The Rimage Everest II Color Thermal CD/DVD Printer is the next generation thermal retransfer
CD/DVD direct-to-disc printer. The Everest II features
full color, offset-quality printing, edge to edge coverage,
and durability unmatched by any other disc printing
method. The Everest II with its photo-realistic printing
and durable laminated finish is truly the world leader in
disc printing.
The Everest II speeds through every job, printing discs in less than 60 seconds.
With its offset-quality printing, photo-realistic color, resolution that exceeds most
screen printing, and its industry leading durable printed surface; the Everest II is right
for any job.
The Everest II utilizes Rimage's patented retransfer printing process. The CMY
panels are first printed to a clear retransfer ribbon inside the printer. Then, using heat
and pressure, the printed image and a layer of the clear ribbon are applied to the disc.
The finished product emerges dry, durable, and ready to handle. The final effect is
amazing - a colorful, high resolution, disc with your choices of photos, graphics, text,
bar codes, you name it - in less than 60 seconds.
The pigmented ink on the Everest II ribbons is UV protected, ensuring vibrant colors
throughout the life of a disc. Everest II disc printing will pass any sunshine or
dashboard test you devise - a significant advantage over other disc printers. And
because the ink is not water based, you will never see a smeared Everest II disc.
Everest II printing also won't scratch off. You'll ruin the disc before you can scratch
the label. This enables discs to be used for commercial distribution because Everest II
printed discs can withstand the rigors of day-to-day consumer handling.
The Everest II employs an innovative variable dot technology, where the dots
composing an image vary in size, resulting in sharper images with greater detail. In
addition, the MicroDry ink is actually a thermal resin that contains pigment. This dry
technology produces a dot with a fine edge. Consequently, dots per inch, or DPI, does
not accurately reflect the print resolution. A better measure is lines per inch (LPI), and
that is where Everest II truly shines. Silk-screen printing typically produces 85-120
LPI, and magazines are generally offset printed at 150 LPI. Everest II prints labels at
160 LP color or monochrome printing that is better than silk-screen.
The CDPR21 Rimage Everest II Color Thermal CD/DVD Printer may still be available for purchase and support from Artisan Technology Group beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
