Recording your own compact discs is a relatively new technology that has already become widespread. There are many reasons for wanting to produce CDs in house. For example:

bulletthe volume of disc production makes the cost of conventional silk-screening prohibitive.
bulletproduction or distribution deadlines do not allow the use of printers located off-site
bulletthe discs may contain confidential, proprietary or classified information and require strict physical control which does not allow them to be sent off site
bulletcompany procedures or legal requirements may require color-coded labels (for example: colored rings to specify security classification) which cannot be removed
bulletdiscs need to be serial numbered or need to receive unique identification on a per-disc basis
bulletdemonstration discs or discs to be sent to customers require professional color graphics in their labeling

The use of recordable CD discs has grown exponentially in recent months. Much of the reason is drastic price reduction in the costs of media and recorders. Another factor has been the maturation of recording software, allowing anyone familiar with Windows or Macintosh systems to easily produce properly formatted discs. However, professionally labeling these discs seems to have been an afterthought in many cases.

Craig Associates International, based in Milpitas, California, is widely known as the leader in color labeling solutions for CD-R discs. The CAI ColorScribe 6000 was the world’s first color CD-R printer, and it remains superior for quality and reliability. Based on the same superb Canon print engine as the CS6000, the CS9000 adds advanced automation capabilities to facilitate production use. With an excellent list price, volume disc production becomes amazingly affordable.

Features of the CS9000 include:

bulletTrue full-color printing using standard CMYK process colors
bulletFull 720x720-dpi resolution
bulletFour separate ink cartridges including true black for enhanced print quality and economy of use
bulletAverage of one-minute print time per full-color disc
bulletEasily replaceable ink cartridges available everywhere
bulletPowerful Windows® drivers allowing full control of color, print quality, brightness and contrast, etc.
bulletFlexible operation with standard graphics programs

Developed in response to customer demand for a hands-free production system, the CS9000 is a tray-loading printer that provides a full-color labeling solution.

While the CS9000 is fully capable of operating in a manual-feed mode, the printer comes complete with a 100-disc transport to allow fully automatic operation. Drivers are also available to operate the printer with the Kodak Disc Transport.  If you already have the Kodak unit and don't want the CS9000 Transport, contact us for pricing on the printer alone.
