400, which is an enhanced version of Rimage's pioneering
thermal retransfer printing technology, enables users to create
custom, colorful, high-resolution labels bonded directly to
the surface of CDs and DVDs - a permanent solution essential
for many retail, medical and banking/finance applications. Enhancements
include increased color accuracy, added hardware and software
functionality, and enhanced ribbon communication, resulting
in a combination of unmatched reliability, long print run capabilities,
print permanence and the industry's lowest cost per disc.
The Everest 400 utilizes Rimage's patented retransfer printing
process. The CMY panels are first printed to a clear retransfer
ribbon inside the printer. Then, using heat and pressure, the
printed image and a layer of the clear ribbon are applied to
the disc. The finished product emerges dry, durable, and ready
to handle. The final effect is amazing - a colorful, high resolution,
disc with your choices of photos, graphics, text, bar codes,
you name it - in less than 57 seconds.
CD-Designer label creation software is also included with the
Everest 400. This software allows the you to import graphics
and text. Features include serialization, bar codes, and data
merging capabilities. However, you don't need to be limited
to the tools provided because the printer works well with such
industry-standard software as Adobe® Illustrator®, Adobe® Photoshop®,
Macromedia® FreeHand®, QuarkExpress®, and CorelDRAW®. Graphic
designers can compose labels using their choice of software.
The pigmented ink on the Everest 400 ribbons is UV protected,
ensuring vibrant colors throughout the life of a disc. Everest
III disc printing will pass any sunshine or dashboard test you
devise - a significant advantage over other disc printers. And
because the ink is not water based, you will never see a smeared
Everest III disc. Everest 400 printing also won't scratch off,
you'll ruin the disc before you can scratch the label. This
enables discs to be used for commercial distribution because
Everest III printed discs can withstand the rigors of day-to-day
consumer handling.
The Everest 400 employs an innovative variable dot technology,
where the dots composing an image vary in size, resulting in
sharper images with greater detail. In addition, the MicroDry
ink is actually a thermal resin that contains pigment. This
dry technology produces a dot with a fine edge. Consequently,
dots per inch, or DPI, does not accurately reflect the print
resolution. A better measure is lines per inch (LPI), and that
is where Everest III truly shines. Silk-screen printing typically
produces 85-120 LPI, and magazines are generally offset printed
at 150 LPI. Everest III prints labels at 160 LPI color or monochrome,
that is better than silk-screen!
Full color printing for photo-realistic images, monocolor printing
for special effects or economy, white media, silver media -
all are possible with Everest. The Everest III can print up
to 1000 discs unattended, making it perfect for long printing
runs. The Everest III printing ribbons are on an easy-to-change
carriage so even when a ribbon change is required, it's easy
and can be done in less than a minute.
This
model is not only available as an integrated component.
