More capacity ... new and faster equipment

Over the year we have seen a trend where clients are placing smaller, yet more frequent orders, requiring a quicker turn-around than pressing will allow. As a consequence, we have invested in the latest high-speed technology available to increase our in-house duplication and printing capacity to cope with the higher number of discs - purchasing 2 CopyDisc OptiPrinter Platinum automated printers, and a CopyDisc 8 Platinum automated CD/DVD duplicator.

Adding just two new print systems to our existing 5 automated printers has doubled our daily output due to the very high speeds of the OptiPrinters. Although printing a disc takes just over a minute, the quality of the finish is exceptional, with accurate image positioning and vibrant colours.

Whilst printing is usually the bottleneck, the new Copydisc automated CD/DVD duplicator has given us the ability to copy both +R and -R DVD discs on the same system, and duplicate the new dual-layer DVDs, so overcoming the 4.7GB limit of the standard DVD recordable discs.

"The new equipment has made a tremendous difference to our throughput", says Tony Hart, 4B's Production Manager. "Not only have they reduced the time to set up and print discs, but they have given us extra flexibility - essential when offering quick turn-around duplication & print services like we do at 4B"
