CHATSWORTH, Calif., Oct. 22, 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 1:1 DVD/CD Copy Cruiser Pro HLS using a lighter enclosure with a new look and faster DVD LightScribe recorders. The 1:1 DVD/CD Copy Cruiser Pro HLS is the next generation of the award winning personal disc publisher that records and duplicates DVDs and CDs and produces custom silkscreen quality labels without a printer. This all in one machine can duplicate DVDs and CDs in its standalone mode with no computer required. The 1:1 DVD/CD Copy Cruiser Pro HLS produces professional looking DVD/CD copies for customers or staff anytime with the ability to create custom labels with the included Aleratec Disc Publishing Software Suite.
"LightScribe disc printing technology is perfect for DVD/CD duplicator applications and we are confident that anyone who uses DVDs and CDs will welcome the next generation 1:1 DVD/CD Copy Cruiser Pro HLS. You can record or duplicate DVDs or CDs, create labels with the powerful Aleratec Disc Publishing Software Suite, load the LightScribe media and click 'Print.' It really is that simple! No expensive ink cartridges, no messy markers or adhesive labels. Just amazingly clear labels right before your eyes," stated Perry Solomon, President and CEO. "While our new publisher is faster and lighter than its predecessor, what has not changed is our customers are not tethered to costly solutions with expensive proprietary consumables which are common characteristics of most disc publishing systems. We have added remarkable value to DVD/CD duplicators with the introduction of LightScribe disc labeling technology and they are available only from Aleratec."
The 1:1 DVD/CD Copy Cruiser Pro HLS (Aleratec Part # 260156, Ingram Micro SKU # M46539), the next generation of the award winning LightScribe DVD/CD Personal Publisher, has an Estimated Retail Price of $349.

"The Aleratec 1:1 DVD/CD Copy Cruiser Pro HLS offers another powerful desktop LightScribe disc publishing system that will appeal to small business users that need professional quality and quantity, and who, today, rely on outside sources," said Kent Henscheid, Marketing Manager for LightScribe.
The 1:1 DVD/CD Copy Cruiser Pro HLS has a new look and incorporates 20x DVD recording technology and can function as a 1:1 DVD/CD Duplicator or an external USB 2.0 DVD/CD Recorder.
