Duplication service
The Epson PP-100 is the perfect tool for maximising margins in the rapidly growing media production market. Whether you want to use Epson PP-100 for an individual disc or a batch job, Epson PP-100’s high reliability, superb print quality and cost-effectiveness make it the ideal system for service providers.

Clinics and practices
The switch from analogue X-ray or CT film to digital imaging offers new possibilities for cutting process costs and improving patient service. In areas such as radiology, cardiology, ultrasound and CT imaging, the medical community can supply a better service to its patients through the use of digital data.

Corporations
Increasingly, sectors such as marketing, sales, product development and customer service need to burn multimedia documents onto CD/DVD. But manual burning and labelling of CD/DVDs - especially short runs - carries a significant labour overhead. Automating the procedure using the Epson PP-100 saves considerable time and money, while ensuring that confidential data stays in-house.

Advertising and photo agencies
The CD/DVD medium plays a dual role within advertising and photo agencies. Not only is it an efficient means of delivering digital content to customers, but creative labelling can be a powerful promotional tool, too. The Epson PP-100 uses 6-color Micro Piezo inkjet printing to give agencies a valuable opportunity to showcase their design skills through high-impact labelling.

The Public Sector
By automating the burning/printing process, the Epson PP-100 offers organisations within the public sector a valuable way of reducing costs, streamlining processes and enhancing the quality and efficiency of public services.

High-end print technology and robotics
The quality of any system is a function of the technology inside it. As the only manufacturer in the world that designs, develops and markets both inkjet printers and industrial precision robots, Epson PP-100 offers the perfect blend of expertise and experience to set new standards in price-performance with products such as the Epson PP-100.

As well as the stand-alone version of the product, Epson is developing a networkcompatible version of the Discproducer, featuring additional security functions. It will be available in 2008.

Schools and universities
As the importance of multimedia educational content increases, in both schools and universities, the need for fast and cost-effective CD/DVD duplication also increases. With the ability to duplicate up to 30 CDs per hour and more than 10,000 per year, the Epson PP-100 is ideally suited to the demands of the educational sector.

Software and IT companies
Any software or IT company that regularly produces customer-specific CD/DVD batches will want to know about the Epson PP-100. Whether it’s software updates, service packs, multimedia product presentations or data archiving, the Epson PP-100 will make an important contribution to the reduction of labour and process costs.

Pre-press services
Companies working in the field of digital pre-press will find the Epson PP-100 invaluable for quickly and conveniently burning work onto visual storage media. With the amazing photo-quality performance of the 6-color Micro Piezo? inkjet printer, they can also demonstrate their own creative and quality standards.

Many data types
Working with the Epson PP-100 is as easy as working with an ordinary office printer. Whatever volume of data you need to burn - and whatever type, from music and photos to videos and multimedia presentations - you’ll find perfect results at your fingertips.

1. Ink level status LED

2. Six separate ink cartridges

3. Three media trays for runs of up to 100

4. Robotic arm

The Epson PP-100 is the only product of its type that shows ink status for each individual color using LED.

The Epson quality hallmark

When you build industrial robots, you learn about quality, reliability and precision engineering. And Epson is a world-leader in the design, development and manufacture of such robots as for medical technology and airbag testing. That’s why our other products are so reliable - because they are built on the platform of knowledge and experience gained from the robotics environment. The Epson PP-100 is a perfect example. Its compact design, coupled with its dust-proof body and a minimum of moving parts, delivers precision performance, superb reliability and amazingly low running costs.

Individual or batch production

If you need to burn and print an individual disc, no problem - you can have it at the touch of a button. And if you want to print batches? Again, it’s simple - the Epson PP-100 has three trays for 50 discs, allowing up to 100 discs to be produced in one work cycle. It also has an additional drawer for up to 5 discs, so individual CD/DVD blanks can be conveniently removed without having to open the housing.

Compact all-in-one design

With a housing that’s less than 40 cm wide, the Epson PP-100 is one of the smallest systems in its class. In fact, it’s the only system in its segment that offers the ergonomic advantages of being operated totally from the front. Its flat housing means you can stack two systems to save space, and - if required - the top can also be used as a handy storage surface, ideal for media and print cartridges.

Patented AcuGrip? robotic armSpecially designed for the EpsonDiscproducer?, the AcuGrip? mechanism ensures that the robotic arm reliably grabs only one CD/ DVD blank - even if they’re stuck together. This increases the life of the product and helps protect against the interruption of unsupervised production runs due to mechanical blockage.

Monitoring system reliability
The Epson PP-100’s Monitoring Software keeps you informed about all important parameters, such as tray status and pending jobs. This helps you choose whether to let your production run continue unattended, and protects you against any unexpected interruptions - especially useful when you’re working against a tight deadline.
