Blu-Ray media not the only option for large file distribution
Whilst we can guarantee that the opportunity for digital distribution will continue to cut into the potential afforded by disc based media, we can also see the 2 technologies working together. BDLive discs allow the bulk of the media rich high definition content to be be purchased or supplied on disc, whilst updates and enhancements may be downloaded vie the internet.
Another thorn in the side to optical media is the large file capacity afforded by flash media. USB pen drives now offer seemingly unlimited storage capacity, far beyond that of standard blu-ray disc media.
Interestingly USB and SD card copiers are becoming increasingly common, Companies like StorDigital systems have a new range of SD flash media and USB pen drive duplicators available now.
Perfect for producing pen drives that might be used as promotional tools or for music distribution. The StorDigital card media copiers make perfect copies with a single button press.
Here are the new models:

Epson Disc Producer Product Review
At CD-writer.com we have got hands on experience of every CD and DVD production systems made available to the UK market in the last 10 years, whether it be Rimage, Microboards, Primera, StorDigital, XLNT, MFDigital (the list goes on). It can be said that many manufacturers will talk to us prior to releasing their products onto the market. That's exactly what Epson UK did when they needed to sound out the market place for their new product the Epson Disc Producer.From first impressions, look and feel it is clear that Epson's new Disc publishing system has been very well conceived. They will go to lengths to tell you that this sort of product is smack in the middle of Epson territory, since they own printer technology and robotics technology, and the tell is a pure blend of the two.
There is something else about the Epson product too, and that the finish. It uses high quality plastic that is beveled, rounded and glossed. It has lines that you would appreciate in a top of the range BMW. Its tonal greys plastics compliment the transparent viewing windows, housed in the solid lid that clicks solidly into place. This highly finished product is just starting its journey.
For sure Epson are late to release this product. It's a mature and saturated market with many players, most notable Primera and MicroBoards. Clearly the unit has been years in development and must have cost $1000'000's in development. So how do Epson plan to see a return on their investment? Well the PP-100 has reliability, quality, durability, economy on its side. Additionally we can expect the established distribution network, the wide marketing reach to assist, but most notably we think the free 1 year on site warranty goes a long way to prove Epson's confidence in their product.
Technically the Epson PP-100 is ahead of the pack. With its 6 colour ink cart system the print quality is astounding and more economical than its competitors. It is only closely matched by the MicroBoards MX-2 and PrintFactory Pro series.
So what does the PP-100 offer? You get an out of the box solution for the automated production of up to 100 CDs or DVDs, you get 2 built in DVD CD burners and you get an integrated market leading inkjet printer. Unattended operation means making up to 100 discs richly printed on matt or glossy discs is a breeze, and the six colour printing technology provides a jaw dropping finish. Whatsmore the design and build quality is such that larger production runs of up to 1000 can be accomplished without worry of sticking or dropping discs.
Getting up and running is easy with the PP-100 with its out of the box plug and play operation, the bundled Total Disc Maker software makes instant operation easy. The unit ships with a compliment of ink cartridges with a proposed output of 1000 discs that cost around £0.17 per unit to print.
The Total Disc Maker software that ships with the unit is very easy to use. Just like the familiar Nero software you can Data DVD, Data CD, Music CD, Music & Data CD, Video CD, or a Copy of a DVD or CD. The software also includes a label designing application containing templates. You can also import your own artwork in BMP and JPEG formats. It is very important when using imported artwork that it is of the correct size and DPI, with 300DPI resolution being best. This will ensure perfect printing. You can also quickly and easily make simple text labels. Other more complex functions are also available that allow the user to dynamically create disc labels.
Once you have selected your data and created your artwork, simply click the publish button to start the production process. Whilst in operation the PP-100 will keep you informed about the job status via the Epson Total Disc Monitoring software. This keeps you informed about how many discs you have done, how many are left to record, if you need to refill the machine and how much ink you have left. All very useful information when trying to ensure the production of prefect quality discs.
Further Points to note:
Keeping track of previous jobs for re-orders is made easy since the device and software keeps a record of all previous jobs, and the elements used to create them.The 6 separate inks systems can be a life saver, since not only do you achieve the highest possible print quality, but you will also save money, since; if you want to print 100 discs that are blue, you will only need to change the Blue cartridge when it runs out. This is good for the environment too, since it saves ink wastage.
The Epson Disc Producer also uses an AcuGrip mechanism on its robotic lifter ensuring it only lifts one disc and avoids double loading and jamming caused by sticky disc phenomenon.
Typically the PP-100 can print 1 disc per minute, but overall output is determined buy the amount of data being burnt to the discs.
Since the device is completely sealed in its robust housing the Epson PP-100 ensures that the discs remain free of dust and fingerprints. This housing make the PP-100 ideal for medical purposes or in facilities whereby there may be potential for contamination or disruption.
To Conclude:

In the opinion of CD-writer.com Ltd the Epson Disc Producer PP-100 is a well conceived, considerately designed and perfectly engineered solution for the production of high quality disc media. Whether your requirement is for single discs or larger volumes you will find the PP-100 easy to use with superb printing and recording results.

Blu-ray sales accelerate to record levels in Japan
Latest GfK Retail and Technology Japan figures have revealed that in the first week of November 2008, Blu-ray Disc Recorders have surpassed a 50% market share for DVD Recorders in unit terms.
Looking back to October 2007, Blu-ray Disc Recorders accounted for a market share of 10% and have since exhibited rapid growth.
The average sales price has begun to come down in 2008. In the first week of June 2008, the average sales price of Blu-ray Disc Recorders was between 110,000 – 120,000 JPY. By the third week of October, it dropped to between 100,000 – 110,000 JPY.
GfK Retail and Technology estimates that the price will continue to be reduced in the build-up to Christmas and the product may become ‘one-to-watch’ during the winter sales.
Blu-ray transition outpacing DVD recorders
In addition to this impressive growth, according to GfK’s retail audit survey, Blu-ray Disc Recorders are replacing DVD Recorders 1.5 times faster than DVD Recorders replaced VHS Recorders.
DVD recorders exceeded 10% market share in the fifth week of April 2002 and continued to grow steadily, eventually surpassing 50% after 82 weeks in the fourth week of November 2003. In comparison, Blu-ray Disc Recorders exceeded 10% market share in the fifth week of October 2007 and after 53 weeks, in the first week of November 2008, surpassed 50%.

One of the principal reasons for this quicker rate of change is the rise in sales of Flat Panel TVs, enabling viewers to experience digital high definition broadcasting. Blu-ray Recorders can record digital high definition broadcasting without any drop in quality, which has assisted the accelerated demand for this product.
