Aleratec Announces the Next Generation LightScribe DVD/CD Publishing System

Scalable Desktop LightScribe DVD/CD Publishing System Available Immediately


CHATSWORTH, Calif., Oct. 15, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Aleratec, leading developer and manufacturer of "Prosumers' Choice" solutions for the Blu-ray, DVD/CD, USB duplicating, and DVD/CD publishing markets, is excited to announce another "Only from Aleratec" product, the next generation of the popular, award winning, scalable desktop LightScribe DVD/CD Publishing System. The innovative 1:2 DVD/CD Copy Cruiser Pro HLX can operate as a stand alone 1:1 DVD/CD Duplicator. When connected to your PC via USB 2.0, it becomes a 1:2 DVD/CD Duplicator. And with LightScribe Direct Disc Labeling technology, it can laser burn silkscreen quality labels on two discs at once.

This exciting new disc publisher can be easily expanded to a DVD/CD publishing system with double this capacity. Since the included Aleratec DVD/CD Disc Publishing Software Suite supports simultaneous use of multiple drives, the 1:2 DVD/CD Copy Cruiser Pro HLX easily scales to a system capable of double capacity by simply plugging in another unit to your PC. Customers now have a 1:4 DVD/CD duplicator, a four drive direct to disc labeler, and two stand alone duplicators when they need them.

"Our first generation scalable desktop disk publisher has been an exciting, award winning success. Now virtually the same features are available in the new 1:2 DVD/CD Copy Cruiser Pro HLX with faster disc publishing times and an attractive new lighter weight enclosure design," stated Perry Solomon, President and CEO of Aleratec. "The 1:2 DVD/CD Copy Cruiser Pro HLX can duplicate DVDs at up to 20x speeds in its stand alone mode. Connect it to a PC and it becomes a 20x two disc LightScribe publisher. Since it is scalable, you buy only what you need now and you have the option to double capacity later."

LightScribe technology is an integrated system that combines LightScribe enabled DVD/CD recorders with specially coated LightScribe media and the powerful Aleratec Disc Publishing Software Suite, to produce precise, laser-etched, silkscreen quality labels with superior sharpness and clarity. LightScribe creates great-looking, direct to disc CD and DVD labels right in the drive -- no messy markers or additional printing supplies required. Just burn your images or data onto the disc, flip the disc over to the label side, reinsert the disc and burn a customized label.

"With LightScribe, Aleratec customers can create graphic and text CD and DVD labels in-house that look professional," said Kent Henscheid, Marketing Manager for LightScribe. "Labels can be a descriptive title or content list, incorporate relevant images and/or a company logo. Whether small businesses want to burn a few discs or many, this innovative system by Aleratec scales to meet their needs."

The 1:2 DVD/CD Copy Cruiser Pro HLX (Aleratec Part # 260157, Ingram Micro SKU # M46538), is the only scalable desktop LightScribe DVD/CD Publisher. The 1:2 DVD/CD Copy Cruiser Pro HLX is proudly assembled in the U.S.A. from components sourced globally and is a remarkable value with a low Estimated Street Price of $479.
