Epson Disc Producer
Oct 26th
After much anticipation, the Epson Disc Producer has finally arrived!
Boasting a built-in 6-color inkjet printer and utilizing Epson’s MicroPiezo® technology, the Epson Disc Producer allows for rich, crisp, full colour printing.
Its 100 disc capacity and AcuGrip™ robotic arm are nestled within a compact dust-proof casing, making it a good choice for home & business users alike.
But have Epson left it too late? With firmly established duplication systems from manufacturers like Primera, Microboards & MFDigital already on the market, each with years of experience behind them, it seems hard to believe Epson can bring anything radically different to the duplication market.
Keep checking the cd-writer blog for a full-review and see how the Epson Disc Publisher fairs when the CD-Writer.com team put the machine through it’s paces.
