Imation Introduces Industry’s First Water-Resistant, Inkjet Printable Blu-Ray Media
OAKDALE,
Minn., Feb. 07– Imation Corp , a worldwide leader in removable data
storage media, today announced the world’s first inkjet printable and
water-resistant Blu-ray media. Optimized for professional
disc duplication, users can record high-definition video, gaming, data
and other content on Imation Inkjet Printable BD-R Media with
AquaGuard(TM) technology, then print water- and smear-resistant
graphics and text right on the disc’s surface. The discs are compatible
with Blu-ray disc players and recorders, including the Primera(R) Bravo
XR-Blu Disc Publisher and the Bravo SE Blu, the world’s first automated
burn and print devices to support high-capacity Blu-ray media. Imation
Inkjet Printable Media with AquaGuard technology also is ideal for
reliable business backup of high-capacity digital files.
“Imation’s
Blu-ray media with AquaGuard technology is the perfect disc,” said
James Milligan, General Manager, Commercial/OEM Division, Imation Corp.
“We’ve designed each side of the disc for professional use. The data
side features high capacity and scratch resistance. The inkjet
printable side allows for creation of custom, water-resistant printed
images and text. When used with Primera’s industry-leading disc
publishers, users can quickly and easily create high-quality,
cutting-edge Blu-ray disc projects with ease.”
Imation’s Inkjet
Printable BD-R discs with AquaGuard surface are ideal for a variety of
advanced applications such as the creation of high-definition video
recordings, game development for systems like PlayStation(R) 3, and the
post production of digital movies. Capable of storing up to 25GB of
digital files, the media’s AquaGuard technology offers a brilliant
white, smear- and water-resistant inkjet printable disc surface for
professional disc prints. Featuring proprietary nanoparticle
technology, the AquaGuard coating grips and holds ink to lock designs
in place, unlike standard inkjet media that easily smears when exposed
to moisture. Additionally, Imation’s innovative AquaGuard technology is
a 2007 CES Innovations Design and Engineering Awards Honoree.“Adding
Imation’s AquaGuard surface to Blu-ray disc media is a technology
breakthrough,” said Mark Strobel, Vice President, Sales and Marketing,
Primera Technology. “Users who have been quick to adopt Blu-ray
technology know that the media is ideal for a variety of high-capacity
applications. A water- resistant, inkjet printable surface for the
discs ensures that media produced with Primera’s Bravo XR-Blu and Bravo
SE Blu Disc Publishers will continue to have a high-quality,
professional appearance even when exposed to the elements.” Primera
Technology, Inc. is the world’s leading manufacturer of automated disc
publishing equipment.Imation Inkjet Printable BD-R Media with AquaGuard
technology is now shipping to authorized Imation distributors for a
manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $24.99 for a single disc with
jewel case. Primera also sells the media with its Blu-ray-enabled disc
publishers.
