Overview

ISO Archival Publishers

Microboards’ award-winning Disc Publishers are available in a custom configuration that integrates a special recorder approved by the ISO-certified archival process. Combined with ISO-Archival Media from JVC, applications with critical, long-life data requirements can automatically print (label) and record a disc that is certified for 30+ years of data integrity! Archival Publishers work with both specialized ISO-certified archival discs from JVC, and with standard media.

This G4 publisher features Teac's ISO-compliant DVD/CD recorder drive, ideal for archiving data to JVC's ISO certified archival DVD-Rs. These drives provide the most suitable laser power for burning these archival DVD-R discs, which helps to minimize the occurrence of writing errors. The drives also feature a self-diagnostic function, which prevents drives from running under unfavorable conditions, further minimizing the risk of high error rates.

Of course, this G4 publisher is not just for archiving. It is also ideal for your day-to-day disc publishing needs. With a capacity of up to 50 discs, this publisher is perfect for organizations that print and/or burn up to 100 discs in a typical week. With print resolutions up to 4800 dpi, you'll be able to produce amazing, professional disc labels, at a reasonable print cost of about $0.25 per disc for full-color, full-coverage prints.

What is ISO 10995?
ISO 10995 is the international standard currently set to test DVD+/-R/RW/RAM discs. The standard, established in April 2008 in Japan, specifies a the test method for estimating the archival lifetime of optical media. It uses an accelerated aging test method for estimating the life expectancy for the retrievability of information stored on recordable or rewritable optical discs. JVC’s specialized optical disc created for long-term storage are the only ISO 10995 certified disc for data archival. Each disc is carefully constructed with a super silver alloy reflector, further enhancing its long-term storage capability.

The ISO-certified solution to the problem of long-term data archival combines three products: First, an optical disc optimized for optimum long-term storage made in Japan. Second, a recorder that maintains an extremely low error rate of recording signal default characteristics. Lastly, an inspection device that precisely measures error rates. Combined, users can be absolutely assured of long-term data storage and retrieval by means of optical disc technology. Microboards’ Archival Publishers feature an integrated drive, allowing users to automate the labeling and recording of discs adherent to the ISO 10995 standard.
