Discproducer
PP-100 systems

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. And if you want to
print batches? Again, it's simple - the
Discproducer
PP-100 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
Discproducer
PP-100 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. |
|
|
|
AcuGrip Technology Ensures
Single Feed of Media |
 Unlike
other disc publishers, the Discproducer
PP-100 features
patented AcuGrip picking technology which
ensures that only one disc is placed in the
drive or printer even if two are stuck
together. The arm has a guide that places it
in the center of the disc. Then three
independently powered fingers extend to
separate the top disc from the remaining
discs. Finally the peel off lever (or kicker
lever) lifts the top disc for
transportation. If more than one disc
is lifted, they will be put in the reject
stacker or the system will indicate an error
has occurred. This technology not only
increases the life of the product, but helps
protect against the interruption of
unattended production runs due to mechanical
blockage. |

MicroPiezo Technology is
Core to Epson Print Quality |
 MicroPiezo®
print heads are at the heart of every Epson
ink jet printer. These print heads
spray ink through microscopic nozzles, or
holes on the print head. Each of these
nozzles has tiny, piezo electric elements,
which vibrate tens of thousands of times per
second, allowing the nozzle to fire ink
droplets onto the disc at extremely rapid
rates. No heat is involved in the
printing. This ensures greater
accuracy when firing ink droplets precisely
onto the disc. And, it gives the
printer greater control over ink droplet
size. MicroPiezo technology ensures
uniform, stable ink droplets with virtually
no satellites or misting, all of which means
you get the high quality results you’d
expect from Epson. |

Building on the Strength
and Experience of Epson Robotics |
 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
Discproducer
PP-100
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.

Protecting against printing without ink
Unlike other systems in its class, the
Discproducer PP-100 shows ink level status, using
an LED for each individual color. This can be
important, as it allows the printing process to be
manually or automatically interrupted in the case of a
near-empty cartridge. A situation where the
system is printing without ink can cause damage and
waste.
Micro
Piezo™ printing with six colors
There are many advanced features which make the
Discproducer PP-100
unique in its class -
and one of these is its patented Micro Piezo™ ink
system. Using six - instead of the usual four -
colors, it delivers the level of photorealistic image
quality often associated with digital art printing.
And that's not all. Epson's Micro Piezo™
technology also protects against striation and ink
bleed, and allows ultra-fine color graduation plus
razor-sharp text - even in small font sizes.
Cost-effective and flexible
With the ability to produce over 1,000 discs,
depending on the print image, from each set of
cartridges, the
Discproducer
PP-100
delivers an attractively low cost per page. |
