Despite Vinpower replacing the printer twice, so that we're now on printer 3, and many many emails and hours with tech support, ICC profiles etc, I have not been able to get this to print properly. Has anyone?

At least two other duplicators have reported the same problems ("we're not the only ones who wasted our money"); ("we too bought one and fortunately had made sure we could return it if it didn't meet expectations. It took us 60 days to get a refund").

So far, no reports of anyone who could get this to work.

Have you tried any transfer solutions for the direct to disc printing? Many companies provide the service or solution.. Please contact me for more details, Tom Booth 410-646-7800 122

[Are there any machines out there built specifically for the purpose of cutting, creasing/perforating and folding CD and DVD inserts (preferably all in one shot)? I am aware of a few products (such as the Martin Yale CDS200) which will do one or several of these procedures but none that do it all. Any leads or details would be most appreciated, and I would also like to hear from anyone who has experience with using the CDS200 or similar equipment.]

I have been using the CDS200 for a couple of years. I find it hard to use it for both cutting and perforating at the same time. I therefore only use it for perforation and vertical cutting only. I print 11x17 then cut into letter size, then slide the letter size (with a 2-up traycard) through. After that I use a separate cutter to horizontally cut the traycards into size. It's working out very well for me. Only thing is to regularly clear the cut out paper at the rear end. I once had a jam and had to take it back for repair. Otherwise than that it's a work horse.

Hi Joseph, how are you?
as far as I know there is not a technical definition or difference between cd for duplication and cd for retail. Moreover Mitsui and Tayo Yuden are also retail product in some country like Japan and Princo has been for a long time a retail product also. In Italy if you use CD for duplication of your own company data you can ask back the levy if you've paid it to your supplier. Or, if you sign a contract with the SIAE (organization that collect the levy in Italy) stating and demonstrating that you are a duplicator your supplier can sell you cd without imposing the levy. Maybe there is something similian in your country.

The page became corrupted (for reasons unknown). The page has now been restored at http://www.discdupe.org/i/logos.html

I know of no software that will just read the TOC and then produce a report.
For audio CDs, Sony CD Architect will extract the disc to your computer and then produce and accurate track sheet. I've not seen anything comparable for data discs.

[Does anyone have any knowledge of and/or experience with the Bethel Plastics BP-48 overwrap machine. Supposedly it will handle both CD and DVD cases as well as audio and video cassettes. They claim it will do 48 pieces per minute. Just wondering how well this machine works, how long it takes to switch over from CD to DVD and vice-versa, and whether a price of $15k USD is reasonable for a 2-year old unit.]

Send me your e-mail address to ian@solstice-inc.com and I'll send you a comparason chart for this system. I don't think it will wrap 48 per minute, nor will it wrap video cassettes.
