Marketing Information |
Everest III, 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 III 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
III. 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 III 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 III
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 III 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. |
