Media Matters CD and DVD Duplication Blog

Virtually all inkjet based CD/DVD disc printers on the market now use Hewlett Packard derived print engines, be they from R-Quest, Verity Systems, Microboards or Rimage, the only exception being Primera who don’t use HP, and Epson, who obviously use their own printing technology.

Media Matters: Duplication Consumables

Cartridge based disc printing is fine for most applications, but for companies that produce a larger run of discs each month (typically 4000 and above), cartridges based printing can prove quite expensive.  With all new inkjet disc printers using “chipped” cartridges, the cost in ink per disc can typically be 20 pence, and maybe as much as 40 pence, depending on the artwork being printed and which manufacturers printer.

So for those companies with a higher throughput the savings that can be found from a bulk ink CD printer can be considerable. Instead of 20 pence per disc (or still 12 pence per disc with compatible or refill cartridges) a bulk ink printer such as the IMT Marathon 300 will cost approximately 2p a disc – a huge saving. On a production run of 4000 discs per month this will equate to somewhere between 10 and 18 pence per disc. To put it another way, the annual saving will be a minimum of £4800 and perhaps as much as £8600.00, easily paying for a Marathon printer in the first year of production.

Disc Duplication: Bulk Ink Disc Printing vs Cartridges

So even with a smaller monthly production of say 2000 discs, an IMT Marathon printer will still pay for itself in around 2 – 3 years, or for higher throughputs in as a little as six months!

Silent City Streets is a modern and engaging educational resource, providing interactive tools to help a teacher deliver invaluable discussions around personal and road safety issues.

Each group will be investigating the community’s reaction to a collision involving a vehicle and a pedestrian. Each member of the group is given an investigation disc to explore individually and draw their own conclusions about the events that have unfolded.

Once the group have investigated, the teacher leads a group session in which everyone will discuss their views and opinions. This will be

guided by the teacher with the aid of a discussion guideline stored as a printable file on the discussion disc. The resource is a great way to get your class thinking about the power of their own decisions and how the choices they make have a direct impact on their personal safety.

Silent City DVD promotion

Media Matters were commissioned to provide the finished DVD (via Media Matters’ Disc Duplication Service) for this project along with a card sleeve for each disc. The discs were then packed to a custom designed carton with a printed outer sleeve. Each carton contains 30 copies of the disc along with a teacher disc and 8 page booklet.

We are pleased to say that this is the third such road safety project that we have  undertaken for Studio Distract, previous projects have been; Street Moves (which was extremely successful with a production run of over 50,000 discs) and Wrecked! As with Silent City Streets, all these projects have been designed to get youngsters to think about their personal safety whilst out and about.

Truenet CD/DVD Networking Software

Media Matters Technology and R-quest Truenet
Unlike any other CD/DVD (and Blu-ray) duplication system, Truenet from R-Quest does not require any software to be installed on a PC or Mac to operate. You have complete control of all the facilities of the duplicator (job queuing, disc print and design etc) via a web browser. So long as your computer system has a web browser with a current version of Java, Truenet will run. Truenet also has the all the user rights and permissions that you would expect of a CD/DVD duplication system designed for corporate wide operation with multiple users.

So what I hear you say! But imagine purchasing a CD/DVD publishing system for your company, you have perhaps a 100 users on your network and 30 of them need to have the ability to create a CD or DVD. With any other system, you would need to install the networking and graphics programs (which could quite possibly be a completely separate packages) individually to 30 machines, you would then have to set up the user permissions for each person. And then a few months down the line, a new version of software is required – installation again for all 30 computers.

With the Truenet system, you plug the duplicator on to your network, the system acquires an IP address from the server, as the IT manager, you key in the allocated IP address of the system (All R-Quest systems will display their IP address by holding the stop key on the front of the unit), you set up the user rights and log in details for each operator, with the NS2100 and NS4500 models you also allocate which hopper contains which media (the NS4500 can hold up to 5 different media types simultaneously). You then just need to provide each user with the IP address for their web browser and their log in details. Job done. At software update time, you install the latest firmware to the R-Quest disc publisher and that’s it!

So Truenet really is the way forward, with it, you can create multi disc sets, drag and drop mastering, easily repeat or restart jobs, change job priorities, create printed discs with unique fields or serialisation. And with the built in API functionality any R-Quest disc publisher can be incorporated in to your other corporate systems.
