CHATSWORTH, Calif., Oct. 29, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Aleratec Inc., leading developer and manufacturer of "Prosumers' Choice" solutions for the Blu-ray, DVD/CD, USB duplicating, and DVD/CD publishing markets, announces the next generation of its 1:2 Desktop LightScribe Publishing system, the innovative new Aleratec 1:2 DVD/CD Copy Cruiser LS, High Speed Edition. When connected to a PC via USB 2.0, the Aleratec 1:2 DVD/CD Copy Cruiser LS, High Speed Edition, is a 1:2 DVD/CD Duplicator that enables small and medium businesses to simply, conveniently and affordably burn or LightScribe label two CDs or DVDs at once.

"The Aleratec 1:2 DVD/CD Copy Cruiser LS, High Speed Edition with two LightScribe drives effectively cuts disc copying time and disc labeling time in half compared to single recording drive solutions, and it is 25% faster than its predecessor. All businesses can benefit by having custom DVDs and CDs custom labeled with vivid silkscreen quality. With the Aleratec 1:2 DVD/CD Copy Cruiser LS, High Speed Edition, businesses are empowered with total control of the disc publishing process: from disc content to custom labels to quantities and schedules."
