  After much anticipation, the Epson Disc Producer has finally arrived!
  
  Boasting a built-in 6-color inkjet printer and utilizing Epson's MicroPiezo® technology, the Epson Disc Producer allows for rich, crisp, full colour printing.
  
  Its 100 disc capacity and AcuGripâ„¢ robotic arm are nestled within a compact dust-proof casing, making it a good choice for home & business users alike.
