Mass produce CDs and DVDs

One of the cooler products we've looked at is Primera's Bravo Disc Publisher, which lets you mass duplicate CDs and print directly on them without having to use those peel-and-stick labels.

Today, the good folks at Primera announced its Bravo II Disc Publisher, which burns and prints CDs and DVDs through the use of its advanced robotic mechanism. The robot arm transports a disk into a 52x-speed CD-R recorder, or an optional Pioneer combination DVD+/-R/CD-R drive. After recording, the robot arm then transfers it to an integrated printer, and the "label" gets printed directly on the disc at up to 4,800 dpi resolution. The device lets you print up to 50 disks per job, the company says.

The device works with Windows 2000 and XP systems, and Mac OS X version 10.2 or later. Bundled with the device is recording and label design software. Pricing was not announced, but previous versions of the Bravo Disc Publisher cost between $2,000 and $2,500. Check out the Primera Web site for more details.
