Three trays of 50 discs each allow fully automatic production runs up to 100. An additional drawer allows the removal of individual discs. This makes problems due to unreadable discs easy to resolve. PP-100 systems can be stacked to save valuable space. The Epson quality hallmark When you build industrial robots, you learn about quality, reliability and precision engineering. And Epson is a world-leader in the design, development and manufacture of such robots as for medical technology and airbag testing. That's why our other products are so reliable ­ because they are built on the platform of knowledge and experience gained from the robotics environment. The Epson DiscproducerTM is a perfect example. Its compact design, coupled with its dust-proof body and a minimum of moving parts, delivers precision performance, superb reliability and amazingly low running costs. Individual or batch production If you need to burn and print an individual disc, no problem ­ you can have it at the touch of a button. Again, it's simple ­ the Epson DiscproducerTM has three trays for 50 discs, allowing up to 100 discs to be produced in one work cycle. It also has an additional drawer for up to 5 discs, so individual CD/DVD blanks can be conveniently removed without having to open the housing. Compact all-in-one design With a housing that's less than 40 cm wide, the Epson DiscproducerTM is one of the smallest systems in its class. In fact, it's the only system in its segment that offers the ergonomic advantages of being operated totally from the front. Its flat housing means you can stack two systems to save space, and ­ if required ­ the top can also be used as a handy storage surface, ideal for media and print cartridges. Patented AcuGripTM robotic arm Specially designed for the Epson DiscproducerTM, the AcuGripTM mechanism ensures that the robotic arm reliably grabs only one CD/ DVD blank - even if they're stuck together. This increases the life of the product and helps protect against the interruption of unsupervised production runs due to mechanical blockage. If you're looking for top class, reliable, high-performance inkjet printing for your CDs/DVDs, plus an amazingly low cost of ownership ­ you've just found it! Protecting against printing without ink Unlike other systems in its class, the Epson DiscproducerTM shows ink level status, using an LED for each individual colour.
