Primera Technology Intros Accent II Disc Laminator
March 04, 2005
Plymouth, MN - Primera Technology's new Accent II Disc Laminator is now available.
Accent II lays down a thin layer of glossy transparent or holographic film over inkjet printed CDs and DVDs, protecting inkjet printed discs from water, scratching, sunlight, smudging and rough handling.
Accent II replaces the original Accent Disc Laminator and includes many new and improved features:
- Now laminates 2.2 inches per second and completes a full disc in 7 seconds. The original Accent model laminated at 1.5 inches per second;
- Several key mechanical components have been strengthened for heavier-duty, higher-volume use;
- An adapter for laminating 80mm round CDs and DVDs as well as "hockey rink" business cards is included;
- New laminating tray and disc clamping mechanism handles virtually all "cupped" inkjet printable-surface discs, those slightly warped discs, due to ambient humidity.
Accent II offers two types of overlaminate film:
ClearCoat
Accent's ClearCoat overlaminate film protects discs with a clear laminate that is highly water and scratch-resistant. With ClearCoat, printed colors become brighter, more vibrant and have a professional-looking, high-gloss finish.
AuthentiCoat
Primera's exclusive AuthentiCoat overlaminate film provides the same environmental protection as ClearCoat, but also includes holographic images embedded in the film substrate that are transferred to the surface of the discs. Both standard and custom holographic patterns are available.
Custom holograms can include company logos, product logos, graphics and text for authentic discs. Holographic images not only impart a unique, high-end decorative feature to the discs, but also confirm that the disc is an original or an authorized copy. This helps to prevent and discourage theft of content.
Accent II can be used as a stand-alone laminator or connected with Primera's ADL-100 High-Speed Autoloader. The ADL-100 loads and unloads up to 100 preprinted and prerecorded discs. For completely automatic burn, print and laminate operation, Accent II easily attaches to Primera's ComposerMAX CD / DVD Duplicator.
With all of these changes, Accent II is still priced at $3, 495 (USD; MSRP). The ADL-100 High-Speed Autoloader is priced at $1,395. Lamination film pricing varies depending upon the type selected. ClearCoat lamination film is priced at $0.10 per disc (MSRP).
