Versatile Recording Media Line Makes It Possible for Anyone to Create Discs With a Professional, Fully Finished Appearance
At CES 2005, TDK, a world leader in digital recording solutions, today announced that it has begun shipping its innovative PrintOn DVD recordable media line. The progressive new media products enable customers to personalize every aspect of a disc by printing colorful, eye-catching images, text and graphics directly on the DVD surface itself. Available in three products that are all formulated specifically for direct-on-disc printing, PrintOn recordable DVD media offers customers an advanced alternative to labeling kits and marker pens. TDK PrintOn DVD media is designed for use with compatible inkjet printers, such as Epson Stylus? Photo series of disc-printable models.
Chris Bailey, TDK Director of Recording Media, noted, "In a relatively short period of time, DVD has become a mainstream recording format for home and business applications. Although today?s customers rely on DVD media to store important data and cherished memories, they haven?t ? until now ? had an opportunity to create discs that have a fully finished, totally professional appearance." He continued: "By giving customers the ability to easily create DVDs that equal the appearance of professionally produced discs, the new PrintOn DVD line blurs the distinction between discs that were inexpensively recorded at home and those that were created with large production budgets."
Three Exciting PrintOn DVD Products Provide Versatile Printing Options
To satisfy a broad customer base, TDK will offer three PrintOn DVD products ? PrintOn DVD Photo Quality, PrintOn DVD White Matte, and PrintOn DVD Color Matte. All three products will be available in both DVD+R and DVD-R formats, in a variety of pack configurations, including spindles and DVD-style movie cases.
The flagship product, PrintOn DVD Photo Quality, incorporates a high gloss, inkjet-ready surface that enables printing high-resolution, color-accurate images and graphics on the disc. With PrintOn DVD Photo Quality, reproduction of image files captured by today?s high-megapixel digital cameras is literally picture-perfect, and text, such as DVD chapter names, appear crisp and clear on the disc surface.
PrintOn DVD White Matte is ideally suited for a variety of applications ranging from the distribution of corporate reports to sharing birthday videos and photos. Featuring a white matte, inkjet ready finish, PrintOn DVD White Matte gives images printed on the disc surface a softer, classic appearance. Text has a professional look and is highly legible even when printed in a small font.
PrintOn DVD Color Matte also has a matte, inkjet ready finish, but adds a colorful twist. Each disc?s printable surface is tinted in one color ? red, blue, green, gold or silver. Similar to using colored paper, printed images and text take on a distinctive, fun look, but still retain their professionally-printed quality. PrintOn DVD Color Matte discs are a great way to spice up basic label designs without any extra effort.
Best of all, TDK?s new PrintOn DVD discs are manufactured to Certified Plus quality standards, ensuring that discs will have the highest degree of data integrity ? along with great looks. TDK?s comprehensive line of Certified Plus recordable DVD discs make it easier than ever for customers to enjoy the benefits of high-quality DVD recording. TDK recordable DVD media ensures error-free burning and the widest compatibility with drives and players.
Estimated street prices are as follows: PrintOn DVD Photo Quality, $3.99 each; PrintOn DVD White Matte, $1.99 each; and PrintOn DVD Color Matte, $9.99 5-pack. |
