, standard printable and hub-printable, Verbatim offers the broadest
range of high-quality printable media for printers ranging from low-cost
single-disc home printers to high-volume production
systems.
Availability
Verbatim high-speed, white inkjet-printable DVD+R DL media is available
immediately through leading retailers, Internet resellers and distributors
across the country. The
suggested street price is about $169 per 20-disc
spindle.
