Wide range of applications
Whether you need to burn and print a few CDs or DVDs at a time or up to 100,
Epson’s easy-to-use, feature-packed Discproducer is the answer. It’s ideal for a
wide range of businesses and organizations, from duplication service providers,
schools and universities to professional photographers, kiosk applications and
corporate communication centers.
Built to perform
With its rugged, compact all-in-one design, dust-proof case and minimum number
of moving parts, Epson’s Discproducer delivers high performance, fast throughput
and top reliability. Its robotic arm with AcuGrip™ technology virtually
eliminates two-disc feeding that can damage discs and interrupt unsupervised
production runs. In addition, everything can be quickly accessed from the front
of the machine for easy operation and maintenance.
Best-in-class printing
The Epson Discproducer features a built-in Epson inkjet printer with Epson’s
patented MicroPiezo® technology. Using six colors instead of the common
four, it delivers the highest print quality available in its class for crisp,
clear text and vibrant graphics at up to 1440 x 1440 dpi resolution. And
with just one set of high-capacity ink cartridges, you can print over 1,000
discs.* In addition, ink level status is shown with an LED readout for each
color to prevent printing without ink.
