Enter the number of published discs needed and DVD/CD RoboRacer LS Duplex will automatically produce up to 100 DVD/CD copies with silk screen quality labels with no operator intervention.
“Since the introduction of LightScribe, publishing complete discs meant that the discs had to be manually flipped over after burning data or LightScribe labeling. Cost effectively making the disc flipping process truly automatic was the technological challenge,” stated Perry Solomon, Aleratec President and CEO. “With the DVD/CD RoboRacer LS Duplex, Aleratec innovation completes the disc loading, unloading, and flipping process automatically with only 6 moving parts completely enclosed in a low cost and attractive desktop unit. Now true unattended LightScribe publishing is affordable and readily available for all Prosumer, Government, Education, Worship, SMB users, anyone looking for an economical way to project their message on attractive, professional, silk screen quality labeled DVDs or CDs.”
In LightScribe optical drives, the laser burns one side of the disc only – either while labeling or data writing. LightScribe discs have a data side and a LightScribe label side. To do both data recording and LightScribe labels, discs must be flipped over and re-introduced in the LightScribe drive.
“A key prosumer disc publishing requirement is to fully automate both data recording and labeling processes”, stated Kent Henscheid, LightScribe Marketing Manager. “This new Aleratec innovation delivers fully automatic operation and affords the benefit of unattended LightScribe disc publishing to a wide array of users, including small business.”
The Aleratec DVD/CD RoboRacer LS Duplex (Aleratec Part No. 280111, Ingram Micro SKU V06234, Tech Data SKU 90844M), proudly assembled in the USA from components sourced globally, automatically records data and LightScribe labels up to 100 discs completely unattended at a low Estimated U.S. Retail Price of $1049.
