CHATSWORTH, Calif., Sept. 18, 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 today it is shipping the 1:4 DVD/CD Tower Publisher HLS with a more powerful Aleratec Disc Publishing Software Suite and the industry's fastest DVDRW LightScribe recorders. The Publishing Tower supports up to four simultaneous DVD/CD copies, recordings, or produces up to four Silk Screen Quality LightScribe labeled discs. The 1:4 DVD/CD Tower Publisher HLS is a DVD/CD duplicator with LightScribe technology that simultaneously laser burns custom labels directly on DVD/CD discs like its predecessor, except it can duplicate discs even faster. Customers can create their own custom labels, with text and graphics, using the unique Aleratec Disc Publishing Software Suite, included free with purchase.
"We have been pleased with the broad acceptance of our 1:4 towers and we are confident that the faster 1:4 DVD/CD Tower Publisher HLS will be even more successful," stated Perry Solomon, President and CEO. "The new 1:4 DVD/CD Tower Publisher HLS comes with a new Aleratec Disc Publishing Software Suite that is Windows Vista compatible and can duplicate more discs in less time than its predecessor. LightScribe disc labeling to multiple drives 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
"The 1:4 DVD/CD Tower Publisher HLS is an elegant and simple DVD/CD publishing system, and it immediately benefits from the recent LightScribe image enhancements released last month," said Kent Henscheid, Marketing Manager for LightScribe.. "We believe the Aleratec 1:4 DVD/CD Tower Publisher HLS is another example of the perfect fit of LightScribe technology with DVD/CD disc publishing from Aleratec."
The 1:4 DVD/CD Tower Publisher HLS (Aleratec Part No. 260160, Ingram Micro SKU No. M46536), is the next generation Aleratec LightScribe DVD/CD Production Publisher. The 1:4 DVD/CD Tower Publisher HLS has a low Estimated Retail Price of $739 making the 1:4 DVD/CD Tower Publisher HLS, the second generation disc publishing system ideal for Prosumer, Corporate, Government, Education, and House of Worship applications.
