Elite Micro DVD±R



For somewhat less than twice the price one can get this one, with twice the throughput and a built-in PC. Probably can't justify either of them at this point, but it's awfully tempting.

Where I work, we have several standalone machines like this - one is an 8-drive DVD duplicator, the other three are CD/DVD printers based on a modified HP printer chassis. Each can take up to 200 discs at a time, and the printer sytems have a CD reader for loading print files.

Of course, as it's a standalone system, there is a separate spike for putting failed disks - I notice that the unit you've linked to doesn't have that, so presumably the operator has to intervene when a disk fails.

Only real complaint is that the printers get through ink cartridges like they were going out of fashion, and we've found that turning off the ink level warning and keeping an eye on the printer means that we can print up to a 100+ extra discs before running out of ink. Saved us several thousand pounds over the last year!
