CHATSWORTH, Calif., Sept. 24, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Aleratec, Inc., leading developer and manufacturer of Aleratec Award Winning "Prosumers' Choice" solutions for the Blu-ray, DVD/CD, USB duplicating, and DVD/CD publishing markets announced it is now shipping the 1:3 DVD/CD Tower Publisher HLS, a more compact, lighter LightScribe disc publishing tower that is easy to move where it is needed. The 1:3 DVD/CD Tower Publisher HLS can produce up to three simultaneous DVD/CD copies, recordings, or produces up to three silkscreen-quality LightScribe labeled discs with the latest Aleratec Disc Publishing Software Suite and the industry's fastest DVDRW LightScribe recorders. The 1:3 DVD/CD Tower Publisher HLS incorporates LightScribe disc labeling technology that laser burns custom labels directly on DVD/CD discs. Customers can create their own custom labels, with text and graphics, using the powerful Aleratec Disc Publishing Software Suite, included free with purchase.
"Our Prosumer users have told us they needed a publishing tower that anyone can use and could be easily moved. We have listened and the result is the 1:3 DVD/CD Tower Publisher HLS with even faster LightScribe DVDRW recorders. We included a new, more intuitive Aleratec Disc Publishing Software Suite that is Vista compatible and we are confident that the faster 1:3 DVD/CD Tower Publisher HLS will be a winner where professionally publishing moderate quantities of clearly labeled discs is important," stated Perry Solomon, President and CEO. "Disc publishing to multiple drives simultaneously is a rapidly growing application of LightScribe Technology, and it's only from Aleratec. Per disc production time is dramatically reduced and there is no printer required, filling the void between one-off publishers and robotic systems."
LightScribe technology is an integrated system that combines LightScribe enabled DVD/CD recorders with specially coated media and the powerful Aleratec Disc Publishing Software Suite to produce precise, laser-etched, silkscreen quality labels with superior sharpness and clarity. There is no need for a printer that usually requires expensive proprietary consumables.
