A Faster and More Capable CD-R/DVD-R Printer



Signature IV CD color printer is ideal for any business or organization that performs in-house duplication of CD-Rs for data, software distribution, audio, music and archival purposes. Its 1200×1200 dpi print resolution, delivering 1.44 million pixels per square inch, yields extremely high print quality on graphics and text. Signature IV also prints photographic images in stunning quality and realism with no visible dot patterns. A SuperPhoto mode, which has been optimized specifically for high-resolution photographic images, is ideal for those users who desire the very best print quality possible.

The printer has four distinct print modes which allow the user to specify the level of speed and print quality desired, the fastest of which is just 27 seconds per disc. Monochrome printing is even faster: about 5 seconds per disc at 15% coverage.

The latest model maintains an identical footprint, case design and interface to previous CD printers from Primera Technology. This enables plug-and-play integration to dozens of automatic loaders and duplication systems available from third parties.

Signature IV comes complete with printer drivers for Windows 98/ME and 2000/XP. Also included is "SureThing™ First Edition for Windows", a design program created specifically for the unique shape of CDs and DVDs. For those who prefer to use their own Windows design software, the Signature IV's printer driver software will automatically format the image to the proper size of the disc and "knock-out" the center hole when printed. The printer comes complete with built-in color matching software called PrimaColor™. This allows the user to create disc designs that are true to industry-standard color tables.



New to Signature IV is an exclusive early-warning ink-level monitoring system. It tells the user how much ink remains before a run of discs is started and estimates how many actual discs can be printed based upon an on-the-fly analysis of how much ink is required for a particular image. This feature is especially beneficial when Signature IV is used in conjunction with an unattended autoloader or automatic disc duplicator.

Signature IV prints onto a wide variety of printable-surface media, including CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R or any other 120 mm optical disc with a printable-surface.

Optional adapter kits are also available for business card shaped CDs and 80 mm mini-discs. For the best print quality and durability, the use of media from one of Primera's Authorized Media Partners is recommended. Current media partners include Maxell, Microboards PrintWrite, Mitsui, Ricoh and Verbatim. Also, Primera's own Signature-branded CD-R media feature a protective coating called Tuff-Coat™. This unique surface allows ink to dry immediately, eliminating any chance of smearing due to handling.
