TRACE AFFEX INTRODUCES INDUSTRY’S MOST ADVANCED CD/DVD/BUSINESS CARD PUBLISHING SYSTEM WITH THREE-YEAR WARRANTY

 

UNATTENDED, AUTO-LOADING TABLETOP SYSTEM WITH 100-DISC CAPACITY DELIVERS HP COLOR INKJET PRINT QUALITY

 

San Jose, CA – February 5, 2002 – Trace Affex (www.traceaffex.com) has introduced the industry’s most advanced, fully automated and unattended, on-demand, one off CD-R/DVD-R and business card production and duplication system.  This tabletop system features fast and secure robotics, 100-disc capacity, and utilizes HP’s award-winning color inkjet technology: 2400x1200 dpi print resolution.  It also carries an unprecedented three-year warranty on robotics—three times longer than any other warranty in the industry.

 

The APS 2002 is “the latest CD/DVD publishing solution developed from our inventor alliance partnership with HP,” explained Brian McCarthy, Trace Affex vice president of sales and marketing.  “It combines HP’s full four-color printing that eliminates color separations, film and time with our proprietary, integrated robotic autoloader technology. Corporate America, service bureaus and studios get a total, encapsulated solution with disc-to-disc registrations of +/-0.002” and patent-pending, disc-locking mechanism with electronic tracking sensors.  The automatic on-the-fly loader calibration allows for continuous operation, every time.”

 

”We have designed the APS 2002 to enable our customers to duplicate and print CDs/DVDs/business cards in a single operation with the reliability, speed, value, print quality, and durability that is expected of a company that creates the standard in the industry.” McCarthy said.  “In addition to our industry-leading warranty, print quality and durability, we offer greater value with HP’s commercially available ink cartridge technology with ink cartridge life of approximately 600 CDs or DVDs, and the fastest robotic speeds in the industry.” It also features two high-speed CD/DVD burners that are fully integrated in-line with the HP printing system utilizing PoINT Publisher V5 publishing software.

 

Virtually all Microsoft Windows operating systems, and NT 4.0/2000 are compatible with the APS 2002.  Minimum system requirements are Pentium ll, 300Mhz, 64MB RAM and 100MB drive space.  Template files provided include Adobe Illustrator, PhotoShop, Corel Draw and Canvas for use with most graphics applications.  Parallel and USB cables are included.

 

MSRP for the APS 2002 is $8500 for CDs, and $9995 for DVDs and CDs.
